Labia minora surgery
Reduction labioplasty or nymphoplasty consists in reducing the size of labia minora deemed too large.
Excess labia minora can be considered unsightly by some, and can even cause functional discomfort in daily life (sporting activities, sexual relations...).
The procedure then consists of resecting the excess skin. The scar can be longitudinal (longitudinal technique) or transverse ("wedge resection"), depending on the morphology of each patient.
Nymphoplasty is performed on an outpatient basis (admission to the clinic in the morning, discharge the same day) under local or general anaesthetic, depending on the patient's preference. Sutures are absorbable and disappear on their own within 3 weeks.
After nymphoplasty, showers can be resumed the following day. Bathing should be avoided for around 3 weeks. Wearing tight-fitting clothing is not recommended, and sexual intercourse should be avoided for around 3 to 4 weeks.
In the case of excess skin on the clitoral hood, a clitoridoplasty may be associated.
Reconstruction of the hymen
Hymenoplasty or hymen reconstruction is a procedure designed to restore the integrity of the hymen and return it to its original anatomy.
Whatever the reason for the reconstruction, it is possible at any age and regardless of the number of previous sexual encounters. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, under local
anesthesia, depending on the patient's wishes.
