If Dr. Paydar decides to use general anesthesia to perform your labiaplasty, you will need someone to remain with you for the first 24 hours after your procedure. You can apply an ice pack to the area to help minimize swelling and discomfort, and place a pillow underneath your back or buttocks for elevation.
We ask our vaginal rejuvenation patients to limit strenuous activities for the first week and rest as much as possible to stay comfortable and avoid complications. You can begin showering as usual the day after your procedure. We recommend that you use lukewarm water and a mild soap and always keep the area clean and dry.
Refrain from all sexual activities for the next six weeks as your labia continue to heal.
