• Labiaplasty

    The desire for a correction of the labia minora has increased significantly since the year 2000. This has to do in part, that shaving was again fashionable for women in the Western world and also to the fact that in the last 25 years cosmetic surgery has significantly lost its taboo.

Shaving reveals the anatomical details of the female sex, which shows the same diversity as any other physical features. With the increased visibility of the genitals, its appearance has become more and more important.

Oversized inner labia can sometimes lead to physical impairments. As was indicated in a study by Gress (2007), 23% of women listed functional reasons such as pain or rubbing when wearing tight clothing, sports, cycling and invagination of the inner labia during intercourse were decisive in implementing labiaplasty.

Whether aesthetic or functional reasons are in the foreground, almost all of my patients are asking that their inner lips are in an upright position, not visible and equal in size. To this end, the inner lips are usually reduced or aligned. There are also cases where the inner lips are not particularly large and still protrude significantly. This is due to the fact that the outer labia can be very flat and thus cover the vagina (vulva) less than usual.

Schammlippen Korrektur Wien

In assessing the problem the following priority issues must be considered: Are the outer labia too small, are the inner labia too large, or do both cases occur?

Enlarged inner labia can be aligned, reduced or removed completely depending on the patient’s wish. If, in addition to the correction of the labia minora, a coverage of the vagina is also desired, the labia majora can be increased accordingly by use of autologous fat transplantation.

Although labiaplasty essentially “only” removes excess skin, this procedure should by no means be underestimated. The amount of skin to be removed must be well marked before the operation because, due to the high elasticity of the inner labia, it can easily lead to unevenness.

I am of the opinion that the correction of the labia minora, has the same “legitimacy” as any other cosmetic surgery. All cosmetic surgeries are equally necessary and unnecessary. If a woman feels her labia is a nuisance, then she should be able to talk openly about it, unencumbered and without pressure, with her plastic surgeon or gynecologist.

The reduction/removal of the inner labia has nothing to do with the circumcision of women or the removal of the clitoris. Work of this kind must be condemned by every reputable doctor and also of everyone in the strongest terms.

In a labiaplasty, the clitoris, clitoris foreskin and any existing hymen (hymen), remain untouched!

I am looking forward to your visit! – Dr. Turkof

    The surgical preparation includes a blood test (so-called ” complete blood count “), a chest X-ray, and a surgical release by a general practitioner or internist.

The same applies to the OP-release by an internist or general practitioner, who is contracted with the usual social security institutions in Austria.
