What is Labiaplasty?
Who May Benefit
• Those seeking a more symmetrical appearance.
• Women noticing changes in their labia after childbirth.
• Individuals wanting to alter the appearance or function of their vagina.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
Everyday discomfort
Individuals that suffer from physical discomfort due to the size or shape of their labia.
Pregnancy
Suitable for those that have completed their families/are not planning any future pregnancies as future vaginal birth can impact the vagina.
Discomfort during intercourse
Individuals that suffer from pain and/or discomfort during activities like exercise or intercourse.
Aesthetic Goals
Those that wish to change the aesthetic appearance of their most intimate area.
How is the procedure performed?
Anaesthesia Administration
The procedure typically begins with the administration of local anesthesia for patient comfort during the surgery.
Surgical Techniques
The surgeon then uses various techniques, such as excision or reduction, to reshape the labia according to the patient's desired outcomes.
Closing the Incisions
Once the excision or reduction is complete the surgeon will use sutures or stitches to close the incision. These may be dissolvable or non-dissolvable depending on the patient and the surgeon. This will be decided and discussed before surgery.
What is the Recovery like?
- Expect some swelling and discomfort; medication and cold compresses can help.
- Limit physical activity for two weeks to promote proper healing.
- Avoid sexual intercourse and tampons during the early recovery phase.
- Complete recovery typically occurs within six to eight weeks with follow-ups.
