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

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.
