Labiaplasty and Vaginoplasty

At Sydney Plastic Surgery, we understand that decisions regarding labiaplasty and vaginoplasty are profoundly personal and individual. Our goal is to provide you with comprehensive information and compassionate care, helping you make informed decisions about your body.

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing and reshaping the labia minora for comfort and aesthetic preferences. Vaginoplasty is the surgical tightening of the vaginal canal, often sought after childbirth or due to aging, to enhance muscle tone and control. We also offer Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation, a non-surgical option that utilises laser technology to stimulate collagen production, thereby improving vaginal elasticity and moisture.

To find out if surgery is right for you, book a consultation with Dr Laith Barnouti MBBS, FRACS (Plas) at one of our three Sydney clinics.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

Medical History Review: Discussion of your health background and any previous surgeries.
Physical Examination: Assessment of the genital area to determine suitability for the desired procedure.
Discussion of Goals: Open conversation about your expectations and desired outcomes.
Customized Treatment Plan: Development of a surgical plan tailored to your individual needs.

What Happens During Surgery

Both labiaplasty and vaginoplasty are typically performed as day procedures at our Sydney clinic, under either local or general anaesthetic, depending on the individual case.

For labiaplasty, excess tissue is carefully removed from the labia minora—often using a wedge or trim technique—to reshape and reduce the labia so they no longer extend beyond the outer lips. The area is then sutured for a natural contour.

For vaginoplasty, the muscles and tissues of the vaginal canal are tightened by removing excess vaginal lining and bringing the muscles closer together. This is commonly performed to restore tone after childbirth or ageing.

In both procedures, dissolvable stitches are used to support healing and minimise the need for suture removal in sensitive areas.

Will Medicare or Private Health Insurance Cover the Surgery?2025-06-11T11:37:18+10:00

In most cases, vaginal surgery is considered cosmetic and not covered by Medicare or private insurance. However, some medically indicated cases may be eligible. We recommend checking with your insurer and discussing this with your surgeon.

Will it Affect Sensation or Sexual Function?2025-06-11T13:03:07+10:00

Some temporary changes in sensation may occur during the healing process. Most patients do not report long-term changes; however, this varies among individuals.

Will there be Visible Scarring?2025-06-11T11:35:41+10:00

Scars are generally minimal and well-concealed within the natural contours of the anatomy. Over time, they tend to fade significantly.

Are there Non-Surgical Alternatives?2025-06-11T11:34:58+10:00

Non-surgical treatments such as laser vaginal tightening may be available for specific concerns. These are generally less invasive but may offer more subtle results.

Are the Results Permanent?2025-06-11T11:40:14+10:00

The results of both labiaplasty and vaginoplasty are long-lasting. However, factors such as ageing, hormonal changes, or future childbirth can influence long-term outcomes.

Will I Need to Take Time Off Work?2025-06-11T11:40:34+10:00

Yes, you may need to take a few days off work to allow for initial swelling and discomfort to settle. This will vary depending on the procedure and your job.

What is the Expected Recovery Time?2025-06-11T11:40:50+10:00

Most patients can return to light daily activities within a few days. Full recovery usually takes 4 to 6 weeks. During this time, it is recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and sexual activity.

How Long does the Surgery Take?2025-06-11T11:41:05+10:00

Labiaplasty generally takes about 1 to 2 hours. Vaginoplasty may take slightly longer, depending on the surgical plan.

Am I a Suitable Candidate for Vaginal Surgery?2025-06-11T11:41:22+10:00

Suitability depends on your anatomy, health history, and personal concerns. An in-person consultation is required to assess your needs and determine if surgery is appropriate.

Can I Get a Payment Plan for Cosmetic Plastic Surgery?2025-06-25T10:30:25+10:00

Sydney Plastic Surgery does not promote or advertise payment plans, in line with AHPRA’s Guidelines for Advertising Regulated Health Services.

However, patients seeking elective procedures such as breast augmentation or implants may explore personal financing options independently. Some individuals choose to fund their surgery through medical financing services or personal loans. While third-party cosmetic surgery finance providers are available online, we are not affiliated with, nor do we endorse, any specific provider, and we are unable to assist with applications.

Please note that Medicare and/or private health insurance may cover a portion of your procedure if the eligibility criteria are met.
