FAQs
What does labial reshaping involve?
Your surgeon will explain the procedure in detail at your consultation.
Your Labial Reshaping Journey
Before Surgery
You will have seen Mr Sojitra on more than one occasion to fully answer all your questions. It is important to avoid medications, if possible, such as aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) e.g Ibuprofen (Nurofen), Sodium Diclofenac (Voltarol) for 1 week before surgery. These tablets may increase bleeding during and after surgery. It is advisable to stop smoking 2 weeks before and after surgery from both a wound healing and an anaesthetic perspective.
The Day of Surgery
You will be admitted to hospital on the morning of surgery and Mr Sojitra along with his consultant anaesthetist will come and discuss the surgical plan again with you. The operation will take approximately 1 hour and you will wake up with dressings in place before being taken to the ward. In general labial reshaping is carried out as a day case procedure. You will need to have a friend or family member to drive you to and from the hospital.
Recovery
You will experience varying degrees of bruising, swelling, and some tenderness all of which improve by the day. Our consultant anaesthetist will prescribe you adequate medication to take home to alleviate any discomfort you may experience. You will be up and moving the day after surgery. It is important not to get the dressings wet after surgery and you will be advised on showering. Depending on your type of work, you may return to work between 7-14 days after your procedure. Your surgeon will see you 1 week after surgery at which point the dressings will be reduced and again at 2 weeks. All stitches used are dissolvable. Mild discomfort and swelling usually disappear by 1-2 weeks. Your surgeon will closely follow your recovery to ensure you are able to resume normal exercising and activities.
