\"Labiaplasty,Female genitalia surgery is becoming increasingly popular for both cosmetic and functional reasons.\u00a0 Women who experience painful sex or have trouble inserting a tampon are good candidates for labiaplasty surgery, as well as women who are uncomfortable with the appearance of their labia.<\/p>\n

Immediately After Surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most patients only spend about fifteen minutes in Post-Op recovery.\u00a0 Because the anesthesia is still effective for about two hours after surgery, most patients walk out of office free of pain.\u00a0 Wear a feminine pad to absorb blood and discharge from the plastic surgery<\/a>.\u00a0 Once the anesthesia wears off, it is normal to experience discomfort and swelling.\u00a0 Using an ice pack against the vulva area is encouraged.\u00a0 Patients will be prescribed a narcotic pain medication, which can be taken along with other over the counter inflammatory medication.<\/p>\n

Recovery During the First Week<\/strong><\/p>\n

Patients with desk jobs can typically return to work in about a week, but be mindful of keeping your activities light.\u00a0 Avoid heavy lifting, swimming, lifting children, and intensive housework.\u00a0 Patients can drive as they become comfortable with it.\u00a0 Do not insert anything into the vagina for the first six to eight weeks.\u00a0 This includes tampons and abstaining from sex.\u00a0 Patients will be given an estrogen cream to apply that aids the healing process, and this should be the only thing touching the vagina.\u00a0 Wearing loose fitting clothes like boxers or dresses prevents chaffing.<\/p>\n

Weeks 5 through 8 Post Surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n

At this time, the labia is finishing up the healing process.\u00a0 Patients can slowly return to normal physical activity as long as there is no pain or discomfort.\u00a0 Contact your doctor if you encounter any complications like fever, increased swelling, or unusual discharge.<\/p>\n

Long Term Recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Labiaplasty surgery can ease uncomfortable sex and restore confidence in the appearance of a woman\u2019s genitalia.\u00a0 The surgery results in decreased tissue around the labia and improved contour, leaving the patient with rejuvenated genitalia.<\/p>\n
