Gynaecological intimate surgery

Restore your intimate confidence

What is gynaecological intimate surgery?

We understand how important wellbeing and confidence are in every aspect of your life. Dr Baltà, a gynaecological surgeon in Mallorca, provides a confidential, respectful, and professional environment to address your personal aesthetic and functional concerns.

Gynaecological intimate surgery (also called vulvovaginal plastic surgery) plays a central role in treating both aesthetic concerns and functional issues that can impact a woman’s quality of life. Its primary aim is to restore balance, improve appearance, and enhance the function of the genital area.

Labiaplasty involves the reduction or reshaping of the labia minora or labia majora. It is performed to reduce size, reshape or correct asymmetry of the labia minora (and in some cases the labia majora). It may be indicated for functional reasons – such as discomfort with clothing or during sport or sexual activity – or for aesthetic reasons when the patient desires a more proportionate and harmonious appearance.

Approximate duration:

  • Between 45 and 60 minutes.

Length of hospital stay:

  • Day surgery: The patient is discharged on the same day after one to two hours of postoperative observation.

Insurance coverage:

  • This procedure is not covered by health insurance, as it is considered an intimate or aesthetic surgery. A personalised hospital quotation must therefore be requested.

Preoperative steps:

  • Initial consultation for personalised assessment, discussion of expectations and surgical planning.
  • Basic preoperative tests: blood tests and ECG (floor -1, no appointment required).
  • Consultation with the anaesthetist, as the procedure is performed under sedation combined with local anaesthesia.

Recovery and time off work:

  • Initial recovery is usually from 5 to 7 days, with mild discomfort and some swelling. Physical exercise, tight clothing and sexual intercourse should be avoided for approximately 4 weeks. Return to work is usually possible within 7 to 10 days, depending on your occupation.

Postoperative follow-up:

  • First review at 10 to 15 days to assess healing.
  • Second review at one month to confirm full recovery and results.

Hymenoplasty is the reconstruction of the hymen, a thin membrane located at the vaginal opening. The procedure partially or completely reconstructs the hymen and is performed for personal, cultural or symbolic reasons. It does not have a medical indication as such.

Approximate duration:

  • From 30 to 45 minutes.

Length of hospital stay:

  • Day surgery. The patient may leave after a brief observation period.

Insurance coverage:

  • Not covered by health insurance; private hospital quotation required.

Preoperative steps:

  • Discreet and confidential consultation with the surgeon.
  • Basic blood tests and ECG (floor -1, no appointment required).
  • Consultation with the anaesthetist, as the procedure is performed under sedation combined with local anaesthesia.

Recovery and time off work:

  • Recovery is very fast. Careful hygiene is recommended, and sexual intercourse, prolonged bathing and intense physical activity should be avoided for 3 to 4 weeks. Time off work is usually not required.

Postoperative follow-up:

  • Review at 10 to 15 days to assess healing, with an optional review at one month at the patient’s request.

Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to restore vaginal tone and support, improving both function and appearance.

The surgery reinforces and tightens the vaginal canal, helping to improve muscle strength and function after childbirth or as a result of ageing. It may also be carried out for reconstructive purposes in cases of anatomical changes or following previous surgery. It improves comfort and sexual wellbeing.

Approximate duration:

  • Between 60 and 90 minutes.

Length of hospital stay:

  • Usually day surgery, although an overnight stay may be required in some cases.

Insurance coverage:

  • Not usually covered, as it is considered functional or aesthetic intimate surgery. A personalised quotation is required.

Preoperative steps:

  • Initial consultation with surgeon for anatomical assessment, examination and planning of the desired degree of correction.
  • Preoperative tests: blood tests, ECG and consultation with anaesthetist.

Recovery and time off work:

  • Initial recovery lasts 7 to 10 days, with mild discomfort and possible swelling. Some rest is recommended, and sexual intercourse should be avoided for 6 to 8 weeks. Return to work is usually possible within 7 to 10 days, depending on your occupation

Postoperative follow-up:

  • First review at 10 to 15 days to assess healing.
  • Second review at 4 to 6 weeks to assess functional recovery.
