At Tartaczna 2 Medical Centre, we offer labiaplasty in Gdansk — surgery to reduce and reshape the labia minora, or inner labia. The procedure may be considered when their shape or size causes chafing, pulling or pain during everyday activities. Surgery is performed by Dr Marek Korożan and Dr Volha Khitrun using Fraxx radiofrequency technology.
Your care begins with a consultation to assess the cause of your symptoms, discuss your expectations and plan the extent of surgery. We perform the procedure under local anaesthesia on an outpatient basis.

Labiaplasty involves surgically removing part of the tissue and reshaping the labia minora. Surgery may involve both sides or just one. The aim is to achieve a shape suited to your anatomy while preserving tissue function and reducing discomfort caused by pulling or pressure.
The size, colour and shape of the labia naturally vary from person to person. Asymmetry and inner labia extending beyond the outer labia can be normal anatomical variations. Their appearance alone does not indicate a medical condition or a need for surgery.
A consultation may be helpful if you experience symptoms that you associate with the shape or size of your labia, such as:
During the examination, your doctor will assess whether your symptoms are actually related to the anatomy of the labia. Dryness, itching, recurrent infections and vulval pain may require other treatment. These symptoms alone are not indications for labiaplasty.
Procedures performed solely for cosmetic reasons are considered in adults after genital development is complete. Symptoms in patients under 18 require a separate gynaecological assessment.
At Tartaczna 2 Medical Centre, we use Fraxx radiofrequency technology for labiaplasty. Radiofrequency energy delivered through a surgical electrode allows the doctor to cut tissue and coagulate small blood vessels, sealing them to control bleeding.
Radiofrequency is a surgical tool used during the operation. The doctor marks out the planned correction, removes the appropriate amount of tissue and closes the wound with stitches. The device settings and incision technique are chosen according to your anatomy and the surgical plan.
The outcome depends on the extent of surgery, the operator's experience, the blood supply to the tissues and the healing process. Radiofrequency does not eliminate the risk of complications or the need for recovery time.
A consultation with the doctor who will perform your surgery is required beforehand. During the appointment, Dr Marek Korożan or Dr Volha Khitrun will take your medical history, examine the area and discuss the available options.
Your consultation covers:
Tell your doctor about any chronic conditions, previous surgery in the area, allergies, medicines and supplements, and plans for pregnancy. The decision to have surgery should be informed and voluntary, with time to have your questions answered.
The procedure usually takes around 60–120 minutes, depending on the extent of correction. Your doctor will give you a more specific estimate during your consultation.
Dissolvable stitches are most commonly used. How long they take to dissolve depends on the material; this does not necessarily indicate that healing is complete. If stitches requiring removal are used, your doctor will arrange an appointment.
The surgical technique determines how the tissue is marked and removed. Fraxx radiofrequency can be used as a surgical instrument with an appropriately selected technique. The illustrations below show examples of different approaches; your operation is planned individually.
This involves removing a wedge-shaped section of tissue and joining the remaining parts of the labium. It allows part of the natural edge to be preserved. The blood supply and tension at the wound edges need careful assessment.
This involves removing a strip of tissue along the edge of the labium and reshaping the remaining edge. The amount removed is planned to preserve sufficient tissue and its function.
In selected cases, the doctor may consider a modified incision pattern. The choice depends on the tissue anatomy, asymmetry, any existing scars and the aims of surgery.
At your consultation, you will receive a list of required tests and information on how recent the results need to be. Depending on your health and the surgical plan, these may include a full blood count, APTT and INR clotting tests, urinalysis, and tests for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. Your doctor will also determine whether a vaginal swab or culture is needed.
Follow your individual instructions on hygiene, hair removal, eating and drinking before the procedure. Do not use antiseptics or vaginal medicines unless advised.
Surgery may need to be postponed if you are pregnant, have an active infection in the area, a clotting disorder, a poorly controlled chronic condition or changes requiring further investigation. Your doctor will assess your suitability based on your history, examination and test results.
We perform labiaplasty under local anaesthesia. The anaesthetic injection may briefly sting or cause a pinprick sensation. You may feel touch or pressure during the procedure. If you feel pain, tell your doctor so the anaesthesia can be adjusted.
Once the anaesthetic wears off, you may experience soreness, swelling, bruising or discomfort when sitting or passing urine. Symptoms vary from person to person. Follow the pain relief instructions provided by your doctor.
The operated area needs particular care during the first few days. Returning to work depends on how you feel and the nature of your job. You may need around a week off, although some patients need 1–2 weeks or longer.
Sexual intercourse, tampon use, strenuous exercise and activities that cause pressure or friction are usually restricted for around 4–6 weeks. Resume them only after the wound has healed and your doctor has confirmed that it is appropriate. Recovery may take longer if healing is slower.
Swelling gradually settles, but the final shape and appearance of the scars are assessed after several months, often around 3–6 months after surgery.
Seek prompt medical advice if you develop heavy bleeding, rapidly increasing or one-sided swelling, worsening pain, fever, pus-like discharge, wound separation or difficulty passing urine. These symptoms need assessment even if they develop several days after surgery.
In appropriately selected patients, labiaplasty may reduce discomfort caused by pulling, folding and chafing of the labia and change their size and proportions. We discuss the expected outcome before surgery.
Possible complications include bleeding, a haematoma, infection, wound separation, painful scarring, altered sensation, persistent pain or pain during intercourse. Some asymmetry may remain, and further corrective surgery may be needed. Perfect symmetry, invisible scars and improved sexual satisfaction cannot be guaranteed.
Yes, following an individual assessment. Discuss your pregnancy plans during the consultation, as pregnancy and childbirth may affect the appearance of the tissues and the results of previous surgery.
The timing is agreed individually. Surgery is often scheduled after your period has finished so that menstrual bleeding does not make wound care and assessment more difficult during the first days of healing.
Removed tissue does not grow back in its original form. However, the appearance of the area may change with age, hormonal changes, pregnancy and childbirth. The result is assessed after healing is complete.
Yes, once the wound has healed and you have been reviewed. Because cycling causes pressure and friction, it may require a longer break than gentle everyday activities.
The cost of labiaplasty depends on the extent of correction and your individual surgical plan. During your consultation, you will receive information about the fee, required tests and follow-up arrangements.
