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.

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.<\/p>\n<p>Although labiaplasty essentially \u201conly\u201d 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.<\/p>\n<p>I am of the opinion that the correction of the labia minora, has the same \u201clegitimacy\u201d 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>In a labiaplasty, the clitoris, clitoris foreskin and any existing hymen (hymen), remain untouched!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-bg-style-scroll  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section   container_wrap sidebar_right' style='background-color: #3c8182;  '  ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-18645'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:0px; color:#ffffff;font-size:25px;' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h4 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote modern-centered  avia-builder-el-9  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first  av-inherit-size '><h4 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >I am looking forward to your visit! &#8211; <em>Dr. Turkof<\/em><\/h4><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' style='border-color:#ffffff'><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  style=' margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:5px;'  class='hr hr-custom hr-center hr-icon-no   avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_button '><span class='hr-inner  inner-border-av-border-thin' style=' width:20px; border-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.01);' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last ' ><a href='https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/contact-vienna\/'  class='avia-button   avia-icon_select-yes-right-icon avia-size-large avia-position-center '  style='background-color:#ebebeb; border-color:#ebebeb; color:#000000; ' ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Book Appointment<\/span><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_right' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue85b' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section alternate_color avia-section-large avia-no-border-styling  avia-bg-style-scroll  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_tab_container   container_wrap sidebar_right' style=' '  ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-18645'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:50px; font-size:32px;' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3  blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-13  el_before_av_timeline  avia-builder-el-first  av-inherit-size '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag  av-medium-font-size-overwrite av-medium-font-size-29 av-small-font-size-overwrite av-small-font-size-27 av-mini-font-size-overwrite av-mini-font-size-25'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >TERMS | COSTS<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  id=\"avia-timeline-1\"  class='avia-timeline-container    avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_hr  leistungen-kosten' ><ul class='avia-timeline avia-timeline-vertical av-milestone-placement-left avia-timeline- avia_animate_when_almost_visible '>\n<li  class='av-milestone av-animated-generic fade-in av-milestone-odd  av-milestone-valign-baseline '><h2 class='av-milestone-date  '  id='milestone-'><strong><span class='av-milestone-indicator'><\/span><\/strong><\/h2><div class=\"av-milestone-icon-wrap\"><span class='milestone_icon milestone-icon-hasborder' ><span class='milestone_inner' style='background-image:url(https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Icon-Erstordination.png); '>&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/div><article class='av-milestone-content-wrap'><div class='av-milestone-contentbox' ><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4  class=' '>FIRST CONSULTATION<\/h4><\/header><div class='av-milestone-content' ><p>The first consultation takes up to 30 minutes and costs EUR 180.

What is a Labiaplasty?<\/h6>\n<p>Labiaplasty refers to changing the external appearance of the internal and\/or outer labia. The language currently used is above all meant to describe the reduction of the labia minora.<\/p>\n<h6>2 .What possibilities are there for correction of the inner lips?<\/h6>\n<p>Inner labia can be aligned, reduced, or completely removed if desired.<\/p>\n<h6>3. What are the possibilities for correction of the labia majora?<\/h6>\n<p>Outer labia are usually enlarged with autologous fat to cover the inner labia or the vagina better. Sporadicaly oversized outer labia can also be reduced.<\/p>\n<h6>4. Is labia correction purely an aesthetic surgery or are there also medical reasons for it?<\/h6>\n<p>Basically it is a correction in cosmetic surgery, but there are also functional reasons such as pain or rubbing when wearing tight clothing, sports or cycling, and invagination of the inner labia during sexual intercourse.<\/p>\n<h6>5. Does health insurance cover the costs of the surgery?<\/h6>\n<p>Since this is usually an aesthetic surgery, the social security institutions do not cover the costs for the operation. When asymmetries or functional problems exist, after consulting with the medical superintendent\/chief physician of the health insurance, the surgery is generally approved.<\/p>\n<h6>6. Is the surgery performed under local or general anesthesia?<\/h6>\n<p>Labiaplasty can usually be performed under local anesthesia. About 50% of my patients opt for a general anesthetic for comfort reasons in order not to witness the procedure.<\/p>\n<h6>7. Can the hymen be broken during a Labiaplasty?<\/h6>\n<p>During correction of the inner labia the hymen remains intact.<\/p>\n<h6>8. During Labiaplasty can the clitoris be damaged?<\/h6>\n<p>In all variants of the labia correction, the clitoris and clitoral prepuce remain unchanged of course.<\/p>\n<h6>9. How long is the recovery period after a Labiaplasty?<\/h6>\n<p>Wound healing is generally concluded after two weeks. One must take care to keep the genital area hygienic after the operation, (sitz baths after defecation, irrigation with dilute povidone-iodine solution or Camillosan after urination, etc.). Sexual intercourse should be avoided for at least four weeks after the duration.<\/p>\n<h6>10. What complications can occur?<\/h6>\n<p>In experienced hands, complications are extremely rare. They concern mostly the result of (too much, too little or unequally removed) and remain without any health consequences. Medical complications are bleeding, infection or wound healing disorders which also rarely occur.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"av_tab_section\"  =\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div aria-controls=\"tab-id-2-content\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" data-fake-id=\"#tab-id-2\" class=\"tab \"  itemprop=\"headline\" >Preparation for Surgery<\/div>\n<div id=\"tab-id-2-content\" class=\"tab_content \" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"tab_inner_content invers-color\"  itemprop=\"text\" >\n<p>Labiaplasty should always be performed in an ISO-certified operating room of a hospital.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For surgery under local anesthesia, the following tests should be conducted:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Preoperative complete blood count including blood type, HIV and hepatitis A, B, C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For surgery under general anesthesia, the following additional tests are needed:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CHest X-ray<\/li>\n<li>ECG<\/li>\n<li>Surgical release by a general practitioner or internist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please note that the results may not be over 10 days old at the time of surgery.
