What is a labiaplasty surgery, and why is it done?
Labiaplasty, commonly known as labia reduction surgery, is done for a variety of reasons.
Suppose your labia minora protrudes beyond your labia majora. In that case, you may have painful sexual intercourse, pain from twisting or tugging of the labia during physical activities such as biking, general itching and irritation, and personal dissatisfaction with the appearance of your labia minora. Surgery to reduce the size of the labia minora can increase sexual pleasure, relieve pain, and make you feel more confident about your vaginal look.
Questions you should ask your doctor before labiaplasty?
The first session is an excellent opportunity for patients to discuss any questions concerning labial reduction with their doctors. Patients may find it helpful to write down any questions they have before the consultation.
Here are some general questions that patients might want to ask:
- Are your expectations reasonable?
- When will sex be possible after labiaplasty?
- Is there a chance that the labia or groin will feel different following surgery?
- What is the process of recovery after labiaplasty?
- How bad will the pain be following the surgery?
- After surgery, what kind of scarring can be expected on the labia?
- To see before and after photographs, make a request.
- Will it have an impact on your ability to have children?
How to recover after labiaplasty

- Maintain the area clean and infection-free.
- Wear loose underwear and clothing to avoid friction.
- Abstain from sex for around six weeks.
- 6 to 12 weeks of minimum physical activity.

How to prepare for Labiaplasty
A few things to follow before labiaplasty surgery are:
- Choose the right doctor. While cosmetic vaginal surgeries can be done by both- gynecologists and plastic surgeons, it is best if you do a thorough read on your health, discomfort, needs, and expectations. Based on the same, choose a doctor that best suits your needs. Typically, an Ob-gynecologist trained in cosmetic gynecology is the safest choice
- Discuss your current health, medication, vitamin, and supplements thoroughly with your doctor. In case you are on blood thinners, your doctor would ask you to stop taking them a few days before surgery. They are known to increase the risk of excessive bleeding.
- Doctors advise abstaining from sex for a month before the procedure.
- Avoid eating or drinking anything post-midnight before the surgery. It helps avoid any complications related to anesthesia.
- Take enough rest before the surgery so that the body is fully prepared for the procedure. Get at least 9 hours of sleep.
- Do not shave the surgical site yourself. A simple cut could risk unwanted infection and septic.
What are the possible risks/ side effects of Labiaplasty?
Risks or side effects are extremely rare with advancements in medical sciences. In fact, LASER labiaplasty reduces the risk of complications to less than 5%.
However, as with any surgery, your body takes some time to heal itself. Some of the possible side effects during this time include-
- Mild bleeding
- Infection
- Hematoma
- Temporary numbness
- Chronic dryness
- Decreased sensitivity around the vulva
- Mild discomfort during sexual intercourse in the initial days of the recovery
All these side effects and risks are easily manageable with the post-operative instructions prescribed by the doctor. However, if the itching, swelling or bleeding persists even after a week, please consult your gynecologist immediately. It could be a sign of a yeast or bacterial infection. It could also be an allergic reaction to a medication. In such a case, you would need added medications.
How to recover after Labiaplasty?
- Doctors advise the following tips to quickly recover after labiaplasty:
- Take complete bed rest for the first 24 hours.
