Labia Majora Surgery
A procedure that restores firmness to labia majora that have lost volume and become wrinkled
Labia majora lifting restores firmness to labia majora that have lost volume and become wrinkled as the skin loses elasticity.
The method depends on the degree of wrinkling. Fine and moderate wrinkles are treated non-surgically (laser treatment, skin care) to restore skin elasticity, while large (sagging) wrinkles and localized wrinkles are treated with a lift that pulls the sagging skin upwards. It takes about 30 minutes under sedation or local anesthesia, and you go home the same day. Recovery takes 2 weeks.
Why UROGYN considers the firmness of the labia majora so important
Wrinkled labia majora can look unattractive and may easily become a source of self-consciousness.

How labia majora lifting is done A different approach for each type of wrinkle
01. Laser treatment
Fine and moderate wrinkles
Skin elasticity can be restored with non-surgical methods (laser treatment, skin care). Energy delivered deep into the skin restores firmness and a healthy glow. We adjust the energy level according to how much the skin sags.
02. Wrinkle removal surgery
Large (sagging) wrinkles / localized wrinkles
Skin elasticity can be restored with a lift that pulls the sagging skin upwards. The sagging skin is removed to make the area taut. If needed, we also carry out more complex surgical treatment.
| Aspect | Previous method | Current UROGYN method |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Pulled excessively tight so that no wrinkles form | Pulled slightly loosely, allowing for skin that naturally folds |
| Marks | The incision line may be visible from the outside | Hidden among the pubic hair or beneath the labia minora so that it is not noticeable |
| Combined procedures | No other procedures during recovery | Other procedures such as whitening and hair removal can be done at the same time |

AFTERCARE
After labia majora lifting surgery
The day after surgery
Start sitz baths from the next day.
- Fill a basin with lukewarm (slightly cool) water deep enough to cover your bottom, dissolve a 500-won-coin-sized amount of Clinosan cleansing solution in it, and take a 10-minute sitz bath morning and evening for 2 weeks.
- After each sitz bath, wash your hands thoroughly and apply Vaseline ointment to the surgical wound for 10 days.
- You will be prescribed medication for 5–7 days. If you have heartburn, retching or nausea, stop taking it at once and call us.
- Once you have finished the prescribed painkillers, you may also take Tylenol or the period pain medication you usually take.
- Use an ice pack for 3 days, and wear loose, breathable clothing for 2 weeks.
2–3 days
Itching in the surgical area is normal.
Some itching in the surgical area 2–3 days after surgery is normal and a sign that it is healing well. If it is very uncomfortable, please come in to be seen.
1–3 weeks
You may have some discharge and bleeding.
- Wear a sanitary pad when you go out. At home, let the area air as much as possible.
- If bleeding is heavy, press on the area with gauze or a dry towel. Keep the pad, take a photo of it and send it to us on KakaoTalk.
Weeks 3 and 6
Come in to have your stitches removed.
- How stitches heal varies from person to person depending on skin type, but please come in once in week 3 and once in week 6 after surgery to have them removed. The visit dates may change depending on your condition.
- After the stitches are removed, apply regenerating cream to the surgical area if you have had surgery on the clitoris, labia minora, perineum, accessory folds or labia majora.
- After the stitches are removed, the labia minora and accessory folds may look slightly open or feel itchy. This is caused by skin regeneration and heals naturally as you apply the regenerating ointment, so never pull the area apart to look at it or touch it.
4–6 weeks
You can have sex 4–6 weeks after surgery, once the doctor has checked your condition.
Use a lubricant the first time you have sex.
3–4 months
Swelling takes at least 3–4 months to go down.
This may vary depending on your condition.
Daily life
Please follow these guidelines in daily life.
- Avoid alcohol, smoking, public baths and saunas for 4 weeks. You may shower from the next day.
- While you recover, avoid rubbing the surgical area, wearing tight underwear or trousers, exercising strenuously, squatting, lifting heavy objects, crossing your legs and cycling. Take care not to put downward pressure on the area.
- After a shower or sitz bath, dry the area with cool air, and after passing urine, gently pat the area dry.
