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.
