Labiaplasty is one of the procedures most commonly practiced by your surgeon. The procedure is simple and lasts approximately one hour. Your surgeon will excise the mucosa and skin excess to decrease the discomfort of overhanging labias.

During your meeting with your surgeon, he will go over the details of your surgery. The surgery will not diminish your erogenous sensation. Good healing is expected after closure of the incisions, and they will become almost imperceptible after few weeks.

You will be able to resume most of your daily activities in the days following your surgery. You will be able to resume physical activity 4 weeks after the surgery and sexual intercourse 5 weeks after, once healing is complete.

Risks

The risks associated with labiaplasty are minimal. When they occur, they are usually temporary.

The most common complications associated with this surgery include swelling, hematoma, and wound dehiscence. In order to decrease the risk of hematoma, your surgeon will recommend you to stop taking Aspirin or one of its derivatives, at least 10 days before the surgery.

Good hygiene is important to decrease the risks of infection. Taking a shower everyday is highly recommended. Swelling of the vulva and discomfort will disappear in the few days following the surgery. Tylenol will help ease the minor pain following the surgery.

Your surgeon will recommend you to not be involved in intense activities such as sports or sexual intercourse during the weeks following the surgery in order to decrease the risk of complications. You will be able to discuss the risks of the procedure with your surgeon.
