A labia correction is a commonly performed procedure within Kliniek het Bolwerk. This procedure involves reducing the length of the labia minora (the inner labia).
It is the most commonly performed vaginal rejuvenation surgery worldwide. A correction of the labia can be considered for several reasons. For example, because you do not like the labia aesthetically (size or shape) but also if there is physical discomfort.
Thus, it can relieve symptoms women experience such as “twisting and pulling” of the labia, itching and irritation. It is also common for them to cause complaints in sexual life. Sometimes a labia correction is performed to correct the anatomically incorrect position of the labia after childbirth.
A labia correction is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. An anesthetic ointment is applied first, followed by final punctures that provide anesthesia. Recovery after the procedure is quick.

It may be desirable to perform this procedure because one does not like the labia. They may also be too large due to predisposition or changed after pregnancy and childbirth.
Common complaints include discomfort when cycling and playing sports or wearing tight clothing, for example. Furthermore, it is common to have complaints in sexual life. Shape changes can also occur after childbirth.
The purpose of the procedure is to shrink the labia minora so that they no longer protrude below the labia majora. This procedure can be performed to reduce asymmetry if one labia is longer than the other.
It is also common to reduce the length of both labia. This prevents the labia from twisting, pulling or being visible in clothing.
If you think that something is not going well (for example, fever, feeling sick, redness of the wound area or sudden swelling) or you are worried about something, please contact Kliniek het Bolwerk immediately.
This can be done by mail or telephone, as indicated in the postoperative instructions you receive by mail.

This surgery is not performed if there are obvious health risks that could lead to the occurrence of complications. This can happen if you take certain medications, such as blood thinners or drugs that affect wound healing.
A labia correction should not be confused with female circumcision. This is a procedure that is not performed at Kliniek het Bolwerk.
As with any surgery, there is a risk of bleeding after a labia correction. Infections are rare.
The risk of these complications is very small. But if any of these problems occur, it will of course be treated appropriately.

Correction of the labia under local anesthesia
Only an initial consultation that does not lead to treatment.
A labia correction may be considered for functional complaints or insecurity about appearance. A consultation with the doctor will determine if a correction is appropriate.
Factors such as medical history, exact symptoms and desired outcome are discussed. Possible alternatives and risks are also discussed.
If the procedure can lead to improved well-being, it takes place under local anesthesia. Recovery takes several weeks. Our plastic surgeon can be contacted with any questions regarding the procedure. His expert judgment is focused on providing a careful approach.
The specific situation and wishes of the client are always considered. Together with the physician, the most appropriate approach can thus be determined.
After surgery, it is important to keep the wound area clean. Clean the area with lukewarm water after each bowel movement to prevent infection.
Showering or taking a bath is also allowed and helps keep the area clean. Be careful when washing and avoid using harsh soaps or products that can irritate the wound.
After washing, gently dry the area with a clean towel or allow it to air dry. Always follow your doctor’s instructions for the best aftercare.
In general, the plastic surgeon advises against sexual contact during the first 2-3 weeks after a labia correction.
This does not interfere with the healing process. Healing will be smoother this way.
During recovery, consult with the surgeon when you feel sufficiently recovered. Usually, gentle sexual activity is possible again after 2-3 weeks, provided you do not experience discomfort.
The individual situation is decisive. When in doubt, contact the plastic surgeon to discuss the situation. A good recovery is paramount.
It varies by insurance whether the cost of a labia correction is covered. It is therefore advisable to check with your insurer in advance.
Some insurers reimburse all or part of the cost if there is a medical necessity, such as the pain symptoms. They assess this on a case-by-case basis. There is often no reimbursement for purely cosmetic desires.
Contact your insurer to find out if and to what extent they will reimburse the costs in your situation. This way you know in advance where you stand in terms of reimbursement and avoid uncertainty afterwards. It is wise to arrange this in advance.
