Labiaplasty is usually performed as an outpatient procedure and done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The techniques used during the procedure will vary depending on the personal needs of the patient. Most women can return to everyday activities within a week or two, though it is recommended that patients refrain from sexual intercourse and strenuous exercise for a bit longer.
Depending on the patient’s concern, any of the following substitute surgeries can be performed:
Women with large labia folds understand the discomfort that they cause, including tugging during sexual intercourse, activities like riding a bike, or wearing tight clothing. Women may also experience low self-confidence to due to their large labia folds, and wish to undergo the procedure for cosmetic reasons. Dr. Shienbaum can address your vaginal appearance and restore it to a more pleasant and comfortable size.
Following surgery, bruising and swelling may occur, and any discomfort can be controlled with medication.

Patients should avoid sexual intercourse for one month. Be sure to follow Dr. Shienbaum’s specific post-op instructions for best results.
