After the labiaplasty procedure, full healing is required to get back to regular sexual activity. Any distortion of the tissue should be avoided including inner and outer labia. Some incisions are sutured with dissolvable stitches after the labiaplasty surgery.
The patient should abstain from sexual activity until the stitches are fully sealed or closed. Sexual activity can rip the dissolvable stitches, which may cause distortion. Also, the edges of the labia are very sensitive until full healing. Avoiding sexual activity for a while is necessary for a shorter and more comfortable recovery process.
