Labiaplasty in Pune & PCMC
Table of Contents
Many women notice discomfort when the inner labia are larger or uneven. The skin may pull during exercise, rub against clothing, or feel sensitive during intimacy. Some women also feel self-conscious about how the area looks and want it to feel more balanced and comfortable.
Labiaplasty is a small procedure that reduces and reshapes the labia minora, the inner folds near the vaginal opening. The goal is comfort first. By removing extra tissue and smoothing the edges, the area feels easier to move with, easier to clean, and less irritated.
This is not about chasing a trend. For many women, it is about easing daily discomfort, improving confidence, and feeling at ease in their own bodies again.
What is the Labia Minora?
The labia minora are the soft inner skin folds that sit just inside the vaginal opening. Every woman’s labia look different. Some are small and tucked in.
Some are longer and naturally extend outward. One side may be bigger than the other. The skin can be thin, full, smooth, or folded. These differences are completely normal and part of natural anatomy.
But when the labia cause discomfort or affect confidence, labiaplasty can help.
What Labiaplasty Does
Labiaplasty reduces the length, thickness, or unevenness of the labia minora.
It removes excess tissue and reshapes the inner folds so they sit comfortably within the outer labia.
It does not change your vagina.
It does not affect fertility, sensation, or your ability to have sex.
It only reshapes the part that is causing trouble.
Why Some Women Choose Labiaplasty
Women usually consider this procedure for reasons like:
- Rubbing or pain during cycling, running, or workouts
- Discomfort while wearing underwear or tight pants
- Feeling self-conscious during intimacy
- Difficulty with hygiene due to excess folds
- Repeated infections or irritation
- Uneven appearance after childbirth
- Personal preference for a smoother, neater look
The decision is personal. Your reasons are valid.
When Labiaplasty May Be Helpful
You may benefit if you have:
- Labia that pull, pinch, or rub during daily movement
- Labia that feel too large or uneven
- Discomfort during sex
- Labia that changed after childbirth
- Recurrent irritation or fungal infections in skin folds
Dr. Salil first checks if simple skincare changes are enough.
If not, labiaplasty can offer long-term comfort.
How the Procedure Is Done
Labiaplasty usually takes 45 to 60 minutes.
- Numbing keeps you comfortable during the procedure.
- Excess tissue is trimmed with precision.
- The area is shaped to match your natural anatomy.
- Dissolvable stitches are used to close the skin.
There is no external scar when the area heals well.
You go home the same day.
What Labiaplasty Cannot Do
- It cannot make the area completely “child-like.”
- It cannot change the natural colour of the skin.
- It does not fix pelvic muscle weakness or vaginal looseness.
Realistic expectations keep you satisfied with the outcome.
Recovery and Healing
Recovery is usually manageable.
You may notice:
- Mild swelling
- Soreness or tightness
- Slight bruising
These improve over 1 to 2 weeks.
Avoid for 4 to 6 weeks:
- Sexual activity
- Heavy exercise
- Swimming
- Cycling
- Wearing tight clothing
Ice packs, loose cotton clothing, and simple care help the area heal smoothly.
Dr. Salil provides a precise and easy-to-follow aftercare plan.

Swelling
Mild bleeding
Small areas of numbness
Rare infection
Most issues settle on their own with proper care.

Will the area look natural?
Yes. The aim is a balanced, natural shape that suits your body.
Is the procedure painful?
Numbing keeps you comfortable. Most women report only mild soreness later.

No. Once healed, it looks natural and blends with your normal anatomy.
Can labiaplasty help with repeated infections?
