Labia or labia minora are the inner folds that protect the vagina and urethra. Labiaplasty is the surgery performed to make changes, especially reducing the size of the labia. Although having a noticeable amount of skin is normal many women are conscious about it and want to undergo treatment for it. It is a surgical treatment that can be only performed by specialists. The procedure reshapes or shortens the vaginal lips by removing the unwanted tissue. The duration of the surgery is 1-2 hours and you do not require a medical facility to rest after that. Although you are discharged on the same day, still the skin needs up to two weeks to fully recover. Precautionary measures have to be taken for a while that include:
- Keep the area clean
- Wear loose clothes
- Avoid physical activities including sex for 6-12 weeks
- Use sanitary napkins instead of tampons or cups
Labiaplasty may have some minor side effects like swelling and soreness. It may be a little uncomfortable to pee and sit during the recovery period.
