What is external genital surgery?
External female genital surgery restores the aesthetics and functionality of this area, enhancing both appearance and self-confidence.
This procedure is gaining importance, as more women consult the Instituto Dra. Ana Torres seeking to improve their quality of life through such surgeries.
We offer the following procedures to our patients:
Labia minora reduction surgery
Labia majora augmentation surgery
Clitoroplasty
Hymenoplasty
What do the procedures involve?
The procedures vary depending on the type of surgery and the specific needs of the patient:
Labia minora reduction: We remove excess tissue from the labia minora when they are hypertrophic or enlarged, ensuring a better appearance.
Labia majora augmentation: We inject filler, either hyaluronic acid or the patient’s own fat, to add volume to the labia majora, creating a more attractive look.
Clitoroplasty: We reduce or reshape the clitoris to enhance sensitivity and improve sexual satisfaction, boosting the patient's confidence.
Hymenoplasty: We reconstruct the hymen, the membrane located at the lower part of the vagina, restoring its natural anatomical form.
Depends on the type of surgery
1-3 hours

Frequently asked questions
We use local or general anaesthesia for these surgeries, so there is no pain during the procedure, ensuring the patient's comfort. However, some temporary discomfort or pain may occur after surgery, which can be managed with medication prescribed by the specialist at the Instituto Dra. Ana Torres.
It is recommended to wait at least 6 weeks before resuming sexual activity to allow for proper healing and to avoid affecting the recovery process. The specialist at the Instituto Dra. Ana Torres will determine the appropriate time based on your progress.
There is no scientific evidence suggesting that external genital surgery affects fertility, especially as the specialists at the Instituto Dra. Ana Torres have in-depth knowledge of the anatomy and how to perform each surgery safely.
At the Instituto Dra. Ana Torres, the risks during surgery are generally low, but post-procedure complications may include bleeding, infection, bruising, visible scars, genital asymmetry, loss of sensitivity, temporary pain, and unsatisfactory results. If any of these occur, it is important to consult the specialist who treated you for immediate care.
