Procedures are performed under local anaesthesia or light sedation, depending on your needs.

  • Labia Minora Reduction: size/shape refinement and selective de-pigmentation.

A few wards for BADER MEDICAL CENTRE. They are perfect. Not only the doctors, but the team as well. My doctor is, Maria Papadopoulou. I know her about 3 years and that I need to say, she is very professional, knowledge, sympathy and polite. Most important all they have something, and we call in Greece. Filotimo. One by one even the manager. I say thank you very much 😊

I came across the Bader Medical Institute through a social media advertisement for the Emsella treatment. I decided to make an appointment and everyone I’ve dealt with has been very professional but also supportive and empathetic to me. They always have time for my questions and if I need to rearrange my appointment they have always been able to accommodate me. My therapist Charoula is the most helpful person, she always has a smile on her face and offered to stay late for me when I could only make a very late appointment time. The treatment has been amazing and I would definitely recommend Charoula and the Bader Institute.

I cannot rate the Bader Medical Institute Of London enough. Seeing Dr. Maria Papadopoulou was the best decision I've ever made. Her whole team are amazing, their care is first class and has always helped me with whatever health problem I had. If you are struggling with Gynaecology issues, I highly recommend. Thank you ☺️

FAQs

How is labiaplasty performed?

We use specialised laser equipment to precisely remove excess tissue and refine edges. Remaining tissue is closed with fine, absorbable sutures. Procedures are carried out with strict privacy and anaesthesia tailored to you (local or light sedation).

Laser vs. traditional (scalpel) methods — what’s the difference?

Laser techniques allow high precision, excellent haemostasis and smooth edges — supporting faster recovery and refined cosmetic outcomes. The low-energy surgical lasers we use are designed for delicate tissue work.

Will there be visible scarring?

Our side-to-side, curve-linear technique aims to keep any incision lines discreet. With laser contouring and fine sutures, scars are typically minimal and often hardly visible once healed.

How long does the procedure take?

Most cases take 1–2 hours depending on the plan (minora, majora reduction/lift, or augmentation).

Is the procedure painful? What about recovery?

During treatment, anaesthesia keeps you comfortable. Afterwards, pain is usually mild and manageable with simple analgesia. Expect some swelling for a few days. Dressings are typically not required; we’ll give you clear aftercare guidance.

What about labia majora augmentation options?

We offer two options: autologous fat transfer (longer-lasting volume using your own fat) and hyaluronic-acid fillers (quicker, temporary enhancement — often 8–10 months). We’ll discuss which best suits your goals.

Why choose Bader Medical Institute?

Our team focuses on intimate cosmetic gynaecology with high volumes of labiaplasty cases, advanced laser platforms and protocols emphasising safety, privacy and natural aesthetics — led by internationally recognised specialists.

How much does labiaplasty cost?

Pricing is personalised based on your anatomy and treatment plan (minora, majora reduction/lift, augmentation). We’ll confirm exact fees after consultation and examination.

How do I know if I am a suitable candidate for labiaplasty?

Suitability for labiaplasty is determined through a thorough consultation and not a checklist. There is no clinical threshold of labial size or shape that qualifies or disqualifies a patient. What matters is your specific concern, your anatomy, and whether surgery is the appropriate solution for it.

Patients who benefit most from labiaplasty include those experiencing:

  • Physical discomfort during exercise, cycling, intimacy, or wearing certain clothing
  • Functional irritation or chafing
  • Changes following childbirth that affect how they feel in their own body
  • Asymmetry that causes persistent self-consciousness
  • A longstanding concern that has not resolved despite managing expectations
  • Suitability also depends on general health, not smoking or managing it, having realistic expectations of outcome, and not being in active pregnancy. Dr. Alex Bader and Dr. Maria Papadopoulou, founder of Bader Medical Institute London, will give you an honest assessment: including if surgery is not, in their clinical judgement, the right option for you

What is the recovery from intimate surgery really like?

Recovery is the area most patients feel least prepared for, and the area in which realistic information makes the most significant difference to experience and outcome.

For labiaplasty and clitoral hoodectomy:

  • Days 1–3: Swelling, bruising, and soreness that is manageable with prescribed pain relief. Most patients are uncomfortable rather than in significant pain.
  • Days 4–7: Swelling peaks. The area will look more pronounced than the final result. This is normal and expected (not a sign of complication).
  • Week 2: Swelling begins to reduce. Most patients return to desk-based work.
  • Weeks 3–4: Continued improvement. Residual sensitivity.
  • Weeks 4–6: Return to exercise and sexual activity (not before).
  • 3 months: Final result visible as all swelling has resolved.

For vaginoplasty: recovery is slightly longer. 2 weeks before light activity, 6–8 weeks before intercourse.

The most common reason for complications in intimate surgery is returning to activity: particularly exercise and sexual intercourse, before the surgical site has healed. Our aftercare instructions are detailed, written, and provided at the pre-operative assessment. Our team is available 24 x 7 throughout your recovery

Can I have intimate surgery if I plan to have more children?

This is a question that requires an honest answer rather than a commercially convenient one.

For vaginoplasty: we strongly advise against the procedure in women who have not yet completed their families. Vaginal delivery following vaginoplasty can reverse the surgical result and carries additional risk. The procedure is designed for women who have finished having children.

For labiaplasty: the picture is more nuanced. Labiaplasty does not affect fertility, pregnancy, or the ability to deliver vaginally. However, childbirth can alter the appearance of the labia. In this case, it sometimes means returning to a similar appearance to the pre-operative state. For this reason, we generally recommend that women who are planning pregnancies in the near term, consider timing carefully. For women who have recently delivered, please allow full healing (typically 12 months), before undergoing labiaplasty.

For clitoral hoodectomy: future pregnancies do not directly affect the results of this procedure.

Our surgeons will discuss your specific situation and plans at consultation. The advice you receive will be clinically honest and not shaped by what you want to hear.

How do I know if my appearance is ‘normal’ and does it matter for surgery?

The range of normal in female genital anatomy is far wider than most women realise. This is in part because accurate visual representation of this anatomy is almost entirely absent from mainstream culture, education, and media.

Studies consistently show that the majority of women who seek labiaplasty have anatomy that falls within the clinical range of normal variation. That fact does not diminish the validity of their concern. Physical discomfort is real, regardless of where it sits on a spectrum. Self-consciousness that affects quality of life, intimacy, or the ability to exercise comfortably is a legitimate clinical concern regardless of whether the anatomy causing it is statistically typical.

Whether your anatomy is ‘normal’ is not the most important question. The important question is whether your concern is real and whether surgery can address it in a way that would meaningfully improve your quality of life. That is what a consultation at Bader Medical is designed to determine honestly, and without a commercial agenda
