Labiaplasty is a relatively minor procedure that takes about an hour to perform. Patients can go home the same day of the surgery. Once you are discharged from our facility, your surgeon will give specific instructions as to what to do. In general, you need 2 or 3 days rest immediately after surgery and at least from 4 to 8 weeks rest from extenuating activities such as sex and exercise. Our surgeon will advise you when you can resume normal activities such as sexual intercourse and exercise. It’s normal for our patients to not want to say the reason of their surgery at work; that’s why we may use a general medical excuse letter to avoid giving specifics about the surgery. Keep in mind that during your healing process, your surgeon will monitor your progress.
