Reasons For Choosing Labiaplasty

Even though the benefits of labiaplasty surgery are undeniable, you should arrange a special consultation with your surgeon or other professional doctor before deciding to undergo this operation. During this consultation you should discuss about your complete medical history and about any particular of your genital area.

The operation labiaplasty lasts between 90 and 120 minutes and is a very meticulous one. A magnifying glass will be used for achieving a good result, providing a perfect approximation of the edges of the labia. Avoid short interventions (the ones around 30 minutes) since they can lead to an unpleasant aspect of the labia, discomfort and even pain.

The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. The patient can leave the clinic the same day or later, depending on each case. Resumption of normal activities and work can be done after 5-7 days, while a normal sexual life will be possible about 4-6 weeks after the moment of the operation.

Possible risks associated with the labiaplasty intervention are bleeding, infection, poor healing of incisions, scars and changes in the local sensitivity. Fortunately, all of them are temporary, but there are also the risks associated with the general of local anesthesia.
Local sensitivity of the labia can also be encountered, as well as loss of sensitivity or on the contrary, the occurrence of local pain when the surgical technique used is not optimal, particularly in the fast interventions. The sensitivity of the genital area should be preserved as much as possible in order to maintain the quality of the sexual life after the intervention. In recent years more and more women have become interested in this kind of intervention and require labiaplasty more frequently, the intervention being very common in well developed countries.
