Labiaplasty
Treatment Overview
Labiaplasty is a procedure to remove excess labial minora tissue. This procedure helps to reduce the overhanging of the flaps that may cause irritation or pulling of the labial minora. This can be performed under a local or general anaesthetic procedure. A large number of patients have this under local anaesthetic as an outpatient procedure. There is minimal downtime with this procedure and most return to work within a day or two. To find out more information about labiaplasty Manchester or Cheshire patients should book a consultation please contact us via our contact form.
Firstly, we will plan the amount of labial tissue for removal. The procedure involves small injections of local anaesthetic into the labia minora which helps numb the area. During the procedure for labiaplasty Cheshire & Manchester patients will have the excess tissue removed and cauterised to reduce the risks of bleeding. The labia is then stitched in a number of layers.

Recovery Guide
“I can’t thank my surgeon Dr Reza Sedghi Nassab, he’s been fantastic, answered all my questions, made me feel at ease & felt in safe hands. He’s a very good surgeon with a lovely bedside manner.”
There are two main types called a wedge or trim labiaplasty. The wedge is usually performed if the excess labial tissue is mainly protruding in the central part of the labia minora. The trim labiaplasty is performed if reduction of labial tissue is required along the length of the labia.
At Reza Nassab Plastic Surgery in Cheshire & Manchester labiaplasty is considered to be a safe procedure when performed by a fully trained surgeon that is a BAPRAS or BAAPS member. Complications are rare but can occur, they may include:
You will have scars where the tissue has been removed. The scars normally heal very well in this area. With the trim excision, the scar runs along the length of the labia. If you have a wedge, the scar is usually hidden inside the labia.
There may be some minor differences between the two sides.
There is a small risk of wound breakdown or delayed wound healing. These risks are increased in smokers.
There may be a small risk of infection. This may require antibiotics to help if its occurs.
There is a small risk of bleeding or haematoma. The labia are very vascular which means there are lots of blood vessels in the area. Some medications or health supplements can increase the risks of bleeding.
The normal recommendation is 6 weeks for strenuous physical activity. Exercising earlier may cause increases in blood pressure and heart rate that may increase the risk of bleeding. Although you can go for short walks.
You should avoid sexual intercourse for the first 6 weeks following surgery.
The price for this starts from £5000 under local anaesthetic as an outpatient. The price for a labiaplasty in Manchester & Cheshire can be more if under general anaesthetic and inpatient.

Labiaplasty removes excess labia minora tissue to reduce overhang, irritation and pulling. It can be performed under local or general anaesthetic. Many patients have it under local anaesthetic as an outpatient procedure with minimal downtime — most return to daily activities within 1–2 days.
The tissue to be removed is planned first. Local anaesthetic is injected to numb the area. Excess tissue is then removed and cautery is used to reduce bleeding risk. The labia are stitched in a number of layers. A chaperone is always present during examination and the procedure.
There are two main techniques: wedge and trim labiaplasty. The wedge technique is typically used when excess tissue is mainly protruding in the central part of the labia minora. The trim technique reduces tissue along the length of the labia. Mr Nassab will discuss which approach is most suitable for your anatomy during consultation.
Complications are uncommon when performed by a fully trained BAPRAS or BAAPS member surgeon. Risks can include scarring, minor asymmetry, delayed wound healing (higher risk in smokers), infection, and bleeding or haematoma. Some medications and health supplements can increase bleeding risk and should be discussed at consultation.
The usual recommendation is to avoid strenuous physical activity for 6 weeks. Short walks are generally fine from early on. Exercising too soon can increase blood pressure and heart rate, which raises the risk of bleeding and may affect healing.
You should avoid sexual intercourse for the first 6 weeks following surgery to allow the tissues to heal fully and reduce the risk of wound breakdown or infection.
Prices start from £4,250. The most common option — under local anaesthetic as an outpatient — is priced from £5,000. General anaesthetic or inpatient procedures may cost more. A personalised quote is confirmed after consultation with Mr Nassab.
