Female Intimate Surgery

Intimate surgery, although it has existed for decades, has only recently become widely known to the public. This surgery aims to improve the vulva as a whole (functionally and aesthetically).

The intimate anatomy of women varies greatly in shape, size, symmetry, coloration, and length. Depending on the experience, feelings, and clinical presentation, this can cause functional, aesthetic, or even psychological discomfort that the patient wishes to correct.

Nymphoplasty is the most common procedure in the intimate area, also called labiaplasty. It is a simple and effective operation that involves reducing the hypertrophy of the labia minora or correcting a pre-existing asymmetry. The result is permanent.

The clitoral hood is simply the skin that covers the clitoris (the equivalent of the foreskin in men). Clitoral hood reduction can be performed alone or more frequently at the same time as a nymphoplasty, then referred to as composite labiaplasty. During your consultation at Leman Aesthetic Clinic, a detailed interview will be conducted on the shape, appearance, amount of skin, sexual practices, and erogenous zones. Clitoral hood reduction can be performed using different surgical techniques, all aimed at reducing the hood, lifting it to improve its aesthetic appearance, and increasing sexual pleasure.

Hypotrophy or atrophy of the labia majora can have various causes such as aging, insufficient development, weight loss, or following pregnancy and/or childbirth. A detailed clinical examination of the vulva allows establishing the proportions between the labia majora and labia minora, as sometimes atrophy of the labia majora can make the labia minora appear too large, masking the origin of the problem. The loss of volume following weight loss or aging is due to the decrease in fatty tissue volume in the subcutaneous tissue. The thickness of the labia majora is reduced as well as its trophicity. They may appear empty, flat, or even wrinkled.

Augmentation labiaplasty offers a youthful and sensual appearance of the vulva, more rounded and plump. At Leman Aesthetic Clinic, we will advise you on the filling method, which can be done by hyaluronic acid injection or fat transfer (lipomodeling, lipofilling). The injection of hyaluronic acid or fat restores suppleness, hydration, and volume. By performing this intervention, you regain intimate comfort and a fulfilling sex life, as well as an immediate anti-aging effect.

The mons pubis naturally forms a pubic triangle above the genital area, joining the thighs. Mons pubis liposuction reduces excess fat that may be visible under clothing or swimwear. This targeted liposuction is a simple and effective treatment. It is very often associated with abdominoplasty or cosmetic surgery of the abdomen. Excess volume in the pubic area is frequently noticed after significant weight loss (following bariatric surgery) and is mostly untreated. It may sometimes be accompanied by a lifting procedure in case of excess skin.

Labiaplasty, augmentation of the labia majora, clitoral hood reduction, and mons pubis liposuction are for women who experience discomfort or unease related to the size or shape of their genital area. This can include pain during certain activities such as sports or sexual intercourse, difficulties in wearing certain types of clothing, or aesthetic discomfort. These interventions help restore better physical comfort and psychological well-being.

Recovery and healing after intimate surgery involve a few days of discomfort, with a sensation of tightness and swelling that quickly subsides. To promote good healing, it is essential to follow certain recommendations. Wearing loose clothing or skirts, as well as cotton underwear, is preferable during the first 15 days. To prevent any maceration, make sure to dry the operated area well after daily showers and after each urination. It is also recommended to avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, baths, or aquatic activities, as well as intense sports activities until your post-operative consultation. These precautions are important to ensure optimal healing and prevent any complications. By following these guidelines, you will promote a quick and comfortable recovery and can resume your usual activities with peace of mind.

The results of intimate surgery are often very satisfactory. Patients notice a significant reduction in physical discomfort and an improvement in self-confidence. The aesthetic appearance of the entire vulva is harmonized, contributing to overall well-being. The final result is appreciated at 2 months, with discreet scars that gradually fade over a year.

The cost of intimate surgery at Leman Aesthetic Clinic varies depending on the area and technique used. A nymphoplasty starts at 2’500 CHF for unilateral reduction and 3’500 CHF for bilateral reduction. Complementary methods may be proposed to achieve the best result.
