Labiaplasty in Seoul, Korea

Labiaplasty reshapes or reduces the labia minora when they cause discomfort (for example pain in tight clothes or during sex), hygiene problems or self-consciousness.

About the labia minora

The labia minora are the inner folds at the vaginal opening. They help shield the vagina and urethra from bacteria and are rich in nerve endings. Their size, symmetry and color vary a great deal between women and change with age, hormones and friction.

When women consider surgery

  • Pain when walking in tight clothing
  • Enlarged labia that trap discharge or urine, causing itching or odor
  • Labia covering the clitoris and reducing sensation
  • Labia pulled inward and painful during sex
  • Asymmetry or darkening that affects confidence

The procedure

The excess or uneven tissue is designed, removed and stitched. A laser technique helps limit bleeding and pain and keeps scars small. You can choose local anesthesia or sedation.

Realistic expectations

Surgery can relieve physical discomfort and improve confidence. As with any surgery, there are risks such as swelling, infection, wound separation or changes in sensation. Your doctor will discuss these in English and make sure you have time to decide. International patients should read planning a cosmetic gynecology trip and aftercare.
