First steps of a Labiaplasty

What’s the first step?

The first step in considering Labiaplasty is to schedule a consultation with Ottawa Plastic Surgery. During the consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your concerns, goals, and reasons for seeking Labiaplasty. Dr. Boyd or one of her elite team members will carefully evaluate your anatomy, address any questions you may have, and provide information about the procedure, including potential risks and benefits. If you decide to move forward, our team will guide you through the next steps, including pre-operative preparations and what to expect on the day of the procedure.

What to expect on the day of Labiaplasty surgery

Before the surgery begins, you’ll be prepared for the procedure with care and comfort in mind. This includes ensuring you’re at ease for administering anesthesia and sterilizing the surgical area.

We begin by making precise incisions based on the agreed-upon treatment plan. The incisions are strategically placed to achieve the desired results while minimizing visible scarring. Dr. Boyd or one of our experienced surgeons will then reshape and contour the labia according to the predetermined plan. This step aims to address any asymmetry, elongation, or discomfort.

After the necessary adjustments have been made, the incisions will be meticulously closed with dissolvable stitches. This helps promote optimal healing and minimizes the risk of visible scars.

Labiaplasty recovery

Immediately following your procedure, some swelling and bruising are expected, accompanied by mild discomfort. Our detailed post-operative instructions will guide you in managing pain and minimizing swelling effectively. During the initial days, rest is paramount, and avoiding strenuous activities aids in a smooth healing process. Sticking to hygiene practices outlined by Dr. Boyd prevents infection, and wearing loose, comfortable clothing is recommended to minimize irritation. Patience and open communication with Dr. Boyd contribute to a positive recovery experience and optimal results.
