Labiaplasty surgery performed under local anesthesia is a common practice. Local anesthesia numbs the specific area where the procedure will be performed, allowing the patient to remain awake and alert during the surgery while experiencing minimal discomfort. This approach offers several advantages, including reduced risks associated with general anesthesia, faster recovery times, and potentially lower costs.
During the procedure, the surgeon will administer the local anesthetic to the labial area, ensuring the patient is comfortable and pain-free.
Once the area is numb, the surgeon will proceed with the surgical reshaping or reduction of the labia according to the patient’s desired outcome.
It’s important for patients considering labiaplasty to discuss their options with a qualified and experienced surgeon, who can provide personalized recommendations based on their specific anatomy and goals. Additionally, patients should thoroughly understand the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes of the procedure before making a decision.
