Labia reduction, also called a labioplasty or labialplasty, is a relatively minor operation that is performed in the clinic. Minor cases can be performed under local anesthetic or freezing.
Some of our Mississauga and Toronto labia reduction patients prefer to have the operation performed under general anesthesia, where they are put completely asleep. If you are going to be under general anesthetic, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer your anaesthetic, stay with you during the entire operation, and will be there as you wake up.
During the operation, a small amount of labia tissue is carefully removed in order to correct the patient's problem. Plastic surgery techniques are then used to complete the procedure including the use of small dissolving stitches.
Following your cosmetic surgery procedure, you will stay in our recovery room until you are wide awake and ready to go home. If your operation was performed under local freezing only, then you can drive yourself home. However if you've had a general anesthetic, then someone needs to drive you home and stay with you for 24 hours.
