Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty also referred to as labioplasty, is a surgical procedure that will reduce and/or reshape the labia minora - the skin that covers the female clitoris and vaginal opening.

Preparation before surgery

  Stop smoking and consuming alcohol for at least a week before surgery. Talk to your surgeon about ways to quit smoking for good.

Your plastic surgeon will likely suggest that you stop taking certain medications, including aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and blood thinners, all of which can increase bleeding risk.

Certain herbal remedies may also increase bleeding risk. Just because a product or preparation is "all-natural" does not mean it is safe. For example, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, green tea and gingko biloba all may increase bleeding risk during and after surgery.

Make sure you tell your surgeon about everything that you are taking. Never stop taking any medication abruptly without first speaking to your doctor.

Do not have sexual intercourse the night before the surgery.

Surgical procedure

During surgery, larger or uneven inner vaginal lips are cut and shortened using specialized scissors, a scalpel or a laser. In addition, the labia majora, on the outside of the body, can be reduced with either surgery or liposuction if needed. A hoodectomy, which exposes the clitoris in an attempt to increase sexual stimulation, may be performed at the same time.

The appropriate incision location depends on many individual factors, including the configuration, texture and size of the labia. The doctor will then suture the incision closed with dissolvable stitches.

Post-Operative Care

After surgery, you can't have intercourse for about four weeks, and your genitals will be tender and swollen for several weeks. Clean the incision site with hydrogen peroxide and put antibiotic cream/ointment on daily. Your stitches should dissolve within 2-2 ½ weeks. Swelling and tenderness should disappear within 6 weeks. Oral medications can reduce pain. Oral antibiotics may be prescribed to reduce the risk of infection. You will be asked to stop any heavy, strenuous exercise for three or more weeks after surgery. Also you cannot use tampons for 10 days afterward. While recovering, you will need to wear a pad for one week or less, due to the bleeding that results.

Possible Risk and Complication

As with any surgical procedure there are certain risks. While few, the most common can include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, and scarring. Although these events are usually infrequent, they sometimes can occur. These will be discussed with you during the consultation for your procedure.
