Labia Surgery

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of the labia minora or labia majora, aiming to enhance the appearance, comfort, and functionality of the vaginal area. The procedure typically involves trimming excess tissue or reshaping the labia via the wedge method. It's usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation, and the surgery takes about 1 to 2 hours.

  • Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort around the vaginal area. It's important to keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight clothing, and refrain from sexual activity and strenuous exercise for about six weeks. Ice packs and prescribed pain relief can help manage discomfort.

  • Risks include infection, bleeding, changes in sensation, asymmetry, scarring, and dissatisfaction with aesthetic outcomes. Rarely, patients may experience prolonged pain or nerve damage.

  • A medical evaluation, including a discussion of medical history, allergies, and current medications, is conducted prior to surgery. No extensive testing is usually required unless there are specific health concerns.
