We understand that surgery can be a cause of anxiety – even if it’s a relatively straightforward procedure like this one. That’s why our experienced and caring medical staff will be there for you every step of the way.

The operation usually takes one to two hours and you won’t feel anything. Depending on the extent of the surgery you may be put under a general anaesthetic, which means you’ll be asleep throughout, though most procedures are performed with a local anaesthetic.

The surgeon will cut away the unwanted tissue with a scalpel or laser and the loose edges left behind will be sealed with dissolvable stitches. Any cuts will be carefully placed to avoid painful scarring along the rim of the labia.
