After Labiaplasty surgery, you may experience some mild discomfort and swelling, which usually disappears completely after 1-2 weeks. The labial incisions usually heal and are rarely noticeable.

You will be able to shower 24 hours following your surgery. We advise patients to have salt baths about 5 times a day during the early healing period.

In most cases you can return to work within 1 week, with swelling disappearing within 1-2 weeks. However, patients recover at different rates and it is important that you take it easy during the recovery time.

In most circumstances the stitches used will dissolve on their own in 7–14 days. If at 14 days post-op you have remaining stitches, you should arrange an appointment with our nurse to have them removed.

We will explain all the information to you in detail during your consultation and pre-operative appointments. At Cosmetic Image Clinics we understand the issues involved in making such an important decision and we are happy to discuss your concerns at any time.
