labiaplasty surgery side effects

labiaplasty may have the following side effects:

It’s normal after a labiaplasty to have soreness, bruising and swelling for up to 2 weeks.

During this time, peeing and sitting may also be uncomfortable. You’ll be given painkillers to help with this.

A labiaplasty can occasionally result in:

• bleeding
• infection
• scarring of tissue
• reduced sensitivity of the genitals

Any type of operation also carries a small risk of:

• a blood clot in a vein
• an allergic reaction to the anaesthetic

Your surgeon should explain how likely these risks and complications are, and how they would be treated if you have them.
