Intimate surgery · Discreet consultation
Chafing during exercise, discomfort in tight clothing or a wish to change your intimate area deserve a calm conversation. The shape and size of the labia vary widely; visible inner labia do not necessarily indicate a medical condition. I will discuss your symptoms with you and assess whether surgery could offer a meaningful benefit.
The examination findings and extent of treatment determine your individual treatment journey.
Treatment at a glance
Key information about labiaplasty. Together, we will clarify what applies to you based on the examination findings.
The incision pattern and extent of surgery are guided by your anatomy and treatment goal.
Fat harvesting and graft survival need to be considered separately.
Combined procedures and more complex cases may take longer.
Your individual approach will be agreed in advance.
Returning to work and sitting depend on your symptoms and how the wound is healing.
A break of around six weeks is often needed; the follow-up examination determines when you can resume.
The indication, your physical circumstances and your own freely made wish for change are what matter.
Individual, according to the procedure and its extent
Times are a guide. An individual examination will clarify what applies to you.
Understanding what changes
Labial reduction involves removing selected tissue from the inner labia and carefully closing the wound. The aim is a correction that suits your anatomy while preserving protective function and sensation. Achieving a particular standard size is not a medical treatment goal.
We discuss your reasons without judgement.
I consider protective function, sensitivity and incision placement.
We agree on follow-up checks and a gradual return to activity in advance.
Before surgery, I establish whether pain, chafing or recurring irritation is actually related to the tissue. Skin conditions, infections or other gynaecological causes require their own treatment. A wish to change the appearance is discussed separately.
In suitable cases, your own fat can be used to enhance the volume of the outer labia. It is harvested from an area such as the abdomen or thighs, processed and transferred. Some of it may be reabsorbed. Combining this with a reduction is a separate decision, not a standard package.
A personal goal, not a standard appearance Where the examination findings are suitable, a correction may address symptoms or a personal wish for change. It does not guarantee freedom from pain, greater sexual sensation or satisfaction. Some asymmetry may remain, and scars may be visible or palpable.
The outer labia do not need to cover the inner labia completely. What matters is your individual situation, any symptoms and an informed decision. Natural variation is not, in itself, a reason for surgery.
Please do not stop taking blood thinners or other medication on your own. We will also agree on hair removal and care before the procedure to avoid unnecessary skin irritation.
Is this right for me?
Your clinical findings, health and desired outcome need to be compatible.
Persistent discomfort caused by friction or pressure, following appropriate assessment
An acute infection, unexplained pain or a skin condition requiring treatment
Different causes need different solutions. Sometimes, choosing not to have a procedure is the right decision.

Find out moreYour treatment journey
You describe your concern; an examination takes place after I have explained it and with your consent.
Together, we agree on the extent of treatment, anaesthesia and aftercare, and also discuss the option of not having surgery.
Follow-up checks determine when it is appropriate to resume physical activity, exercise and sexual activity.
Before you are discharged, we will agree on a direct contact route for aftercare. General enquiries: team@dottore.caletti.de.
Your return to everyday life
Swelling and tenderness are possible. Loose clothing and the agreed wound care may help; avoid prolonged physical exertion at first.
Prolonged sitting, physical work and exercise can place different demands on the area. A definite return after just a few days cannot be promised.
Only resume sexual intercourse, cycling, swimming and strenuous exercise once healing is sufficient and you have been given the go-ahead. Scars continue to mature for longer.
These timeframes are a guide, not a firm promise. Your individual recovery may differ.
Talking openly about risks
Both potential benefits and risks need to inform your decision. The following points supplement the individual discussion of your treatment and its risks.
Rapidly increasing swelling, severe pain, fever or unusual wound discharge require immediate advice via the agreed aftercare contact. If you experience shortness of breath, chest pain or circulatory problems, call 112.
Understand the costs and decide in your own time
Reduction, fat transfer for volume enhancement and a combined procedure are each priced separately. Following an examination, you will receive a personal cost plan.

A website can offer guidance. We will discuss your personal situation during a medical consultation.
Ask your questionNo. Shape, colour and size vary widely. Visible inner labia are often a normal anatomical variation and are not, on their own, a medical reason for surgery.
The procedures can be combined where there is an appropriate indication. However, this makes the treatment more extensive, and each individual goal needs to be justified. A single procedure, or choosing not to have surgery, may also be appropriate.
This depends on wound healing and the level of physical strain involved. A break of around six weeks is often advisable. An individual follow-up examination is essential; pain or open wounds are reasons not to resume too soon.
Both temporary and lasting changes in sensation are possible. Improved sexual sensation cannot be guaranteed. This risk must be explicitly discussed during the consultation.
No. Some of it is reabsorbed, and how much survives varies from person to person. Further treatment may be needed, but this is only planned once progress has been adequately assessed.
A purely aesthetic correction is usually self-funded. Where there are medical symptoms, reimbursement may be considered; obtain written confirmation of any approval before the procedure.
Reduction, fat transfer for volume enhancement and a combined procedure are each priced separately. Following an examination, you will receive a personal cost plan. Pricing is based on the individual procedure and its extent. You will receive a clear cost plan before making your decision.
