Recovery after a labia correction

After the labia correction, the area may swell; it is important to cool down after the procedure. A bag of frozen peas is usually used for this purpose. We recommend continuing to cool the swelling regularly for several days. It is also important to keep the wound clean.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a question that is not answered? Feel free to contact us Monday to Sunday, between 08:00 and 22:00, at the following number or email.

Who is a labia correction not suitable for?

Every body is authentic. No two vaginas are the same. Do you feel that your vagina deviates from the norm, without suffering from psychological or physical symptoms as a result? If so, it is important to realise that there is no such thing as the standard vagina or the average vagina. In that case, it is wise to check with yourself whether the result of such an operation really contributes to your sense of well-being.

When the labia are not yet mature, a labia correction is not possible (yet). The operation can be performed at our premises if you are over 18 years old.

Aftercare after a labia correction

Virtually no bruising occurs after the labia correction. However, considerable swelling may occur. It is important to start cooling immediately after treatment. An ice pack is recommended for this. We recommend cooling the treated area regularly for several days. Counter pressure is also recommended. You can think of a hard chair or rolled up towel. It is also important to keep the wound clean. It should therefore be rinsed at least twice a day and after every visit to the toilet.

After treatment, the wound is not bandaged. However, it is wise to use sanitary pads to ensure that any blood loss is collected.

In the first four to six weeks after the labia correction, we advise against any additional exertion. You can think of heavy physical work, heavy lifting, cycling and sports. Sex is also not recommended during the recovery period. The advice is to wait six weeks for this.

What is the recovery like after a labia correction?

Swelling may occur after the labia correction, which is why it is important to start cooling immediately after the procedure. An ice pack is used for this purpose. We recommend cooling the swelling and the treated area for the first few days. It is also important to keep the wound clean. It should therefore be rinsed at least twice a day, for example while showering. If necessary, the wound and the surrounding area may be rubbed with a cream.

After the procedure, the wound is not bandaged. However, it is wise to use sanitary pads to ensure that any blood loss is collected.

In the first four to six weeks after the labia correction, we advise against any additional exertion. You can think of heavy physical work, heavy lifting, etching and sports. During the recovery period, sex is not recommended. The advice is to wait at least six weeks for this.

Will a labia correction be reimbursed?

A labia correction is a procedure that is generally not covered by insured care. Only if the operation is medically necessary, some health insurers reimburse the treatment in rare cases. If you are considering a labia correction, it is wise to check beforehand whether your (supplementary) health insurance covers this procedure and, if so, under what conditions.

Is a labia correction safe?

Although a labia correction is a relatively simple procedure, there are risks with any surgery. Possible risks after surgery may include post-operative bleeding or the wound may become infected and/or inflamed. In some cases, scars may be or remain numb after healing.

Labia are naturally asymmetrical. Although efforts are made to achieve as symmetrical a result as possible, a completely symmetrical result cannot be guaranteed after surgery. However, the inner and outer labia are balanced as much as possible.

What exactly is a labia correction?

During a labia correction, or labia correction, the inner labia are reduced in size. This can be chosen for cosmetic or medical reasons. The inner labia (labia minora) are surgically reduced in such a way that they fall within the outer labia (labia majora) and are thus better protected.
