The most common procedure is labiaplasty.
Large inner labia can cause mechanical friction and pain, making physical activities and intercourse uncomfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare for the procedure?
Preparing for intimate surgery is important for a successful outcome and smooth recovery.
Weeks before the procedure:
· During the consultation with our surgeon, your health and suitability for the procedure will be assessed. Discuss your wishes and expectations with the surgeon. You may be asked to undergo various laboratory tests and other examinations to confirm your health. Discuss with the surgeon about the medications and nutritional supplements you are taking. Certain medications (e.g. blood thinners, aspirin, ibuprofen), and some dietary supplements (e.g. Omega) may increase the risk of bleeding. Their use should be discontinued according to the surgeon’s instructions.
· Smoking impairs blood circulation and slows down wound healing. We recommend that you stop smoking at least 4 weeks before the procedure and continue to be smoke-free after the procedure.
· Eat a varied and healthy diet and exercise regularly. Good general fitness promotes recovery.
On the day of the procedure:
· Avoid alcohol at least 24 hours before the procedure, as alcohol can increase the risk of bleeding
· Choose loose and comfortable clothing that is easy to put on and take off.
· Take the medications your surgeon has instructed you to take in the morning.
· If you are given sedatives, you will not be able to drive yourself. So arrange a ride home.
How does the procedure proceed?
During the consultation, you will be given an appointment time for the procedure. Arrive punctually. A nurse will greet you and go through the procedure with you. If necessary, you will receive sedative premedication and pain medication and you will be prepared for the procedure.
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and you will be discharged home after a short follow-up.
After the procedure, you can recover in peace in the aftercare room, where the operating room nurse will go through the aftercare instructions with you and book you a time for a check-up.
What are the aftercare instructions?
Wounds generally heal quickly, and normal daily life is usually possible a few days or about a week after the procedure. The wound is showered and dried carefully morning and evening and with each visit to the toilet for 1-2 weeks, then as usual. You can use a regular menstrual pad as protection. After the surgery, you will receive antibiotic protection according to the surgeon’s instructions. Any removable stitches will be removed in 10-14 days.
Contact a doctor if the wound starts to become red, swollen, hot, or oozes pus, or if the pain gets worse or is not relieved by painkillers.
