About this service
Labial reduction surgery, or labiaplasty, is surgical reduction of enlarged labial tissue, and it is available in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic. Enlarged labia can cause physical discomfort during exercise, sitting, or intercourse, as well as irritation from clothing, and some women also seek this surgery for personal reasons related to comfort and confidence. The procedure reshapes and reduces the labial tissue to relieve these issues.
It is carried out in our on-site day theatre under local or general anaesthesia. Your doctor will discuss your concerns and examine the area before advising on the best surgical approach.
