After getting a labiaplasty, swelling and itching are common side effects. Many people experience these symptoms for the first 5-7 days post-surgery. These side effects usually subside after a few weeks. To help manage swelling and itching, doctors recommend taking over-the-counter pain medication. Additionally, applying ice packs to the area and avoiding tight clothing or activities is also recommended. It’s crucial to follow your surgeon’s instructions so they can provide more specific advice on how to manage your recovery and when you will expect to feel better.
