What Is A Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is procedure that allows your plastic surgeon to shorten the length of the labia minora otherwise known as the "little lips" or inner vaginal lips. The elongation of the labia minora can cause tugging or pulling during exercise, intercourse, or simply wearing certain clothing. This can cause a lot of irritation and discomfort which can be alleviated with a labiaplasty.

How Long Is Labiaplasty Recovery?

Recovery from labiaplasty surgery is minimum, usually patients are able to return to work 3 - 4 days after surgery. However, patients must avoid cardiovascular activity and anything penetrative which includes tampons and intercourse for about 6 weeks or until they’ve been cleared by their plastic surgeon. It's normal to experience swelling or soreness after the surgery, but this will subside over time. Visit our recovery resources for more aftercare guidance.

It is important to understand that each patient is unique and your recovery time can depend on a variety of factors.

  • Enhancement: Immediate
  • 70% Swelling reduction: 2 - 4 weeks
  • Full Settling and recovery: 3 months
