What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the size of the labia minora (inner lips) and, in some cases, the labia majora (outer lips). Women choose this procedure to address concerns such as discomfort, aesthetic preferences, or asymmetry in the genital area.
Why Should I Consider Labiaplasty?
You might consider Labiaplasty if you experience discomfort during physical activities, sexual intercourse, or while wearing tight clothing. Additionally, some women choose this procedure for cosmetic reasons to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
How Does Labiaplasty Work?
During Labiaplasty, the surgeon removes excess tissue from the labia minora or majora, shaping them to your desired size and symmetry. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and the recovery is relatively quick, with minimal scarring.
How Long Will the Results of Labiaplasty Last?
The results of Labiaplasty are permanent. Once the tissue is reshaped, it generally does not return to its original size. However, natural aging and hormonal changes can impact the area over time.

Is Labiaplasty Safe?
Yes, Labiaplasty is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon. As with any surgery, there are risks, but they are minimal when proper care is taken before and after the procedure. We will discuss potential risks and benefits during your consultation.
How Long Does the Labiaplasty Procedure Take?
Labiaplasty typically takes between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the extent of the reshaping required. The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home the same day.
What is the Recovery Time for Labiaplasty?
The recovery time for Labiaplasty varies, but most patients can return to work within 5 to 7 days. However, you should avoid strenuous physical activity and sexual intercourse for about 6 weeks to ensure proper healing.
Does Labiaplasty Hurt?
You may experience some discomfort, swelling, or bruising after the procedure, but the pain is generally manageable with prescribed medications. Local anesthesia ensures that you remain comfortable during the procedure.
Do’s:
- Rest and Recover: Prioritize rest for at least one to two weeks following the surgery. Limit physical activities to prevent complications.
- Pain Management: Use prescribed medications to manage any discomfort, and apply ice packs to the area in the first 48 hours to reduce swelling.
- Follow-Up Care: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process and have any necessary stitches removed.
Don’ts:
- Avoid Intimate Activities: Refrain from sexual intercourse and the use of tampons for at least six weeks post-surgery.
- Physical Strain: Steer clear of strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and activities that could irritate the surgical site for at least four to six weeks.
- Irritants: Avoid soaking in baths or swimming until you receive clearance from your surgeon.
Can I Have Labiaplasty Done on Both Labia Minora and Labia Majora?
Yes, Labiaplasty can address both the labia minora (inner lips) and labia majora (outer lips). If you have concerns about both areas, your surgeon will work with you to determine the best approach to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.
How Do I Prepare for Labiaplasty?
To prepare for Labiaplasty, we will provide pre-operative instructions, which may include stopping certain medications, avoiding smoking, and arranging transportation to and from the clinic. It’s important to follow all instructions carefully to ensure a smooth procedure and recovery.
How Soon Will I See Results After Labiaplasty?
You will notice an immediate improvement in the appearance of your labia right after the procedure. However, it may take a few months for the final results to appear as swelling subsides and healing continues. Full recovery takes about 6 weeks.
