Most patients experience only mild to moderate discomfort after a labiaplasty, which can be effectively managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. Swelling, tenderness, and slight bruising are common during the first few days, but these symptoms usually improve quickly. Keeping the area clean, avoiding strenuous activity, and following post-operative instructions will help minimize discomfort and support a smooth recovery.

Patients have an initial consultation, the surgical procedure itself, and one or more follow-up appointments. The first follow-up is usually scheduled within the first week to assess recovery and remove any sutures if necessary, and additional follow-ups may occur around the two- to six-week mark to monitor healing, address any concerns, and ensure the final results are on track.

You should be able to see the new size and shape of your labia approximately two weeks after your labiaplasty. Once the swelling subsides, the final results will become visible.

Yes, labiaplasty can be combined with other procedures for a more comprehensive outcome. Common combinations include other forms of vaginal rejuvenation, breast augmentation, or mommy makeovers. Combining procedures enables coordinated results, reduces overall recovery time, and addresses multiple aesthetic or functional concerns in a single surgical session.

As with any surgery, labiaplasty carries potential risks. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, mild discomfort, and temporary numbness in the treated area. Less common risks may include infection, scarring, asymmetry, or delayed healing. Patients with pre-existing medical conditions, smokers, or those with poor wound-healing tendencies may face a higher risk of complications.
