The operation is a relatively minor procedure, however, the recovery period is spicy. This may be accompanied by some pain and swelling in the pubic area. We will give you medication to promote a successful recovery, and you can also take paracetamol for support. Swelling should be controlled with an ice pack immediately after the procedure and for several days. Keep the wound clean by rinsing it at least twice a day and after every toilet visit. We recommend leaving the area alone as much as possible to allow it to recover properly.
After the labia correction, the wound is sutured with soluble sutures and is not bandaged. It is therefore sensible to wear a panty liner or sanitary towel against any wound fluid/blood loss. In the first four to six weeks after treatment, do not engage in heavy physical activity, such as physical work, intensive sports or lifting. You can resume your daily activities. During the recovery period, sex is not recommended. You are advised to wait at least six weeks before doing so.
Below you will see pictures of how recovery may go in the first 2 weeks. Know that everyone is unique and it is a very personal process. Therefore, be well informed during a personal initial consultation.
