About the Labiaplasty Procedure

During a labiaplasty and depending on why it’s being done, your surgeon either:

• Removes some tissue from the labia to reduce its size.
• Injects a filler material or fat into the labia to enlarge it.

This procedure is performed by a plastic surgeon under general anesthesia and in a hospital setting where you will go home the same day or in the plastic surgeon’s office.

Labiaplasty is a standard gynecologic surgical procedure that takes about 60 minutes with you spending about an hour in the recovery room where you are monitored for any postoperative complications

Recovery

After your surgery there will be some pain and discomfort. Your physician will prescribe medication to relieve pain and antibiotics to prevent infection. You will also be instructed to refrain from exercise and sexual intercourse for at least 6 weeks or until you heal completely. This is very important, sexual activity may cause tearing and incomplete or delayed healing.
