What to Expect on the Day
During the consultation we will decide together whether the procedure is to address the labia majora, the labia minora or a combination of both – however, treating the inner lips is more common. The surgery will involve making an appropriate cut in the labia: along the labia, by making a v-shape or by trimming skin and tissue from the surface of the labia. This will enable the right amount of skin and tissue to be removed in order to reduce the amount of protrusion.
The labiaplasty can be used as part of a mummy makeover procedure, to help improve the appearance of the body following pregnancy and childbirth, or alongside vaginoplasty when addressing the overall functioning of the vagina.
Treatment Time
Labiaplasty usually takes around 1.5 hours. At Real Plastic Surgery we use a general anaesthetic and you should be able to go home the same day.
Downtime
You may need to take 1 - 2 weeks off work with most people having significantly recovered within 6 weeks.
Reasonable Mobility
Most patients can move around gently the same day, but should avoid strenuous activity.
Sport & Exercise
You may need to avoid strenuous exercise and the gym for approx. 6 - 8 weeks.
Driving
Driving is generally possible after one to two weeks, once you are comfortable.
Shower
You can usually shower after 48 hours, but baths, swimming, and hot tubs should be avoided until fully healed.
Full Recovery
Full recovery from labiaplasty surgery takes around 6 to 8 weeks, with swelling continuing to improve over several months.
Maintenance
In most cases 1 procedure can produce long-term results.
Reason for doing this?
To improve the appearance of the vagina, as well as to reduce any discomfort.
Reasons to Avoid
If you have any doubts. Our team of experts will provide support and guidance all the way through your treatment journey; using the consultation to determine your suitability and your certainty.
Showering After a Labiaplasty
The team at REAL plastic surgery will give you appropriate advice before you go home from the clinic, but in many cases, a person can usually shower 24 hours after surgery.
Follow Up and Aftercare
It is important to remain mobile while you are healing from labiaplasty. We will also give you suitable pain relief advice and instruct you on the best way to care for your wounds. Follow up appointments will be made 1 week, 3 weeks and 3 months after surgery so we can closely monitor your healing and recovery.
