To get the most out of your labiaplasty consultation and procedure, it’s important to be informed and be ready to ask questions. These are important to understanding your procedure, your plastic surgeon, and your expected results. You should always verify the credentials of your chosen plastic surgeon. Helpful questions to have ready for your consultation include:
- How will this procedure be performed and with what techniques?
- What can I expect during my recovery?
- What training or experience do you have with this procedure?
- Where will this procedure be performed?
- Am I an appropriate candidate for this procedure?
- What will be the expected total costs for my procedure?

A labiaplasty can generally be performed with local or general anesthesia, and most commonly includes a reduction or reshaping technique. The labiaplasty may also be performed with a wedge technique, where a pie-shaped piece of tissue is removed, and the edges stitched together. Each of these techniques have benefits, and you might find better results with one over the other. This will be discussed and determined during your consultation.

Recovery from a labiaplasty procedure will depend on the technique selected and the extent of the reduction and reshaping procedures. Activity for the first week is limited but most activities can be resumed after the second week. During the first week intercourse or any vigorous exercise or activities should be avoided as well as the use of tampons during the initial recovery period. Sitting for prolonged periods may be uncomfortable during this time, so many patients may take time off work initially after surgery in order to ice the area and lie down to reduce any swelling. Dr. Barone will prescribe medication and use advanced recovery techniques during this time to help ease any discomfort and reduce complications. You’ll also be made aware of any signs to look for that might signal complications or risks.

Restoring natural proportions and balance and support to the labia and external genitalia result in significantly improved comfort and self-confidence. Results are long-lasting and may significantly improve the patient’s quality of life.
