Objectives and Reasons
Aesthetic Concerns: Some women may not be satisfied with the appearance of their labia. Enlarged or asymmetric labia minora (inner lips) can cause discomfort when wearing tight clothing such as bikinis. Labioplasty may be preferred to address aesthetic concerns.
Functional Issues: Large or asymmetric labia can cause discomfort during physical activities, irritation, and pain during sexual intercourse. Labioplasty can be performed to resolve such functional issues.
Operation Process
Consultation and Planning: The initial stage involves a consultation session with a plastic surgeon or gynecologist. During this session, the patient’s expectations, medical history, and current condition are evaluated. The surgeon creates a treatment plan tailored to the patient’s needs and desires.
Anesthesia: The operation is generally performed under local anesthesia, although general anesthesia may be used in some cases. The type of anesthesia depends on the patient’s preference and the surgeon’s recommendation.
Surgical Procedure: During labioplasty, excess tissue is trimmed and removed to correct the size and shape of the labia. The surgeon typically places incisions along natural skin folds to minimize visible scarring. The operation usually takes about 1-2 hours.
Stitches and Recovery: Incisions are closed with stitches that are often self-dissolving. After the operation, there may be swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. These symptoms typically subside within a few weeks.
Recovery Process
First Days: Rest is recommended for the first few days after the operation. Cold compresses can be used to reduce swelling and discomfort. Pain relievers recommended by the doctor can also be taken.
Hygiene and Care: It is important to keep the area clean and dry during the healing process. The doctor will provide specific hygiene and care recommendations.
Activities: Avoid heavy physical activities, sexual intercourse, and tampon use for approximately 4-6 weeks. After this period, normal activities can be resumed with the doctor’s approval.
Follow-up Checks: The surgeon will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process. During these check-ups, possible complications and the progress of recovery will be assessed.
