Labiaplasty in São Paulo: how care with Dr. Melissa Amoroso works

Labiaplasty is the surgery that reduces and reshapes the labia minora, the inner folds of the vulva. It is indicated when excess tissue, elongation or asymmetry cause friction, irritation, discomfort in tight clothes, discomfort during intercourse or dissatisfaction with the appearance of the intimate area. It is a delicate, minor procedure, but one with a major impact on the comfort and self-esteem of women who have lived with these complaints for years.

Since 2018, Dr. Melissa Amoroso has dedicated her surgical practice to female intimate surgery, with more than 600 procedures performed and patients from 12 countries. Now, women who live in São Paulo can also have surgery with her without leaving the city: the new location is in Morumbi, at Av. Giovanni Gronchi, 6195, 13th floor.

The idea is simple: to offer patients from São Paulo and from all over Brazil the same technique, the same care and the same follow-up that already define her practice in Curitiba, at Clínica Femi Saúde. In this article, we explain how each step works, from the first WhatsApp message to discharge after recovery.

Closer to you, with the same care as always: that is the idea behind our São Paulo location.

It all starts on WhatsApp. The team gets to know your situation, answers your first questions and schedules an online evaluation by video call. This consultation is not a quick screening: it is a complete medical appointment, with time for you to describe what bothers you, since when and in which situations, and for Dr. Melissa to understand your health history, previous surgeries, pregnancies and current medications.

During the video call, Dr. Melissa explains what labiaplasty involves, the technical options, the type of anesthesia, the expected recovery and what is realistic to expect in terms of results. She also answers the most common questions about pain, scarring and sensitivity. At the end, she advises on the most suitable treatment for your case and presents a personalized quote. The evaluation is based on the conversation, your complaints and your goals.

Once the indication is defined, the surgery is scheduled at the São Paulo location. Before that, the team sends the preparation instructions and the list of pre-operative tests. On the day of the procedure, Dr. Melissa performs the physical exam, confirms the plan outlined in the consultation and gives the final instructions. Labiaplasty is performed with local anesthesia and CO₂ laser on an outpatient basis: you remain awake, with no pain, and go home the same day.

After surgery, the care continues. The team guides you through each phase of recovery, with clear instructions on hygiene, medication, rest and signs that warrant a call. Most patients return to light activities in about 7 days, and physical exercise and sexual intercourse are generally cleared between 4 and 6 weeks, depending on how each case evolves.

Why have surgery in São Paulo with Dr. Melissa?

The main reason is experience concentrated in a single type of surgery. Unlike professionals who perform labiaplasty as one more procedure among dozens, Dr. Melissa has female intimate surgery as the main focus of her surgical practice. This translates into finer planning, a technique refined over hundreds of cases and a careful reading of each patient's expectations.

The second reason is training: a gynecologist with a specialist title from FEBRASGO, a residency at Hospital Universitário Evangélico Mackenzie, a fellowship in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and certification in CO₂ laser. The gynecological perspective ensures that the surgery considers not only the contour, but also the function, sensitivity and health of the area.

The third is convenience. Previously, patients from São Paulo had to travel to Curitiba for surgery. Now, the whole journey can take place in the city, with the same trusted team guiding every step.

What to expect on the day of surgery

Arrive early, with a companion and in comfortable, loose clothes, preferably with cotton underwear. After the physical exam and confirmation of the plan, the area is cleaned and the local anesthesia is applied gently. This is the moment of greatest sensitivity; after it, you feel no pain, only touch or slight pressure.

The duration of the surgery varies according to the technique and any associated procedures, such as clitoral hood reduction, but it generally takes between one and two hours. At the end, you receive the post-operative instructions, the medication prescription and the team's contact details. Since there is no deep sedation, you leave fully alert, but we recommend not driving that day.

Frequent questions from patients in São Paulo

Do I need to go to Curitiba at any point? No. In-person evaluations take place in Curitiba, but patients from São Paulo and other locations have their evaluation online and have surgery at the Morumbi location. Follow-up visits are arranged with the team according to your progress.

What if I also want clitoral hood reduction or treatment of the labia majora? These combinations are common and can be planned in the same video call. When indicated, they are usually performed in the same surgical session, avoiding two surgeries and two recovery periods.

How much does it cost? The price is individual and depends on the technique, the combinations and the plan. It is presented transparently at the end of the evaluation. In general, health insurance plans do not cover labiaplasty, as they consider it an elective procedure.
