Medically reviewed: Last reviewed by Mr Reza Nassab, FRCS Plast —

Mr Reza Nassab offers labiaplasty to women across Cheshire, with private consultations at CLNQ on King Street, Knutsford. Labiaplasty under local anaesthetic may be carried out at CLNQ, while surgery under general anaesthetic takes place at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester. Patients from Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield and Altrincham can have their assessment, operation and follow-up close to home, with a consistent team throughout.

Labiaplasty in brief

Labiaplasty reduces the size or projection of the inner labia (labia minora), and sometimes addresses excess clitoral hood skin or fullness of the outer lips. Women seek it for physical reasons, such as rubbing during exercise or discomfort in clothing, and for long-standing self-consciousness. It is performed under local or general anaesthetic and usually takes around an hour, with most patients going home the same day. More detail is on the main labiaplasty page.

Your consultation in Knutsford

Consultations take place at CLNQ, King Street, Knutsford, a private clinic setting where intimate concerns can be discussed discreetly. Mr Nassab will listen to what is troubling you, take a medical history and carry out an examination with a chaperone present. He will explain whether surgery is advisable, which technique suits your anatomy, what recovery involves and the risks. The consultation costs £150 and is charged separately from surgery. You will leave with a clear plan and time to reflect.

Where surgery takes place

Labiaplasty under local anaesthetic may be carried out at CLNQ in Knutsford. If a general anaesthetic is planned, surgery takes place at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, a short drive away. On the day, you will meet the nursing team and, if a general anaesthetic is planned, your anaesthetist. Mr Nassab will review the plan with you and answer any final questions before surgery. After a period of recovery on the ward, you will be discharged home with written aftercare instructions, pain relief and a contact number. You should arrange for someone to drive you home.

Travelling from around Cheshire

Because consultations are in Knutsford and surgery is either at CLNQ or a short drive away in Manchester, many patients from Alderley Edge, Macclesfield, Altrincham and surrounding villages find the journey short and manageable. This matters after labiaplasty, when sitting for long periods can be uncomfortable. Planning a comfortable seat cushion for the car journey home, wearing loose clothing and having your first few days at home clear of commitments all help.

Follow-up and aftercare close to home

Follow-up appointments are arranged at CLNQ Knutsford, so you do not need to travel far while healing. Mr Nassab will check the wounds, advise on returning to work, exercise and intimacy, and continue to review you until healing is complete. If you have concerns between appointments, the team can be contacted. Rapid swelling of one side or heavy bleeding needs urgent contact with the surgical team; fever or spreading redness should be reported the same day.

Cost of labiaplasty in Cheshire

Labiaplasty costs from £5,000 under local anaesthetic and from £7,000 under general anaesthetic. The price includes the surgeon, anaesthetic, hospital and theatre fees and routine follow-up. The £150 consultation is separate. Finance may be available through Chrysalis Finance; Reza Nassab Ltd is a credit broker, not a lender. See the labiaplasty cost guide for more detail.

Who is suitable

Labiaplasty is for adults aged 18 and over who are in good health, ideally non-smokers, and who have realistic expectations. Women planning a future pregnancy may be advised to wait. Mr Nassab is a Consultant Plastic Surgeon on the GMC Specialist Register and will always give an honest view on whether surgery is likely to help.

Preparing for surgery

In the weeks before surgery, stop smoking and nicotine products, as they slow healing. Tell the team about all medicines and supplements, as some may need to be paused on medical advice. Stock up on loose cotton underwear, soft pads, a gentle unperfumed wash and simple pain relief. Plan at least a few days at home with commitments cleared, and arrange childcare if needed. If you have a general anaesthetic, you will be given fasting instructions. Having everything ready means you can rest properly once you are home, which helps recovery.

Many patients from Wilmslow and Alderley Edge find it helpful to arrange a lift to and from surgery with a friend or family member, and to have someone at home for the first evening.
