Female genital plastic surgery/ Labiaplasty

RECOMMENDATION

 

The female genital presents several variations and anomalies that may cause discomfort, such as twisting, tugging of the labia and interference in the sexual life of many women. The indication of simple and quick recovery surgical procedures performed on an outpatient basis solves many of these problems.

 

The most frequent anomaly is excessive length of the labia minora. They occur in young patients and can be asymmetrical. The bulge extends beyond the labia majora, resulting in an exaggerated volume in the vulva area, which can be noticed in the use of bikini, jeans or clothes during physical activity. In mature patients, atrophy of the lips with darkening and tissue hanging from the vulva may occur.

 

The labia majora may also present changes such as atrophy, with little or no protection  of the labia minora.

 

SURGERY

The treatment is a simple procedure, under local anesthesia and sedation, lasting for approximately 1 hour and half.

 

The technique consists of trimming asymmetry and removing excessive length of both labia minora and majora, respecting anatomical parameters and restoring the harmonious proportion. If they have atrophy, their response to fat grafting may improve their appearance.

Outpatient observation lasts from 2 to 4 hours.

 

RECOVERING

We indicate 48 hours of resting with elevation of lower limbs.

Swelling and distortions of the mucosa are spontaneously metabolized after

5 to 7 days.

Restriction of nearly 20 days for sexual intercourse and physical exercise.

Better results after 30 days, but residual swelling may take from 4 to 6 months.

Analgesic medications are prescribed for the first three days. It helps minimizing the pain and fasting the healing process.
