Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure performed to alter the labia minora (the inner lips) or the labia majora (the outer lips) of the vulva. Recovery experiences can vary from person to person, but it’s common for individuals to experience discomfort and swelling in the days following the procedure, which can affect mobility and make walking uncomfortable. However, the severity of these symptoms can depend on factors such as the individual’s pain tolerance, the extent of the surgery, and how well they adhere to post-operative care instructions provided by their surgeon. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s guidance closely and allow yourself ample time to heal before resuming normal activities. If you’re considering labiaplasty, discussing potential risks, including post-operative discomfort and limitations, with your surgeon beforehand is crucial.
