Labia Reduction (labiaplasty) and Cosmetic Enhancement Procedure
Labia Reduction and Cosmetic Enhancement diminishes the size or alters the shape of the small lips on the outside of your vagina (the labia minora). It typically takes Dr. Davidson one to two hours to complete and after an hour resting in the recovery room, you will be able to go home.
A short-acting, conscious sedation will render you unconscious and ensure greater comfort for you during the procedure. Because the sedation is short-acting, you will awaken within minutes after the labiaplasty surgery is complete.
Labiaplasty Recovery
Any discomfort you experience should disappear after the first few days, and you can expect to be fully healed in approximately six weeks. Sutures are absorbable and therefore do not need to be removed.
Most women return to work within two to four days after their labiaplasty surgery. Should you need longer to recover, we are happy to provide a medical excuse letter for work upon request. Dr. Davidson advises against strenuous exercise for at least four weeks or more and you will usually be able to resume sexual activity six to eight weeks after the procedure.
