Labia reduction Frankfurt

If you would like a labiaplasty, we would be happy to invite you to a consultation at our practice in Frankfurt. Here, Dr. Nichlos will welcome you for a personal consultation and talk to you about your reasons and wishes. It is particularly important to the specialist in aesthetic and plastic surgery to find out what problems your labia are causing you.

Following a physical examination, Dr. Nichlos will present you with possible treatment methods for labiaplasty that will best meet your expectations or alleviate your symptoms. The specialist will then explain the procedure to you and what you should pay attention to before and after. He will also inform you about the possible risks associated with a procedure such as labiaplasty. Dr. Nichlos will also answer any questions you may have about the cost of treatment.

If you decide to undergo labiaplasty, we will arrange an appointment for you to come to the Berger Clinic in Frankfurt. Here, Dr. Nichlos uses modern operating theatres to guarantee you the highest possible quality of treatment.

Do you have any questions of your own or is there something on your mind that you feel uncomfortable about? You can be completely open during your consultation. Dr. Nichlos puts discretion first, especially in a sensitive area such as intimate surgery.

Dr. Nichlos performs the routine procedure on an outpatient or short inpatient basis (with an overnight stay in the clinic) and either under local anaesthetic or twilight sleep/general anaesthetic. You should allow about one hour for the operation itself.

After induction of anaesthesia and careful disinfection of the surgical area, the surgeon begins to remove the excess tissue from the labia with precise incisions. If desired, he can also perform a clitoral hood lift and/or move the clitoris a little further down for a harmonious overall appearance.

Finally, Dr. Nichlos stops the bleeding and sutures the wounds with self-dissolving stitches so that they do not need to be removed later. If the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, you can leave the clinic immediately afterwards. Please have someone else accompany you and drive you if necessary, as your ability to drive may be impaired by the anesthesia.

Take sufficient time to recover after labiaplasty so as not to impair the healing process. You can shower the very next day, but you should not use soap or shower gel in the genital area, only tap water. Sitz baths are also recommended. You can do this twice a day for three to five minutes each time for the first few days, preferably with a lukewarm camomile solution.

To support healing, you can apply a wound ointment to the affected areas. During this time, please wear sanitary towels, loose-fitting underwear and loose-fitting clothing that does not irritate your genital area. Refrain from sexual intercourse and sport, especially horse riding and cycling, for the following 6 weeks.

In order to monitor wound healing, a follow-up check is usually carried out in our practice in Frankfurt after two weeks and, if necessary, in the following months. We will discuss the details of the follow-up appointments with you on the day of the operation.

Labia reduction is considered a comparatively minor procedure in intimate surgery that is associated with few risks. General surgical risks such as post-operative bleeding, wound healing disorders or infections are rare if the procedure is carried out professionally under the strictest hygiene standards.

Following the operation, however, some patients may experience temporary slight swelling, redness, pain or loss of sensation, which will subside during the healing process. You can support this process by carefully cooling the area. Please also note our further information on aftercare.

In very rare cases, labiaplasty can also lead to permanent loss of sensation or sensitivity. However, this risk can be significantly reduced by choosing a qualified surgeon such as Dr. Nichlos, who, as a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery, has years of experience in intimate surgery.
