Is Labiaplasty right for you?

You may be someone who has repeated urinary tract infections and you may be aware that your large labia potentially could be contributing to the itchiness and or pain that you may be experiencing.

You may be someone who has always had large labia minora and this has caused you concern, particularly chafing, pain, or itchiness, during exercise, in certain clothing, or during times of intimacy. You may also feel that aesthetically the shape or size has been bothering you and you would like to know what is possible and what can be done about this.

How is labiaplasty performed ?

The labiaplasty procedure

Dr Wetton is well versed in labiaplasty techniques, because this is one of her special interests. She has seen many women who suffer with issues relating to their labia and often they are not aware that something can be done about the issues that they have been facing.

Dr Wetton often favours the Double Wedge De-epithlilization Technique(DWDT), also called many other synonyms. This is her preferred technique for labiaplasty, to reduce the size of the labia minora and also create a neater shape of the labia. In comparison to other known techniques, this procedure results in the least risk of damage to blood vessels, nerves or connective tissues. This technique also allows the sutures to be reasonably well hidden in the creases of the labia and the incision is transverse and not along the edges.

After your labiaplasty you can expect to be quite swollen in the genital area. The day after your surgery, your whole vulva area may be painful and some patients walk with a wider gait. You may experience varying degrees of swelling in the following days and often a little spotting from the incision. For this reason, you may wish to wear a pad for a few days. You may like to stay at home and rest for a week, longer if you have an active job or a job that requires you to be on your feet for extended periods of time. Although sore, you may walk around and shower from day 1, but please ensure you do not get constipated as straining may damage your stitches. It is important to follow Dr Wetton’s post- operative instructions in order to have a smooth recovery.

The swelling will significantly decrease and you can start to go back to your everyday life, however you should still not participate in exercise, heavy lifting or intimacy for at least eight weeks after your surgery. The skin in this area is very thin and it is important to look after the area well, so that it can heal. Sutures will slowly dissolve over the first couple of weeks.
