Am I a suitable candidate for Labial Reduction?
Labial reduction surgery is advised for women who have enlarged or irregular labia. This can be embarrassing, uncomfortable and can even lead to sexual dissatisfaction or difficulty. This procedure reduces the size of inner labia (the inner genital lips). The results should be permanent.
If you feel that your inner labial lips may be excessively long and therefore cause discomfort (such as chaffing) or are unsightly, then labial reduction could be a surgical procedure for you.
In general, the best candidates for labial reduction surgery are women who are:
- In good physical health.
- Psychologically stable.
- Wanting to improve their appearance.
- Realistic in their expectations.
What can I do to help achieve the best results?
Before choosing to have labial reduction, ensure that you obtain as much information as is necessary to enable you to make a fully informed choice.
Your surgeon will give you specific instructions regarding preparing for surgery, including guidelines for:
- Eating and drinking.
- Smoking.
- Taking or avoiding vitamins, iron tablets and certain medications.
How else can I prepare for this procedure?
Before your surgery, take the opportunity to ask all the questions you have about the procedure.
- Tell your surgeon about any allergies you have (to foods, drugs, environmental elements).
- Try to schedule surgery at a time other than your menstrual period.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery.
