What is nymphoblasty?
Nymphoplasty, often called labioplasty (or labiaplasty), is a surgical procedure dedicated to the correction and enhancement of the vaginal labia, both labia minora and labia majora. Beyond the aesthetic aspect, this intimate cosmetic surgery can meet functional needs and significantly improve quality of life for many women.
Over time, with hormonal variations, childbirth or simply genetics, some women may experience discomfort with the size or shape of their labia.
What are the most common indications?
Overdeveloped labia minora (hypertrophic labia), whose size is excessive compared to that of the labia majora, causing daily physical or aesthetic discomfort. The term hypertrophy is used when the size of the labia minora exceeds 4 cm. However, the notion of discomfort is a personal one, and labia minora can be bothersome with a size of less than 4 cm.

How much does nymphoplasty cost?

It is advisable to consult a specialist to obtain a precise estimate that takes into account the costs associated with the operation, such as pre-operative consultations, anesthesia and post-operative follow-up.

The result
The result is immediately visible, but the final appearance can be appreciated after three months, the time it takes for edema to disappear and the labia minora to regain their suppleness and finesse. Scars, though present, are discreet and fade naturally over time.
The benefits of nymphoplasty are both aesthetic and functional, offering women new freedom and renewed confidence in their intimacy.
