Labiaplasty Surgery in Mumbai
A Procedure More Women Want Than Talk About
Labiaplasty is the surgical reshaping of the labia minora (the inner folds of skin of the vulva) and, in some cases, the labia majora (the outer folds). For many women, enlarged or asymmetric labia are not a cosmetic concern but a physical one discomfort during cycling, gym workouts, yoga, horse riding, intimacy, and even prolonged sitting in fitted clothing. For others, the concern is genuinely cosmetic: visible labia in fitted leggings or swimwear, self-consciousness during intimacy, or distress with the changes brought by childbirth or ageing.
Despite being one of the most rapidly growing aesthetic procedures globally, labiaplasty is rarely discussed openly. Dr. Rachana Tataria offers labiaplasty in Mumbai at Fortis Hospital, Mulund a particularly significant offering because Dr. Tataria is a female plastic surgeon, which many women feel essential for a procedure involving the most private anatomy. With FRCS Plastic Surgery (UK), MCh, and 12+ years of operative experience, she performs labiaplasty with the precision of reconstructive surgery and complete patient confidentiality.
Common Reasons Women Seek Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty Techniques
Trim (Linear / Edge) Labiaplasty
The most common technique. The protruding edge of the labia minora is trimmed and the edge re-sutured. Quick, reliable, but does remove the natural pigmented edge.
Wedge Labiaplasty
A V-shaped wedge of labial tissue is removed from the central portion and the remaining edges sutured. Preserves the natural pigmented edge.
De-Epithelialisation Technique
A strip of skin is removed without disturbing the labial edges; suitable for selected cases.
Combined Labia Minora and Clitoral Hood Reduction
Addresses excess tissue both at the labia and clitoral hood for balanced appearance.
Labia Majora Reduction or Augmentation
Addressing the outer labia, either reducing excess skin or augmenting with fat grafting.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Women experiencing physical discomfort from labial size or shape.
Women with significant self-consciousness or distress related to labial appearance.
Patients aged 18 and above (typically).
Women who have completed family (though labiaplasty does not affect future pregnancy or vaginal delivery, recovery interferes with intimacy and physical activity).
Non-smokers, or willing to stop smoking before surgery.
The Procedure
Labiaplasty is usually performed under general anaesthesia or with light sedation and local anaesthesia.
The procedure generally takes around 1 to 1.5 hours depending on the surgical correction required.
Fine instruments and microsurgical precision are used with absorbable sutures throughout the procedure.
Most patients are discharged home on the same day following the surgical procedure.
Ice packs and supportive underwear are recommended during the first 48 hours after surgery.

FAQs : Labiaplasty Surgery in Mumbai
Most patients describe surprisingly modest pain — typically a tender, swollen feeling for 3–5 days managed with simple oral analgesics. Severe pain is uncommon.

Most patients return to desk work within a week. There is no visible external sign of having had the surgery in clothing. Intimate appearance changes are gradual and final by 2–3 months.
No. All sutures used are absorbable and dissolve on their own over 2–4 weeks.
Consultations are private, scheduled with full confidentiality, and conducted in a clinical setting with a female surgeon. Discretion is one of the core values of this practice.
