Intimate surgery

Intimate plastic surgery procedures, handled with discretion and sensitivity to restore comfort and confidence.

What is it?

Intimate surgery encompasses plastic surgery procedures on the genital area, most often labiaplasty, which reduces enlarged labia minora that cause physical discomfort (chafing, discomfort during sport or with clothing) and psychological distress. Other intimate restoration and rejuvenation procedures may also be offered. These requests, long considered taboo, are now common and entirely legitimate when genuine discomfort exists. They are received with attentiveness, discretion and professionalism, during a dedicated consultation in which the surgeon explains the possibilities, limitations and recovery for each procedure. The procedures are short, most often performed as day surgery, using absorbable suture techniques that simplify the recovery. These tissues heal quickly and well, with discreet, natural results. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, intimate surgery is handled with absolute respect for confidentiality, by experienced plastic surgeons, with a discreet day-surgery pathway and attentive post-operative follow-up.
Intimate surgery

When is it indicated?

Enlarged labia minora causing physical discomfort

When enlarged labia minora cause genuine daily discomfort, a discreet reduction brings lasting relief.

Discomfort with chafing, sport or clothing

Cycling, sport, fitted clothing: when these situations become uncomfortable, the procedure puts an end to painful chafing.

Psychological distress or discomfort in intimate life

Self-consciousness in intimacy can weigh heavily on well-being; surgical correction helps restore ease and self-confidence.

Marked asymmetry

A clear difference between the two sides can be a source of discomfort; the procedure restores a balanced, natural appearance.

Request for restoration after childbirth

After childbirth, some women wish to restore the changed tissues; appropriate procedures make this possible in complete discretion.
