Labiaplasty in Dr. Rafael Martins – plastic surgery
About the clinic
Labiaplasty at Dr. Rafael Martins Plastic Surgery in Florianópolis, Brazil, corrects asymmetries and reduces the size of the small labia to improve comfort and aesthetics. Led by Dr. Rafael Martins, a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery with over 15 years of experience, the clinic uses advanced recovery protocols. Patients benefit from a procedure that typically lasts one hour and often allows for same-day discharge from the hospital.
Surgery Details and Methods
Also known as ninfoplastia, this procedure helps women who experience pain during intercourse or discomfort when wearing tight clothing. Dr. Rafael Martins performs the surgery at Hospital Baía Sul to maintain high safety standards. The medical team typically uses spinal or epidural anesthesia with sedation. In some cases, local anesthesia is an option for patients. Beyond aesthetics, the surgery helps with hygiene and protects the vaginal entrance by properly shaping the labia.
Dr. Rafael Martins has performed over 2,000 surgeries throughout his career. He specializes in both general plastic surgery and intimate aesthetic procedures. His membership in the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) confirms his adherence to recognized surgical standards. The clinic also provides support for international patients in English and Spanish.
Recovery and Results
The recovery process follows a specific timeline to help patients return to their daily routines quickly. The Fast Track Recovery protocol helps manage post-operative comfort. Most patients follow these milestones:
- Return to work: Most patients can return to non-physical jobs within 3 days.
- Healing: Swelling and bruising usually resolve within 14 days.
- Physical activity: Patients must avoid friction in the genital area and strenuous exercise during the early healing phase.
- Sexual activity: Patients may resume sexual intercourse after at least 21 days.
The resulting scars are very discreet due to the natural characteristics of the skin in the treated area. Dr. Rafael Martins provides specific instructions on hygiene products and aftercare to support the healing process. Temporary changes in sensitivity may occur but generally stabilize during the recovery period.

Specialized Breast Procedures
The clinic's signature offering is the 24h Recovery breast implant technique. This method uses Fast Track Recovery protocols to speed up return to daily life. Surgeons place the implant partially under the muscle for a smooth transition.

For patients who need both volume and lifting, the clinic offers mastopexy with implants. This procedure combines breast repositioning and augmentation in one session. It requires general anesthesia and a 12- to 24-hour hospital stay.
Body Contouring and Intimate Surgery
The clinic offers High Definition Liposuction (Lipo HD) for precise body contouring. This technique follows the patient's muscle anatomy to define specific body areas. It is often applied to the abdomen to enhance muscle visibility.

- Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and repair separated abdominal muscles.
- Labiaplasty to reduce the small vaginal labia and correct asymmetries.
- Panniculectomy for patients who need removal of large skin aprons.
