Looking for vaginal rejuvenation procedures in Bangkok? Labiaplasty is one of the treatments associated with this and can be performed on its own or in combination with other procedures for either aesthetic or medical purposes. 

The surgery reduces the lips of skin (the labia majora and the labia minora) that surround the vagina. Surgery can be performed on either the labia majora or the labia minora, or both.

There may be medical or aesthetic reasons why labiaplasty may be performed, as the labia can sometimes become enlarged, especially after childbirth, causing discomfort, embarrassment or hygiene issues.

Even though it is completely normal for the labia to vary in appearance from person to person, some women feel they should look a certain way and opt to have labiaplasty purely for aesthetic reasons.

The procedure is often carried out with vaginoplasty and/or a hymenoplasty as part of a vaginal rejuvenation procedure, or with a clitoropexy (clitoral hood reduction).

Bangkok’s medical facilities are generally excellent. You’ll find modern hospitals and clinics, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, attentive, polite and efficient staff and patient areas to be comfortable and more like hotel rooms than a hospital. The Thais seem to think of everything to make sure you are as relaxed and at ease as you can be.

Labiaplasty has relatively little downtime and you should be able to walk around after a few days with little discomfort. Perhaps then is the time to top up your tan poolside, recuperating from your treatment at one of Bangkok’s fabulous hotels.

Labia reduction, also called labiaplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves modifying the labia minora (inner lips) or labia majora (outer lips) of the female genitalia. The procedure can be performed under either local or general anesthesia, depending on the preference of the patient and the surgeon.

During the surgery, the unwanted or excess tissue is removed from the labia, either by cutting it away with a scalpel or with a laser. The remaining structure is then stitched with fine dissolvable stitches.

The duration of the procedure usually takes between one to two hours. After the surgery, the patient may experience initial numbness and will probably feel some pain once the anesthetic has worn off. Discoloration may also be noticeable for a couple of weeks.

It is important to note that labia reduction is a personal decision and should only be undertaken after careful consideration and consultation with a qualified surgeon. The procedure can offer significant benefits for women who experience discomfort or self-consciousness due to enlarged or asymmetrical labia.

You will probably be allowed to go home on the same day as your procedure–make sure you arrange for someone to drive you and to help you at home for a day or two. Do note the following considerations with regard to your recovery over the next few weeks and months:

• Walking around as soon as you can as this helps to reduce swelling and lowers the chance of blood clots.
• You may shower 48 hours after surgery. Ensure you keep incisions clean and dry, and wear feminine pads to absorb drainage – some oozing is expected.
• Do not soak in the bath until the stitches have dissolved.
• You should be able to go back to work and resume normal social activities after a week or two.
• Avoid any heavy lifting for a week and no sex or swimming for six weeks.

Compared to Australia you can save several thousand dollars, as labiaplasty in Bangkok is around AUD $1,500, rather than AUD $5,000 in Australia.
