Our methods for labia reduction
We use minimally invasive surgical techniques to promote good wound healing in the mucosa and ensure that any scarring is discreet. During your consultation, the surgeon will assess which method is physiologically best suited to your anatomy.
Wedge technique (Wedge cut)
A tried-and-tested method in which a wedge-shaped piece of tissue is removed from the central part of the labia minora. This ensures that the natural outer edge and pigmentation are preserved.
Direct edge resection (Trim technique)
This involves removing excess tissue directly along the free edge of the labia minora. The method is suitable when the entire edge needs to be reshaped or if the pigmentation is uneven.
Plastic on the outer labia
If the outer labia have lost volume or become saggy, excess skin can be removed surgically. Alternatively, volume can be restored through fat grafting using the patient’s own fat.
Combined procedures
A labia reduction can, if necessary, be combined with a clitoral lift (exposure of the skin fold covering the clitoris), labia minora reduction or liposuction of the mons pubis.

Consultation before your operation
The first step is a consultation with a plastic surgery specialist. You choose whether you want to book an online appointment or meet us in person at the clinic. During the appointment, you will be given medical information about risks, current waiting times and which techniques are best for you.
You will receive a personalised treatment plan tailored to your body. Following your consultation, our coordinator will provide you with detailed information on pre-operative preparations and post-operative care. If you wish, the coordinator can help you arrange a suitable date for your operation.
Labia minora reduction
Step by step
To ensure you feel confident and well prepared, we follow a structured and secure process from your first visit right through to the final assessment.
Consultation
You will meet a plastic surgery specialist who will listen to your wishes and examine your anatomy. The surgeon will explain the various incision techniques and assess which is physiologically appropriate for you.
Before your procedure
Once your reflection period is over, our coordinator will contact you. You will be given written instructions stating that you must refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol for four weeks before and after the operation. You should maintain thorough personal hygiene at home.
The day of the operation
At the clinic, you will get changed and meet your surgeon and anaesthetist. The procedure is carried out under general or local anaesthetic and takes about an hour. The surgeon gently removes the excess skin and stitches the incision with dissolvable sutures.
After the operation
Afterwards, you will rest in our recovery ward. It is perfectly normal to experience swelling, tightness, a burning sensation and localised tenderness in the lower abdomen during the first few days. You will be prescribed pain relief tailored to your needs.
Recovery & healing
You will need to rest at home. After using the toilet, gently rinse the area with lukewarm water and pat it dry. You will need to avoid sexual activity, exercise, swimming and saunas for at least six weeks.
Monitoring & results
After about one to two weeks, you will see a nurse for a check-up to monitor the healing process. After about six months, we will book a follow-up appointment with your surgeon for a final check-up and assessment.
Our specialists in intimate surgery
All intimate surgery at The Faculty is performed by registered doctors with specialist qualifications in plastic surgery. Our surgeons have extensive clinical experience of plastic surgery in sensitive tissue areas. They regularly participate in international forums to ensure the highest medical standards and safety.
Who is eligible for labia reduction surgery?
To undergo labia reduction surgery, you must be aged 18 or over and in good general health. The procedure is suitable for women who experience functional discomfort or asymmetry in the genital area. During the consultation, a thorough medical assessment of your tissues will be carried out. Any ongoing skin infections in the area, unhealed birth-related injuries or active medical conditions may constitute medical contraindications. Prior to the operation, you must also refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol for four weeks to ensure good healing of the mucous membranes.

For your peace of mind, you are covered by comprehensive patient insurance as well as an extended warranty period during the healing process. For those who wish, we also offer financial guidance regarding installment options—as a flexible choice entirely separate from the medical assessment.
Frequently asked questions about labia reduction
Here we have compiled some frequently asked questions about labia reduction
Does it hurt after labia reduction surgery?
It is normal to experience some burning and tenderness in the first few days following your labiaplasty. Your surgeon will prescribe painkillers to manage this and make your initial recovery easier.
How is a fat transfer to the outer labia performed?
The procedure involves the surgeon gently extracting a small amount of fat from another area of your body (often the abdomen or the backs of the knees). The fat is purified and then injected with high precision into the outer labia to restore natural volume and softness.
How much does labia reduction surgery cost at The Faculty?
The price for labiaplasty starts at 37,500 SEK. You will receive a precise written quote following your clinical assessment during the consultation.
How are the scars from labiaplasty concealed?
The incisions are made in the natural folds and edges of the labia. As blood circulation in the genital area is good, the mucous membranes and skin heal quickly, making the scars virtually invisible once the healing process is complete.
When can you resume sexual activity and exercise?
You will need to avoid sexual activity, saunas, bathing and strenuous physical exercise for at least six weeks to allow the tissues to heal completely without tearing.
What are the signs of infection after the surgery?
You should watch out for localised redness that spreads, increasing swelling, foul-smelling discharge, a fever or a sudden increase in pain. Contact the clinic immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.
