I cried when I stood in front of the mirror after the operation (tummy tuck and arms). I cannot believe the results and I could not be more grateful. His team and care have been fantastic.

COMFORT. PRIVACY. CARE.
A private surgical procedure to reduce or reshape the labia minora, for physical discomfort, asymmetry or self-consciousness.
ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Women with enlarged or asymmetrical labia may experience physical discomfort and self-consciousness that affects their daily lives, from chafing and irritation during exercise to a lack of confidence in intimate situations. Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to reduce or reshape the labia minora, aimed at easing these problems.
The procedure removes or reshapes excess tissue to give a more symmetrical shape. It is performed under local anaesthesia or IV sedation as a day case, so you go home the same day.
Labiaplasty is one of the more personal procedures Prof. Hindocha performs, and it is handled throughout with complete sensitivity and discretion. Every consultation is a confidential, judgement-free conversation where patients are encouraged to discuss their concerns openly and entirely at their own pace.
COSMETIC OR FUNCTIONAL?
Labiaplasty is sought for many different reasons, and all of them are valid. Some women are primarily motivated by physical discomfort: chafing during exercise, irritation from clothing, or pain during everyday activity. Others are seeking a cosmetic change that has long affected their confidence. Many are motivated by both.
There is no single ‘right’ reason to pursue labiaplasty, and Prof. Hindocha approaches every consultation without judgement. What matters is understanding your concerns fully and being honest with you about what the procedure can and cannot achieve.

RECOVERY TIMELINE
Days 1–2
Most patients are comfortable returning to light, desk-based work within one to two days. Keep the area clean, wear loose clothing, and avoid any pressure or friction on the treated site.
Week 1
Your first post-operative appointment takes place within the first week. Prof. Hindocha will assess healing and answer any questions. Avoid baths, swimming, and tampons during this period.
Weeks 1–2
Light exercise such as walking can resume from week one. Avoid strenuous activity, cycling, or anything that places pressure on the area until cleared at your follow-up appointment.
Weeks 2–4
Most patients are fully recovered by two to four weeks. Prof. Hindocha will confirm when all activities, including the gym and intimacy, can safely resume based on your individual healing.
WHAT IT AIMS TO DO
Labiaplasty aims to ease physical discomfort and to change the size or shape of the labia minora. Results vary from person to person, and Prof. Hindocha explains what is realistic for you at consultation.
A COMMON CONCERN
This is a common concern, and an understandable one.
The procedure removes or reshapes excess tissue of the labia minora, and Prof. Hindocha plans the approach around your anatomy. As with any surgery there are risks, and he explains them, including any effect on sensation, before you decide.
He is happy to discuss this openly and in detail at your consultation.
WHY CHOOSE US
Every aspect of your care, from your first enquiry to your final follow-up, is handled with complete privacy, sensitivity, and respect.
Prof. Hindocha understands that labiaplasty addresses both physical and personal concerns. The surgical approach is planned around your anatomy and goals, not a standard template.
Labiaplasty is performed under local anaesthesia or IV sedation as a day case, so you go home the same day. Most patients return to light desk work within a few days.
The aim is always a natural result that is proportionate and comfortable, not an over-correction. Prof. Hindocha takes time at consultation to understand exactly what you are hoping to achieve.
RECOVERY MILESTONES
A practical guide to the recovery milestones most relevant to patients considering labiaplasty.
WEEKS 1–2
Avoid baths, swimming, tampons, and tight-fitting clothing. Sexual activity should not take place during this period. Focus on gentle hygiene and following all wound care instructions carefully.
WEEKS 2–4
Sexual activity and strenuous exercise should still be avoided. Swelling and sensitivity will continue to reduce during this period. Most patients feel largely comfortable by the end of week three or four.
WEEKS 4–6
Most patients are cleared to resume intimate activity and all physical exercise by six weeks. Prof. Hindocha will confirm the right timing for you individually at your follow-up appointment.
IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Labiaplasty is suitable for women who are experiencing physical discomfort or self-consciousness related to the appearance or size of their labia minora, and for whom non-surgical approaches have not provided adequate relief.

From my first meeting with Professor Hindocha, I knew I was in safe hands. After a failed thigh lift abroad, he was honest about revision limits—but he's exceeded my hopes. Just 4 weeks post-op, neat scars & new confidence. Truly a miracle worker!

Amazing experience and surgeon. So incredibly thorough, precise and professional. Went above and beyond to explain every last detail to me, he put me at ease, didn't mind a family member being there, very down to earth, can't praise him enough. Would only use this surgeon now.
