Intimate Surgery
Aesthetic and functional surgery of the intimate area, including labiaplasty, that restores comfort and natural proportions. It suits women who experience physical or psychological discomfort related to the shape or function of this area.
Intimate surgery is a group of surgical procedures on the intimate area that restore its shape, proportions, and comfortable function. It includes labiaplasty, vulvoplasty, and other corrective operations performed for aesthetic or functional reasons.
How preparation and surgery proceed
Preparation starts with a confidential consultation: the surgeon reviews your concerns, examines the area, and draws up an individual plan. Standard preoperative tests (blood work and coagulation profile) and a gynecological examination are required. Smoking should be stopped and blood-thinning medication reviewed with the doctor in the weeks before surgery.
The operation is performed as day surgery or with a short stay in the clinic, under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. It takes approximately 1–1.5 hours, and the incisions are placed within the natural folds of the tissue, which keeps the scars inconspicuous once healed.
After the procedure you remain under observation for a few hours and receive written aftercare instructions, including restrictions for 4–6 weeks: no sports, saunas or pools, and no sexual activity. The first check-up takes place 7–10 days after surgery, followed by scheduled visits to monitor healing.
A realistic outcome is a more symmetrical shape, relief of physical discomfort, and improved self-confidence; the final result is assessed at 3–6 months. Confidentiality is treated with particular care: consultations take place in a private room, and all information and photographs are kept protected. International patients can arrange an online consultation before arriving in Kyiv, and the clinic team assists with scheduling and logistics.

How the operation goes
From the first consultation to follow-up visits.
Confidential consultation: discussing goals, examination, and an individual surgical plan
Preoperative work-up: laboratory tests, gynecological examination, and specialist consultations if needed
Surgery: under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, approximately 1–1.5 hours
A few hours of observation at the clinic and written aftercare instructions
Stitch removal (if required) and a check-up visit on days 7–10
Scheduled follow-up visits to assess healing and the final result
Week-by-week recovery
Timeframes are approximate: the individual recovery plan is set at the consultation.
Early recovery
Rest, wound care as instructed, and breathable natural-fabric underwear. Swelling and mild discomfort gradually subside.
Return to routine
You can return to a desk job without physical strain. Exercise and sexual activity are still restricted.
Tissue healing
Swelling resolves and the suture line matures. Walking and light activity are allowed.
Result takes shape
The tissues settle into their final shape and the scars fade and become barely noticeable.
Final result
The result stabilizes and the scars reach their final appearance and color.
Frequently asked questions
How much does intimate surgery cost?
Labioplasty starts from $1280 depending on the extent of the procedure. The exact price is confirmed after consultation, since it depends on the extent of the procedure and the technique chosen.
Is the surgery painful?
The operation itself is painless thanks to anesthesia. Some postoperative discomfort is expected during the first few days and is managed with standard pain relief.
Will the scars be visible?
Incisions are placed within the natural folds of the tissue, so the scars are inconspicuous once healed. They continue to fade over time.
When can I return to work and exercise?
A sedentary job is usually possible within 5–7 days; exercise and sexual activity can resume after 4–6 weeks once the surgeon confirms healing. Timelines are individual.
Is the result permanent?
The result is long-lasting, and the procedure rarely needs to be repeated. Natural aging and significant weight changes may gradually affect the area over the years.
Patient reviews
Talking about intimate surgery is hard, which is exactly why I want to leave a review. The consultation was very delicate — first with a nurse, then the doctor, without a hint of judgment. The operation was under sedation, and healing took exactly the four weeks they predicted. The result is functional and aesthetic: the discomfort during sports and tight clothing is gone. Thank you for treating this topic as ordinary medicine.
