Labiaplasty
Refine intimate comfort and restore natural confidence with labiaplasty at Cranley Clinic, performed discreetly by world-class surgeons in a serene, professional setting.
Labiaplasty Overview
Labiaplasty is a minor surgical procedure designed to reshape or reduce the labia minora – the delicate inner folds surrounding the vaginal opening. For some, enlarged or uneven labia can cause discomfort during exercise, intimacy or daily movement. For others, the motivation is aesthetic confidence.
At Cranley Clinic, labiaplasty is performed in a calm, private setting, with utmost discretion and care. We tailor every procedure to your individual anatomy, aiming for results that feel physically comfortable and emotionally empowering.

The Cranley Clinic Process
Consultation & Planning
Your consultation is held privately over video with a senior GMC-registered doctor who specialises in intimate procedures. We understand this is a personal and sensitive decision. We take great care to create a calm, respectful environment where you feel safe, heard, and supported. Every aspect of the procedure will be explained in detail, with space to ask questions at your own pace and comfort level.
Pre-Operative Preparation
You’ll receive clear instructions on hygiene, medications, and self-care before surgery. Everything is arranged in advance to ensure the day runs smoothly and privately.
The Procedure
Labiaplasty is performed at Cranley Clinic under local anaesthetic. The surgeon gently reshapes the labia minora using refined techniques that minimise trauma and preserve natural sensation. No general anaesthetic is required, and you can return home the same day.
Aftercare
We provide discreet dressings, soothing guidance, and direct contact details for any questions. Most swelling and discomfort settle within a few days. Follow-ups are always handled with sensitivity.
Recovery Timeline
You’ll likely feel comfortable at home within 1-2 days. Light activities resume in 3-5 days. Healing is typically complete within 2-4 weeks, with results appearing natural and harmonious.
Clinical Insight
Labiaplasty Considerations, Clinically Addressed
Is a labiaplasty painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any pain during surgery. Mild swelling or tenderness is common in the first few days, but most patients describe the recovery as very manageable and discreet.
Will I lose sensitivity after labiaplasty?
No. We use advanced, nerve-sparing techniques that preserve natural sensation. Once healed, the area feels normal. For many patients, improved comfort and confidence leads to a better quality of life.
Will anyone be able to tell I’ve had surgery?
No. Once healed, the area looks entirely natural. There are no visible scars, and no one would know unless you choose to tell them.
How long is recovery after labiaplasty?
Most patients return to light activities within a few days. Full healing takes four to six weeks. During this time, you should avoid strenuous exercise and sexual activity. We provide detailed aftercare guidance to support you throughout.
Why do people choose labiaplasty?
Some people experience physical discomfort from enlarged or asymmetrical labia, especially during movement or when wearing fitted clothing. Others feel self-conscious in intimate situations. Labiaplasty offers a personalised, long-term solution.
Do I need to be examined during the consultation?
No intimate examination is required during your video consultation. If you decide to proceed, your doctor will explain what to expect at every stage. Your comfort, privacy, and dignity are our priority.
Is it normal to feel nervous or embarrassed?
Yes. Many patients feel anxious about discussing this topic, and that is completely understandable. Your consultation is with a doctor who specialises in intimate procedures and creates a calm, respectful, and non-judgemental environment.
Will I need time off work?
We usually recommend taking two to five days off, depending on your job. If your role is sedentary, you may return sooner. We will provide personalised guidance.
Are there any risks to consider?
As with all surgical procedures, there are potential risks such as infection, bruising, or dissatisfaction with the cosmetic outcome. However, when performed by highly experienced specialists in a regulated clinical environment, these risks are significantly reduced. At Cranley Clinic, labiaplasty is carried out by leading surgeons using advanced, precise techniques. Every detail, from consultation to aftercare, is designed to ensure your safety, comfort, and results of the highest standard.
