Preparation, a well-planned and performed labioplastia, recovery, and adherence to treatment instructions are all important for a great outcome in this women’s wellness procedure.  We counsel our patients extensively before labiaplasty and carefully monitor their healing progress after surgery.

Labiaplasty Recovery Tips

The labia live within a moist environment and face swelling worsened by gravity after labiaplasty surgery.  Staying off your bottom and pelvis as much as possible is probably the most important part of the post-labiaplasty recovery, as you need to minimize swelling pooling within the freshly operated labia. We ask patients to recline, lay flat, or lay on their side as much as possible for at least 1 week after a labiaplasty. We recommend staying away from sitting and standing to minimize swelling.

Besides staying off the pelvis, sitting, and standing, we recommend compression of the treated area after surgery.  Yoga pants or compressive bicycle shorts provide this compression, and should be worn as much as possible for the first week after labiaplasty.  Compression helps manage both post-surgery discomfort and swelling after this treatment.
