Does Labiaplasty (Labia Reduction) Surgery Hurt
Labiaplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation. However it can be performed under general anesthesia. Patients remain comfortable throughout. After labiaplasty, soreness and swelling are controlled with prescribed medication, and many patients transition to over-the-counter pain relievers within a couple days.
How Long Labiaplasty (Labia Reduction) Surgery Takes
The surgery usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of correction.
Recovery from Labiaplasty (Labia Reduction) Surgery
Recovery involves swelling and mild soreness for the first week. Driving resumes once prescription medications are no longer required and the patient can comfortable sit for periods of time. Desk work can usually resume in 3 to 5 days. Exercise and sexual activity should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks – until you have had your follow up visit and are cleared by Dr. Ali.

Each patient’s labiaplasty (labia reduction) surgery needs are unique – depending upon the technique used and anatomy. Therefore, the cost will vary. During consultation, Dr. Ali will recommend the best plan and provide the exact cost. Financing options are available.
Labiaplasty Surgery vs the G Shot
Another treatment for labia concerns is the new “G” Shot (sometimes brand named the “O Shot”) . The G Shot (or O Shot) uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to rejuvenate and tighten labial and vaginal tissue, improving sensation and appearance in less severe cases.
However, labiaplasty surgery physically reshapes the labia – and removes excess tissue – for long-lasting results. The G Shot is non-surgical and temporary, while labiaplasty provides permanent correction for significant labia lip elongation.
