Who Needs Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is sought after by women for various reasons, ranging from physical discomfort to psychological distress related to the appearance of their labia. Anca understands the sensitivity of these issues and approaches each case with empathy and professionalism. You might consider labiaplasty if you experience:
- Physical Discomfort or Pain: Activities such as cycling, running, or even sitting for extended periods can cause discomfort if the labia are enlarged or elongated. Labiaplasty can alleviate these symptoms by creating a more compact labial structure.
- Difficulties with Intimacy: Excess labial tissue can sometimes cause pain during sexual activities, leading to anxiety and decreased sexual satisfaction. Reshaping the labia can help restore comfort and confidence.
- Hygiene Issues: Large or irregularly shaped labia may trap moisture and lead to recurrent infections. Reducing the size of the labia can improve hygiene and reduce the risk of these issues.
- Self-consciousness: Feeling self-conscious about the appearance of the labia can impact self-esteem and body image. Labiaplasty offers a solution to those who seek a more traditional aesthetic appearance, leading to enhanced confidence and well-being.
Anca’s extensive experience and understanding of the female anatomy allow her to offer guidance and support, ensuring that labiaplasty is tailored to meet your individual needs and expectations.
Benefits of Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty offers a range of benefits that contribute significantly to your quality of life and psychological well-being. Anca’s meticulous approach ensures that these benefits are maximised for each patient:
- Improved Comfort: By addressing the size and shape of the labia, labiaplasty can eliminate the physical discomfort associated with elongated or enlarged labia, making everyday activities and physical exercise more comfortable.
- Enhanced Aesthetic Appearance: Many women seek labiaplasty for aesthetic reasons, desiring a more symmetrical or traditionally appealing genital appearance. Anca’s expertise ensures that the results are natural-looking, with attention to maintaining the integrity and sensitivity of the labial tissue.
- Increased Sexual Confidence and Pleasure: Reducing excess tissue can alleviate pain during intercourse, making sexual activity more enjoyable. Additionally, the increased confidence in the appearance of the genital area can lead to improved sexual relationships and satisfaction.
- Improved Hygiene: Smaller and more proportionate labia are easier to clean, reducing the risk of infections and contributing to better overall genital health.
- Psychological Well-being: For many, the psychological impact of feeling uncomfortable or unhappy with the appearance of their labia cannot be overstated. Labiaplasty can offer a significant boost in self-esteem and body confidence, positively affecting mental health.
Anca is committed to ensuring that the benefits of labiaplasty extend beyond the physical, supporting your journey towards improved self-confidence and quality of life.

has made for our clients
Types of Labiaplasty Surgery
Trim Labiaplasty
This is the most common technique, involving the trimming of excess tissue from the edges of the labia minora to reduce their size and achieve a more balanced appearance with the labia majora. The trim method is often preferred for its straightforwardness and the ability to remove darkened or irregular edges of the labia minora.
Wedge Labiaplasty
A wedge of tissue is removed from the middle of the labia minora, preserving the natural border. This technique is chosen to maintain the original contour of the labia while decreasing its overall size. It’s particularly beneficial for those looking to reduce bulkiness without altering the natural rim of the labia.
Central De-Epithelialisation Labiaplasty
This less common technique involves removing a strip of tissue from the central part of the labia minora without affecting the edges. It’s suitable for women who wish to retain the natural edge of the labia minora while reducing its volume.
Labia Majora Reduction
For those concerned with the size of the labia majora, this procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat, which can be done through surgical excision or liposuction.
How Is the Procedure Performed
Labiaplasty by Anca is performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. The choice of anaesthesia will be based on the complexity of the surgery, your preferences and Anca’s recommendation. The procedure usually takes about one to two hours to complete, depending on the technique used and whether additional procedures are being performed simultaneously.
- Preparation: Before the surgery, Anca will mark the areas of the labia to be reduced or reshaped, based on the pre-operative discussion and planning.
- Surgical Technique: Depending on the chosen method (trim, wedge, or central de-epithelialisation), Anca will carefully remove the excess tissue and reshape the labia. The incisions are made with precision to minimise scarring and preserve the natural texture and pigmentation of the labial edges.
- Closure: The incisions are closed with fine, dissolvable stitches that will naturally be absorbed by your body over time, eliminating the need for suture removal.
- Post-operative Care: Immediately after the surgery, you’ll be taken to a recovery area where you’ll be closely monitored until you’re ready to be discharged. Anca will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
This meticulously tailored approach ensures that the results are both aesthetically pleasing and functional, significantly improving your quality of life and self-confidence.
Labiaplasty can be classified into different types, each designed to address specific concerns and achieve desired results. Anca is proficient in all these variations, guiding you through the options to select the most suitable approach: Trim Labiaplasty, Wedge Labiaplasty, Central De-Epithelialisation Labiaplasty, or Labia Majora Reduction.
Anca will discuss these options with you, taking into account your physical anatomy, aesthetic goals, and any functional concerns to recommend the most appropriate type of labiaplasty.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from labiaplasty is generally smooth, with Anca providing complete aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible outcome. Here’s what you can expect during the recovery process:
- Immediate Post-Operative Period: You may experience swelling and discomfort in the treated area for the first few days. Anca will prescribe pain relief to manage any discomfort, and you’ll be advised to apply cold packs to reduce swelling.
- Rest and Recovery: It’s essential to take it easy for the first week after surgery. Avoid strenuous activities and any form of exercise for at least 4-6 weeks. Anca will guide you on when it’s safe to resume various activities.
- Hygiene: Keeping the area clean is crucial. You’ll be given specific instructions on how to gently clean the area and advised to wear loose, comfortable clothing to prevent irritation.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Anca will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress, remove any non-dissolvable sutures if used, and address any concerns you may have.
- Sexual Activity: It’s recommended to abstain from sexual activity and the use of tampons for approximately 4-6 weeks post-surgery, allowing the tissues to heal properly.
- Long-Term Care: Although the results of labiaplasty are permanent, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow good hygiene practices to support long-term satisfaction with your results.

Patient satisfaction is the top priority for Anca. You can find how patients feel about her work below.First class surgeon – I truly believe this operation has changed my life
My treatment was first class. I am 43 (42 at the time of the op) and it is approx 10 weeks since the op. Having always felt very self conscious about the way i looked, with age (and i guess hormones) things had only gotten worse, to the point where exercise, and underwear were becoming increasingly uncomfortable. Sitting on a bike seat for long periods was unbearable. My labia minora would also be in the way during sex. When i was younger i was mortified to be told they were like elephant ears.
My operation was my labia minor with clitoral hood reduction. I was shown before and after pictures of previous clients and although I was impressed with their success, I felt even worse about myself as none of the ladies had looked as severe as me. I would have been delighted to look like any of the before pictures I had been shown.
During the consultation I was asked if i would like a chaperone whilst being examined and treated with a lot of dignity. Afterward the examination the procedure was explained in full; a wedge shaped piece of my labia minora would be removed and the two sides sewn together. I was pleased to hear this could all be done under local anaesthetic.
As i didn’t seem to have much in the way of labia majora I was warned the the minora may still appear to hang down. Recovery time would be 6 weeks during which time I shouldn’t exercise. As some one who exercises at least once a day this was very difficult to hear but I knew this would be short term pain for a lifetime of comfort and confidence.
I of course booked in as soon as I could. On the day of the procedure I made to feel extremely relaxed and cared for by the team. The op itself lasted about 2 hours or so, during which time I was given numbing cream prior to the local anesthetic so could only feel a bit of tugging now and then but certainly no pain.
Even with all the swelling I was so happy with how I looked after the operation and this improved each week. After the first 24 hours I didn’t feel painkillers were required. It was more discomfort than actual pain. For the first couple of weeks I cleansed after each loo visit and applied the cream prescribed to me. Wiping after going was a no-no!
I went back for a post op consultation and we were both pleased with how I was healing though there was still swelling and bruising at this time. Another two weeks and I was able to walk without much discomfort, so I did start going on longer walks but nothing strenuous. At 5 weeks I felt pretty much heeled. When I saw Anca Breahna I was so pleased I could have cried.
I look totally different, the scars are barely visible and there seems to be no scar tissue beneath the surface. Standing up my labia minora do not hand lower at all so the results are actually better than expected. I truly believe this operation has changed my life and am so grateful to Anca Breahna for this.
I had labiaplasty and a clitoral hood reduction with Miss Breahna in early January, so I am now 8 weeks post-surgery. I am beyond delighted with my results and experience. I am 49 years old and have been contemplating this surgery for some time. A few years ago all of the experienced female surgeons were in London and I did not want to have surgery so far from home. So I was very happy to find Miss Breahna. I heard about her through a doctor who is a friend, who told me that she was very highly regarded by her peers. Prior to the surgery I had 2 consultations and Miss Breahna was extremely thorough in explaining the surgery, showing me lots of pictures and also explaining the potential complications. I was a little nervous about having a local anaesthetic for the surgery, but I really shouldn’t have worried. I was given a numbing cream, so didn’t feel a thing when the anaesthetic was administered. Miss Breahna has an all female theatre team who were lovely and really put me at ease. We chatted about all kinds of topics during the surgery! My recovery from the surgery was uneventful. I took the prescribed painkillers for 24 hours after the surgery, but then I didn’t need them after that. I followed all of the instructions that I was given. I stayed in bed, off my feet, for 3 full days after the surgery to allow the wounds to heal, loving the opportunity to watch some films and TV series. I then took it really easy for the rest of that first week. During the 2nd week I worked from home and again took care not to do too much. I had no pain and no stinging at all during those early days. Miss Breahna gives you antibiotic ointment and a post-surgical spray to apply to the stitches during the early weeks of your recovery. Between weeks 2-6 I did not feel very restricted as a result of the surgery and had no pain or discomfort, but I did refrain from exercise and intimate relations as per the advice. From 6 weeks onwards I have been able to resume all activities. The most unexpected outcome for me has been the improvement in feeling and sensitivity as a result of the clitoral hood reduction. The cosmetic appearance does really change over time. In the immediate aftermath of the surgery the whole area is swollen and the stitched areas are prominent. As the weeks go by, the swelling disappears and you can then start to see the results. If you do go ahead with surgery, don’t stress when you look in the mirror during the first week! It won’t look like that in the end. Cosmetic surgery is a big decision, but if you put yourself in the hands of an experienced and diligent surgeon then the outcomes can be absolutely amazing and life-changing. Miss Breahna is a skilled surgeon, with lots of experience of labiaplasty. She is also a lovely person who makes a personal, intimate experience very comfortable. I am grateful to her for doing such a great job!
I had a labiaplasty with Dr Breahna and from start to finish the process was handled with sensitivity and expertise. Dr. Breahna’s expertise became evident during our initial consultation, where she thoroughly explained the different methods to achieve natural-looking results and engaged in a detailed discussion to determine the best approach for me. Under local anesthesia, the procedure was painless, lasting less than an hour. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Breahna and her nurse provided consistent reassurance, diligently explaining each step. Over the subsequent two weeks, I followed the recovery advice and found cleansing the area with warm salt water really helped. Swelling and soreness is a natural part of the healing process, but the discomfort was minimal. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Breahna’s services and was delighted that it was such a positive experience and outcome.
8 weeks post surgery – beyond delighted with my results
I am now 8 weeks post surgery after a labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction. I am beyond delighted with my results and the experience with Miss Brehna and her team.
I am 49 years old and have been contemplating this surgery for a long time. I have always been unhappy with the aesthetic, but for the last 10 years I have also suffered physical problems as a result of my large labia.
Prior to my surgery I had 2 appointments with Miss Breahna and she was very thorough in her explanation of the surgery. She showed me lots of pictures and described the potential complications of surgery as well as the potential advantages. I felt very well informed when I made my decision to proceed with the surgery.
On the day of the surgery I was a bit nervous about having a local anaesthetic and being fully awake for the surgery. I was given a numbing cream before the surgery and I didn’t feel a thing when the anaesthetic was administered. I need not have worried about being awake as Miss Breahna’s all-female theatre team were lovely and chatted with me all the way through. The very good thing about having a local anaesthetic is that it lasts for a few hours afterwards and lets you get home in comfort!
Following the surgery I took the prescribed painkillers for 24 hours post surgery, then I did not need them after that. I followed all the post-operative advice exactly. I stayed in bed, totally off my feet for 3 days after the surgery, watching films and box sets!! I then took it really easy for the remainder of the first week. During week 2 I worked from home and took it easy, but felt fine. During weeks 2-6 I didn’t feel very restricted at all, but refrained from exercise and sexual relations, as per the advice. From week 6 I have resumed all activities. A very unexpected result of my surgery is the improved sensation and sensitivity of my clitoral area as a result of the clitoral hood reduction.
My biggest worry before the surgery was the potential for pain. I honestly found the whole experience to be relatively painless. After taking the painkillers for 24 hours I had no pain or stinging at all and only really had discomfort for a week or so. By 2 weeks post-surgery I was not restricted by discomfort.
I followed all the advice I was given about post-surgical hygiene. I wore supportive, surgical underwear and sanitary towels initially, showered after going to the toilet and applied the antibiotic cream and post-surgical spray for 2 weeks. I then applied sudcrem to the stitched area for a short while, then started massaging the scars with Aveeno baby cream. Looking back, I think the most significant thing about having the surgery is the time investment. You do have to be willing to invest time in your recovery – take it easy for a while and follow all the hygiene advice, which can be time consuming.
Having cosmetic surgery can be an enormous decision. Miss Breahna is a very skilled and diligent surgeon and has a lovely manner. The results are beyond what I expected and I am very grateful to Miss Breahna and her team for the positive experience of a very personal and intimate surgery. The worst part of the process was the years I spent worrying whether or not to have it!
I had a labiaplaasty surgery with Miss Breahna, which was a revision following an NHS labiaplasty performed 15 years ago. Having had a bad experience in the past, I was especially anxious about the healing process and the aesthetics of the final result. Miss Breahna and her team were very understanding and she was very patient with me while needing quite a lot of reassurance and aftercare during the healing process. It took a long time for me to work up the courage to have surgery again but I’m very glad that I did and I’m thrilled with the results both in terms of look and function, which I’m sure will only improve as we continue past the now 2 months mark. I’ve already recommended Miss Breahna’s clinic to a friend considering the surgery.
I received a labiaplasty from Anca, this was something I was considering for years. After doing my due diligence, I emailed Anca’s surgery and shortly after, I had my initial consultation. I immediately felt at ease and knew that I was in the right hands (despite having a number of surgeons located closer to me). Leading upto the surgery, the support was second to none, to the point where I had very little nerves on the day. Anca and her nurses were pleasant, informative, empathetic, essentially everything you need on the day considering what’s actually about to happen. I felt no pain during the surgery and my recovery was surprisingly easy. Every concern / question was followed up with a phone call / email response directly from Anca. The only regret I have with this is not doing it sooner. I’m more than happy with my results and I would recommend Anca to anyone.
I had a labiaplasty with Ms Anca, from start to finish the whole experience was amazing ! Ms Anca made me feel totally at ease from my very first appointment answering any questions in depth. I had the procedure done under local anaesthetic and didn’t feel a thing, I was back home resting within a few hours ! Ms Anca rang me at home the next day to check up on me and see how I was feeling, the pain wasn’t bad at all and after the first day I didn’t need anymore pain relief! I’d do it all again in a heartbeat ! She really is a professional and I’m so happy with my results
Labiaplasty Under Local Anaesthetic
I had a labiaplasty performed by Miss Breanna in November 2022. I chose Anca because I wanted the procedure carried out under local anaesthetic and not general and she does this as routine. Right from the start she was very open and honest about the possible risks and complications and also what kind of results I could expect. She answered all my concerns and I felt confident and comfortable going into the operating room if not a little anxious about what to expect during the procedure. The atmosphere in theatre was light hearted and relaxed and relaxed spent the whole hour chatting away to the assisting nurses whilst the procedure was carried out. I was very sore the first night but was sent home with codeine which kept me comfortable for the first 24 hours after which things settled and paracetamol was sufficient. I’m really glad I went ahead with the procedure and would highly recommend Anca to anyone considering a labiaplasty.
Anca is amazing. I swear she has magic fingers! August 2021 I had Labiaplasty and she completely exceeded my expectations. From the first moment we met, to the surgery and finally the post op consultations she was so caring and attentive, I was sad to know I won’t be seeing her any time soon. Everything was addressed in the first consultation; pros, cons, expectations, surgery options and recovery. She was so easy to contact at any moment. I had the easiest recovery and that’s with thanks to Anca being so thorough and her incredible skills. I honestly can’t thank her enough.
The Perfect Choice for Me
Having been unhappy with the appearance of my intimate area since my mid-teens and feeling discomfort during certain activities, I discovered Ms Breahna following extensive online research.
From the first moment I was put totally at ease by her in a very relaxed and easy consultation. Guided by Ms Breahna I opted for labiaplasty of the labia minora and labia majora and also reduction of the clitoral hood. I was shown photos of her previous work and any risks involved were clearly explained. The extent of my surgery would necessitate a general anaesthetic and I went into the operation feeling calm and confident that all would be well. Everything went smoothly and afterwards, only minimal pain relief was needed. I had no bruising whatsoever though I did apply ice packs at home as advised.
I am absolutely thrilled with the results, my only regret being that I left it so long. Ms Breahna’s secretary is most helpful and a pleasure to deal with which only adds to what could otherwise be a daunting experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ms. Breahna and couldn’t be happier with my choice of surgeon.
I cannot recommend Ms Anca Breahna highly enough. I underwent labiaplasty surgery after a botched procedure 10 years before I decided to have this corrected. Ms Anca is an expectional surgeon and far exceeded my expectations of what I thought was possible, Ms Anca has truly changed my life after suffering for years with issues about the appearance of my labia. The communication before the surgery was first class, I was made to feel totally at ease and very well informed, my surgery took place under local anesthetic, Ms Anca and her team were absolutely amazing during the procedure helping me to feel 100% relaxed and reassuring me during the entirety of the surgery. The aftercare provided by Ms Anca was second to none, I was seen after the procedure at very short notice as I had a concern, Ms Anca made arrangements to see me right away and reassure me that everything was perfectly fine. If you are considering this surgery I would whole heartedly recommend Ms Anca, she is so talented and I could not have chose a better surgeon to carry out my procedure. Thank you Ms Anca and my extended thanks to your team, you have truly changed my life and the the whole experience from start to finish was faultless.
Local anaesthesia allowed for a quick, painless labiaplasty surgery
I had an amazing experience. The surgery itself was incredible and I had no worries before or after the procedure. The local anaesthesia allowed for a quick, painless surgery and is something I’d highly recommend.
I recently went to Anca for a labiaplasty (I am now 12 weeks post op) this is something I have been self conscious about for many years and have found really uncomfortable to talk about. After years of research I finally booked up the courage to book a few consultations to discuss in further detail and to see if it was a procedure I was sure I wanted to go ahead with. My first appointment was with Anca she went into so much detail, she shown me before and after pictures of her own work, she asked what the end result aim was for me so she could help me understand if those expectations were realistic, I was made to feel so comfortable and for the first time not embarrassed to talk about my concerns. This was my first and only initial consultation as I cancelled the rest because I knew Anca was the surgeon I wanted to go with for this procedure and I knew I would get the best results with her. She sent me away with a pack full of information and a lot to think about from our discussion and booked in a second consultation 2 weeks later because she wanted to give me time to think of any additional concerns or questions and to make the decision if this procedure was right for me! I found this to be so comforting she wasn’t just trying to get me booked in and out there was no rush I felt very in control. After a few more consultations we finally had a date booked, I felt so educated in how the procedure would go and what to expect I wasn’t even nervous and I was overwhelmed with excitement at the thought of being confident again. The date of the operation came I arrived at the Nuffield hospital and was made to feel so welcome. I opted to go for local anaesthetic I took earphones along with me as I was imaging sounds like from a horror film, I couldn’t have been more wrong! When in the theatre room I was accompanied by Anca and 2 of the nurses Claire and Caroline who were absolutely amazing I felt so relaxed even to the point we were all chatting about love island and having a laugh and joke! It was almost Asif I was having a pedicure! Anca and the nurses were constantly checking I was ok and making sure i had no discomfort or pain, I honestly can’t praise them enough! Time went so fast when Anca told me it was all done I was gutted as I was having such a good time haha! I was then put in a rest room and they provided me with tea and toast and I sat there for a hour or so with the nurses popping in to check I was ok and If I needed anything which was lovely. My mum arrived to pick me up and nurse kindly walked me to the door and gave me contact details to call if an concerns which made me feel at ease. The day after my operation Anca personally called me to check all was ok which I thought was really above and beyond! I had a check up at the hospital for the stitches the week after which Anca wasn’t there for so she rang me that night to again check all was ok and make sure I wasn’t experiencing anything out of the ordinary! The follow up consultations we’re then scheduled after every visit so she could monitor the progress! I honestly could not be happier with the result to say it’s changed my life is an understatement! Anca was absolutely amazing from start to finish and I can’t thank her enough! I would 100% recommend Anca and if I was to ever want a procedure or advice again in the future I wouldn’t hesitate to visit Anca for this!!
2 months post-op labiaplasty – happy with my results so far
I couldn’t recommend Anca enough. She instantly put me at ease and I knew straight away I wanted her to be my surgeon. I chose to stay awake for my surgery, which I was very nervous about, but I had absolutely nothing to worry about because Anca and her staff were so incredibly lovely and calming throughout. I am extremely happy with my results so far and I would recommend her to anyone considering a labiaplasty.
Amazing Results !
I underwent labiaplasty using the wedge technique. I have hated the appearance of my labia minora for as long as I can remember. Even though I am a confident person I have always felt a deep embarrassment. I also had the usual discomfort when wearing tight clothes and exercising. I did plenty of research about the procedure. I was fearful of it going wrong – that’s why finding the right surgeon was my priority. I had a few consultations with well known and respected plastic surgeons in Manchester none of them filled me with confidence. I found Ms Breahna – probably from yet another extensive google search. I arranged a consultation though her lovely secretary Claire. Ms Breahna knowledge and experience shone above those I had seen before. I felt that as a women she seemed to really care and understand what I wanted to achieve. Aesthetics were of course important but so was functionality. We discussed the options and I went for the wedge technique. Post op – I took paracetamol for the first day but actually didn’t need it. I rested in bed until day three and just took it really easy after that – more so to ensure I healed well. I worked from home for two weeks and then back to normal. No pain no discomfort whatsoever! The results – I’m writing this 3 months post-op and I am so happy. There are no visible scars no tenderness and the aesthetics are perfect! I only wish I had done this sooner. I feel so much more confident I no longer have that inner feeling of embarrassment like I’m hiding some deformity. Please if you are thinking of having the procedure you must see Ms Breahna.
I would recommend Dr Breahna without hesitation.
Dr Breahna made me feel at ease from the moment I first met her. From the initial consultation right through to the after care follow up appointment, it was clear that her main priority was my well being.
My labiaplasty was done at Nuffield Chester under local anaesthetic. I spent the procedure awake and having a good laugh and a natter with the surgery staff. Recovery was so much faster that I anticipated. I took pain killers for 36 hours after surgery to make it slightly comfier. After that time I took no more. I rested for about a week and then resumed my desk job. A few weeks later I was cleared to go back to exercising.
I would recommend Dr Breahna without hesitation. The procedure has changed how I feel about my body and my self confidence has rocketed.
Life-changing Labiaplasty
Six weeks following my Labiaplasty surgery I could not be happier with the results. Miss Breahna was amazing throughout, I trusted her ability every step of the way.
I had elongated, asymmetrical and dark discoloured labia minora and at 28 years old was extremely self conscious of my appearance ‘down there’.
I went for my consultation and knew instantly that I wanted to have the procedure carried out having met Anca.
On the morning of my procedure I arrived at the hospital and was greeted by a really friendly nurse who instructed me to apply Emla numbing cream half an hour before my operation, this was to dull the initial pain of the local anaesthetic injection. It really did help a lot, it was only perhaps 2 mins of slight discomfort while the anaesthetic was injected. The nurses help to distract me through the procedure as I think it was roughly two hours long. The day of the surgery I came home and suffered from an uncomfortable burning sensation due to the swelling but followed all the advice I had been given – being particular careful to do basically nothing for the first 3-5 days – resting on the sofa and being looked after by relatives.
I am 100% glad that I have had this procedure done – it is life-changing and would recommend Anca Breahna.
I Would Strongly Reccomend Miss Breahna!
I had my labiaplasty done under local anesthesia. The procedure took about an hour and my total stay in hospital was about 2.5 hours. Both Miss Breahna and the 2 assisting nurses were extremley supportive and professional during my visit. I have throught about getting this procedure done for over 10 years but I have never had the courage to go through with it until now. As a result I got a bit emotional before the procedure. Miss Breahna and her colleagues were very quick to comfort me and reassured me everything would be okay.
Miss Breahna is very professional and from the very first consultation I felt I was in safe hands. She always made sure to keep me informed has provided excellent after care. The result is looking better than I could ever have imagined! It looks really natural and I could not praise Miss Breahna enough! She is a fantastic surgeon and the care she provided me is outstanding!
