Intimate surgery: labia correction in Vienna

Expert in Vienna

A labia correction or labia reduction, also known as labiaplasty, is an aesthetic plastic procedure performed in Vienna by Dr. Handl. Many women suffer from feelings of shame or reduced self-confidence because of asymmetrical, enlarged or overly long labia. In some cases, physical complaints such as pain or friction during sport or sexual intercourse can also occur.

In this case, a labia correction can help and contribute to an improved quality of life. In the procedure, the inner labia are aesthetically corrected, reduced or reconstructed under local anaesthesia, with twilight sedation or general anaesthesia on request. The aim of labia reduction is to create a natural and symmetrical shape that meets the patient's wishes and relieves her physical complaints.

Before a labia reduction is performed, a detailed consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon is essential. In Vienna, Dr. Markus-Johannes Handl is a recognised expert in labia correction and takes enough time to answer all questions and explain the various surgical options. In this consultation, the patient's individual starting situation is discussed and a treatment plan is drawn up together. This covers not only aesthetic wishes but also medical aspects such as possible risks or restrictions after the procedure.

A labia reduction is a very personal procedure that requires great sensitivity and experience. Dr. Handl can look back on many years of experience with gender-affirming surgery and knows exactly what matters in a labia correction. As a rule, the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and the patient can leave the clinic on the same day.

A labia correction can give women a new body image and self-confidence and contribute to a better quality of life. At Dr. Handl's in Vienna, careful planning and the patient's well-being are the focus.

A labia correction in Vienna begins with a detailed consultation in which Dr. Handl discusses the patient's individual needs and wishes. He explains the procedure, the risks and the possible results. The actual operation is performed under local anaesthesia, with twilight sedation or general anaesthesia on request, and takes about one hour. The labia to be reduced are first marked and then removed or reshaped. The scars are usually inconspicuous and barely visible.

Swelling and bruising may occur after the procedure, but these subside after a few days. It is recommended to avoid physical exertion in the first weeks after the operation to support healing. Dr. Handl places great importance on individual and empathetic care for his patients and is available for questions and concerns after the operation too.
