Our approaches to intimate surgery
To achieve a natural and long-lasting result, our surgeons always take your individual tissue structure into account. We use different techniques depending on whether you are undergoing inner or outer labia surgery or other intimate surgical procedures.
Labiaplasty
This procedure involves removing excess tissue from the inner labia to reduce their size and alleviate chafing. It is a precise procedure designed to preserve a natural shape.
Surgery on the outer labia
If the outer labia are enlarged or asymmetrical, we can surgically reshape them to improve comfort and restore a balanced appearance.
Fat grafting to the outer labia
If, on the other hand, the outer labia have lost their firmness and volume (for example, due to ageing or childbirth), fullness and protection can be restored using the patient’s own fat.
Liposuction of the mons pubis
A gentle method for reducing stubborn, localised fat deposits above the pubic bone (the mons pubis) that can cause chafing or discomfort when wearing tight-fitting clothes.
Vaginal tightening surgery (Vaginoplasty)
A surgical procedure to tighten the posterior vaginal wall and the pelvic floor muscles, which is often requested to restore function following childbirth-related injuries.
Gentle technology and medical precision
Regardless of which surgical method is deemed best suited to your individual circumstances, our plastic surgeons use surgical instruments that minimise trauma to the extremely sensitive mucous membrane and skin. A gentle and precise approach is crucial for reducing bleeding and swelling. This promotes safer healing following your intimate surgery and ensures extremely discreet scars.

Consultation before your operation
The first step is a consultation with a plastic surgery specialist. You choose whether you want to book an online appointment or meet us in person at the clinic. During the appointment, you will be given medical information about risks, current waiting times and which techniques are best for you.
You will receive a specific treatment proposal based on your body. After the appointment, you will have a statutory reflection period of at least 7 days to decide in peace and quiet whether you want to give your consent.
Intimate surgery
Step by step
To ensure you feel confident and well prepared, we have a clear and reliable process in place, from your first visit right through to your final follow-up appointment. Here, we provide an overview of how labia reduction surgery is carried out at our clinic, from start to finish.
Consultation
Medical assessment and choice of method
The surgeon examines the structure and elasticity of the cartilage. We discuss whether the procedure should be performed under local anaesthetic or general anaesthetic.
Before your procedure
Preparing for a safe operation
You will be given instructions on hygiene procedures and stopping smoking (at least 4 weeks before and after the operation). This is a non-negotiable requirement to ensure the safety of the operation.
The day of the operation
Safe care at the clinic
You will be admitted to the clinic. A labia majora reduction procedure usually takes 1–2 hours and is generally performed under general anaesthetic to ensure your comfort.
After the operation
Awakening and initial rest
You will rest in the recovery room. The area where the operation was performed will be swollen. Most patients go home the same day with the recommended pain relief.
Recovery & healing
Self-care and convalescence guidelines
Keep a close eye on your recovery. Gently wash your genital area after using the toilet. Avoid tight clothing, heavy lifting, bathing, cycling and sexual intercourse for the first six weeks to protect the stitches.
Monitoring & results
Medical check-up and final assessment
A follow-up appointment to check the wound is usually scheduled just over a week later (the stitches are usually self-dissolving and do not need to be removed). A final check-up is booked six months later.
Our specialists in intimate surgery
At The Faculty, we have assembled a hand-picked team of plastic surgeons, where every reconstructive and cosmetic procedure is carried out by specialists with cutting-edge expertise, grounded in science and uncompromising perfection. Your safety and peace of mind are always our top priority.
Who is eligible for intimate surgery?
To book a cosmetic or functional procedure with us, you must be at least 18 years old and in good general health. During the consultation, a thorough assessment is carried out to ensure that the procedure is suitable. Some patients wonder whether it is possible to have surgery through the public healthcare system (intimate surgery via the county council). To have labiaplasty via the county council, you often need to have very severe, documented medical and functional problems. At a private clinic such as The Faculty, the patient pays for the procedure themselves with the aim of restoring function and alleviating everyday discomfort.

The Faculty combines medical safety with a welcoming environment. Our state-of-the-art clinic at Hangövägen 20 is one of the few plastic surgery clinics in Sweden that is built to proper hospital standards. For skin care and injection treatments, you are welcome to visit our walk-in clinic at Humlegårdsgatan 14 in central Stockholm.

Att välja att genomgå ett estetiskt kirurgiskt ingrepp eller en injektionsbehandling är ett personligt beslut, och på The Faculty värdesätter vi fullständig transparens genom att alltid erbjuda en tydlig och specificerad prisuppgift vid din konsultation. För din trygghet omfattas du av en omfattande patientförsäkring samt en förlängd garantitid under läkningsperioden, och för de som önskar erbjuder vi även finansiell vägledning kring delbetalning som ett valbart alternativ helt separerat från den medicinska bedömningen.
Articles & news
Frequently asked questions about lower abdominal surgery
Here we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions about intimate surgery
Does it hurt after labia reduction surgery?
It is normal to experience some burning and tenderness in the first few days following your labiaplasty. Your surgeon will prescribe painkillers to manage this and make your initial recovery easier.
How is a fat transfer to the outer labia performed?
The procedure involves the surgeon gently extracting a small amount of fat from another area of your body (often the abdomen or the backs of the knees). The fat is purified and then injected with high precision into the outer labia to restore natural volume and softness.
How long does the swelling last (before and after abdominal surgery)?
The swelling is most pronounced during the first 48 hours to a week. Depending on the procedure (liposuction of the mons pubis, for example, behaves slightly differently from surgery on mucous membranes), it can take several weeks, up to a couple of months, before the internal swelling in the tissue has completely subsided.
Does labiaplasty reduce sensation?
Due to the swelling that occurs and the effect of the surgery on the superficial nerves, many people experience temporary numbness in the area. However, sensation usually returns gradually over a period of about six months.
When can I start exercising again after intimate surgery?
Short, gentle walks are encouraged from an early stage, but you must avoid all forms of strenuous exercise, cycling, horse riding and heavy lifting for at least six weeks to avoid causing bleeding or damaging the delicate stitches.
How long does the recovery period last?
If you have a physically light and sedentary job, you can often return to work after around three to five days. Penetrative sexual activity, as well as bathing in a bath or swimming pool, must be strictly avoided for the first six weeks to prevent the risk of infection.
