How is the Procedure Performed?

Dr Maria performs labia majoraplasty under general anesthesia which takes an average of 60 minutes. The reason why she doesn’t use a local anesthesia is because of the patient’s comfort, and with general anesthesia, the cosmetic results are better and more accurate due to minimal swelling of the target area.

Dr Maria is using Radiofrequency – a cutting-edge technology – in all her surgeries. With radiofrequency, which is the least invasive surgical tool, you can achieve the best and most detailed cosmetic results.

Pre-Op Instructions

The procedure is a surgical one; therefore, patients need to prepare for it beforehand. Keep the following instructions in mind before undergoing Labiaplasty

  • Avoid taking any blood-thinning medication for 2 weeks before the procedure

  • Try to avoid smoking before and after the surgery

  • Do not drink any alcohol a day before the surgery

Recovery After Labia Minoraplasty

After the surgery, Dr Maria will ask you to stay at home and ice the target area for 3 days. One week later, you will be able to resume your daily routine, however, you shouldn’t have intercourse, go swimming, and engage in strenuous exercise for 6 weeks.

Are the Results of Labia Minoraplasty Permanent?
