Labiaplasty

What the labiaplasty surgery involves

Excess tissue is removed from the labia minora to reduce its size and correct any asymmetry. The surgeon works with one of two approaches depending on anatomy. The trim method reduces along the outer edge. The wedge method removes a section from the middle, which keeps the natural border of the labia intact. Some patients also have the clitoral hood addressed in the same session, which is assessed and agreed upon during the consultation.

The process can be performed under local or general anaesthesia and usually takes about one to two hours. All stitches used are dissolvable ones, meaning that you will not need any additional visits for stitch removal.

Who it works for

Women who have come for labiaplasty surgery in coimbatore usually have some sort of physical concern. Friction during running, discomfort during biking, irritation caused by tight clothes, and pain during sex may be what eventually convinces a woman to consult with a doctor. Appearance issues are equally as important as physical issues, and they tend to coincide.

This operation can only be carried out after puberty. Where the women intend to get pregnant soon, the issue has to be handled properly at the consultation session. Nonetheless, there are also many women who decide to undertake this labiaplasty treatment in coimbatore and deal with the issue later on.

What happens on the day

On arrival, pre-operative checks are completed. Anaesthesia is administered, the surgeon removes and reshapes the tissue using the agreed technique, and the incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures. The whole thing is done within two hours. After a short period in recovery, patients leave the clinic the same day.

Recovery after female genital rejuvenation

The swelling in the first few days looks worse than it is. It comes down quickly, with most of it gone by the two to three week mark. This settling down continues for the next few months and it will only become apparent after the process has completed itself.

Clothes that fit tightly and closely can create discomfort and should be avoided during the initial period of weeks. The patient should avoid both exercise and sexual activity until four to six weeks have passed. Usually, the individual is able to resume a desk job after seven days. Post-surgical care instructions issued by the doctor on wound hygiene help in healing the tissue.
