Will labiaplasty affect sensitivity?
When performed carefully, labiaplasty is designed to preserve nerve structures. Most patients maintain normal sensation, and some report improved comfort due to reduced irritation.
How long does swelling last after labiaplasty?
Swelling is most noticeable during the first one to two weeks and gradually improves over several weeks. Subtle swelling may persist longer as tissues fully settle.
Is labiaplasty a cosmetic or medical procedure?
Labiaplasty can be both cosmetic and functional. Some patients seek aesthetic refinement, while others pursue surgery to relieve discomfort or irritation caused by excess tissue.
Are the results of labiaplasty permanent?
Results are considered long-lasting, as the removed tissue does not return. However, future factors such as childbirth or aging may influence the area over time.
Can labiaplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes, labiaplasty can be performed alongside other procedures depending on your goals. This will be discussed during your consultation.
When can I resume sexual activity after labiaplasty?
Most patients are advised to wait approximately four to six weeks before resuming sexual activity to allow proper healing.
Will there be visible scarring after labiaplasty?
Incisions are placed within natural folds, and scars are typically minimal and difficult to detect once fully healed.
