WHAT IS LABIOPLASTY?
Labiaplasty is a very important procedure, useful for vaginal rejuvenation and correcting the intimate area. It is positive that, recently, aesthetic procedures for the intimate area are no longer a taboo subject; on the contrary, they are increasingly popular and necessary. It is natural for women to want to feel comfortable in their own bodies.
Labiaplasty involves the surgical modification of the length, volume, and appearance of the inner or outer labia, with excellent results both aesthetically and functionally.
WHEN IS LABIOPLASTY NECESSARY?
- when there is an asymmetry of the labia that is aesthetically disturbing
- in the case of very large labia, which cause discomfort (even pain) during daily activities or certain sports
- when it affects intimate life due to pain during sexual intercourse
- after childbirth
- after certain hormonal treatments
- with aging, when the intimate area takes on an aged and flaccid appearance
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO BEFORE LABIOPLASTY SURGERY
- stop anti-inflammatory medication at least 7 days before
- quit smoking if possible, as it hinders the healing process
- avoid undergoing surgery during menstruation
- inform the doctor about any medical conditions (blood pressure issues, vascular or pulmonary diseases, heart attack, diabetes, bleeding disorders, epilepsy, neurological problems, allergies to medications)
- aggressive dieting can delay healing
- avoid viral infections or any kind of infection, otherwise the procedure must be postponed
- blood tests, coagulation times, and a vaginal secretion examination are necessary
HOW LONG DOES LABIOPLASTY TAKE
The procedure lasts between 30 and 45 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RECOVERY AND WHAT TO DO DURING THIS PERIOD
- 2 days after the procedure you can return to work if it does not involve physical effort
- sexual contact should be avoided for 4 weeks after the procedure
- vaginal hygiene must be rigorous
- avoid wearing very tight underwear
- avoid intense physical activities such as running, cycling, or swimming
- a post-operative check-up is required one month after the procedure
