What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty, also known as labia minora reduction or labial trim surgery, is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the labia minora, the inner lips of the vulva. It is one of the most commonly requested female genital cosmetic surgery procedures in the UK.
This treatment is chosen by women experiencing discomfort, friction, or confidence issues due to long or excess labia minora tissue, asymmetrical folds, or changes after childbirth. Because this procedure is usually not available in the NHS, many seek private labiaplasty in the UK.
Labiaplasty offers a long-lasting solution to both physical and emotional concerns. Mr Kuen Yeow Chin is a highly experienced labiaplasty surgeon in London, with additional clinics in Berkshire and Surrey, known for his sensitive approach and attention to detail.

Type of Labiaplasty Surgery Offered
Two surgical techniques are commonly used, depending on the shape of your labia and your desired outcome:
Trim Technique
Excess labial tissue is removed along the edge
Creates a neater, smoother edge
Suitable for patients with hyperpigmented or uneven outer edges
Wedge Technique
A wedge of tissue is removed from the central labia
Maintains natural edge and pigmentation

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic or general anaesthetic, depending on your preference. Dissolvable stitches are used, and no garment is required. Most women go home on the same day.
