Labia Reduction

The relatively short procedure takes place either on an outpatient or inpatient basis. This removes the excess tissue from the labia.

What methods are there?

Both the outer and inner labia can be reduced in size. When the outer labia are reduced in size, the tissue below the clitoris is removed. As soon as the inner labia are reduced in size, doctors carry out a so-called clitoral jacket tightening in order to ensure a harmonious overall picture. In addition, the clitoris can be moved towards the vagina in the case of sensory disorders.

What is possible?

A labia reduction provides more self-confidence and a new body feeling. This particularly affects women who suffer from enlarged labia after giving birth. Often there is irritation, redness, swelling or inflammation of the labia because they rub against underwear or are stressed when sitting or walking.

Breast reduction (man)

Liposuction is usually enough to reduce the size of the breasts, but removal of the breast tissue may also be necessary.

What methods are there?

The nipple remains completely intact during the procedure. In addition to liposuction, doctors perform a subcutaneous mastectomy, which also tightens the skin. To remove fat and glandular tissue during a subcutaneous mastectomy, the incision is made under the areola.

Psychological stress plays a major role in men with enlarged breasts. A classic male breast cannot be reduced even with a lot of exercise. After a mastectomy, not only is self-confidence strengthened – the risk of developing breast cancer also decreases.
