Labiaplasty And How It Is Performed

Performing labiaplasty on your body

Labiaplasty is a procedure that is performed on the labia – the outer portion of the genitals of a woman.

Women who generally suffer from pain, irritation, and discomfort in their labia or have a hanging or long labia are the good candidates for labiaplasty procedure.

Consultation:

The first step to begin with the labiaplasty procedure is consultation with the best cosmetic gynecologist doctor.

2.      Get yourself tested for anemia.

3.      Do not eat or drink for 12 hours before your surgery.

4.      Do not rely on the intake of multivitamins, supplements or aspirin prior to the procedure.

Deciding the method:

Labiaplasty can be performed in two different methods – the trim method and the wedge method. The trim method is performed if the issue of concern is the length of the labia whereas the wedge method focuses on the reduction of the wedge-shaped portion of the labia.
