What is a Labiaplasty?
A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to alter the appearance of the labia minora, labia majora, or both. Changes in the labia’s shape may occur due to various factors, such as pregnancy, illness, or aging. Labiaplasty can modify the size, shape, or symmetry of the labia to address individual concerns.
In some cases, labiaplasty may be combined with other procedures, such as liposuction to the mons pubis, fat transfer to the labia majora, or laser treatments aimed at improving skin quality. These options are available to cater to specific patient needs, though the combination of procedures is not necessary for all cases.

During Labiaplasty Surgery
The Procedure
During labiaplasty surgery, a small incision is made along the labia minora, and excess skin may be removed to achieve the desired shape and appearance. If a fat transfer to the labia majora is part of the procedure, fat will be treated to enhance and fill the area.
Labiaplasty is typically performed under neurolept sedation. The duration of the surgery may vary, generally taking between 1 to 2 hours, depending on individual factors. After the procedure, we will contact your designated caregiver and provide an approximate time for when it will be safe for you to be discharged.
Your caregiver will receive instructions on how to care for you over the next 24 hours and will also have access to Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) (MED0001196978)’s personal mobile number for any concerns. The following day, you will return to our Nedlands clinic for a post-operative review with one of our nurses, where you will receive further care instructions and support for your recovery. We encourage you to reach out to the clinic with any questions or concerns before, during, or after your procedure.
Labiaplasty Recovery and Aftercare
The majority of labiaplasty patients experience a recovery period of approximately one to two weeks. During this time, it is common to experience some discomfort and swelling as part of the natural healing process. Pain medication may be prescribed to help manage any discomfort, and it’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for medication use.
Swelling is a typical part of healing and will gradually decrease over time. It’s important to be patient and allow your body to heal at its own pace while adhering to post-operative care instructions to support optimal recovery.
Recovery time can vary between individuals, depending on factors such as age, genetics, and overall health. Each person’s healing process is unique, and some may experience a faster or slower recovery. It’s essential to listen to your body, stay patient, and follow the guidance provided by Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) (MED0001196978) and the clinical team to ensure a successful recovery.
The timing for returning to work after labiaplasty can vary depending on the nature of your job and your individual recovery process. Many patients can return to work a few days after the procedure, but it’s important to consider the physical demands of your job and your personal healing progress.
For the first 7 days following surgery, it is essential to maintain cleanliness and moisture in the treated area. This can be achieved with betadine-soaked gauze, which supports the healing process. Vigorous physical activity should be avoided for 2 to 4 weeks, and it is advisable to refrain from sexual intercourse and the use of tampons for approximately 6 weeks. Additionally, taking probiotics with your prescribed antibiotics can help reduce the risk of thrush and aid in recovery. Following all post-operative instructions is important for a smooth healing process.
It is also important to monitor any changes in discharge after the surgery. If you notice any unusual or concerning changes, promptly contact your clinical team for advice and further care. Timely communication with your healthcare team is crucial to ensure any potential issues are addressed and to support your recovery.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR Labiaplasty SURGERY
Review Absolute Cosmetic Perth’s essential pre-procedure instructions to minimise surgical risks. This checklist outlines nicotine-free timelines, medication restrictions and mandatory blood tests to support informed preparation.
Booking Process
In accordance with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) protocol, it is a prerequisite to obtain a GP referral for all cosmetic surgical procedures before scheduling a consultation with Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978). Additionally, a Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) questionnaire will need to be completed to assess your suitability for the procedure. To facilitate informed discussions and address any questions you may have, informational videos will be sent to your designated email prior to your meeting with Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) (MED0001196978). Following a second consultation with a member of our clinical team, a mandatory 7-day cooling off period will commence. During this time, we strongly encourage you to seek further information and education regarding your desired procedure, as well as consider obtaining a second opinion. After the 7-day cooling off period, you are welcome to proceed with scheduling your procedure and embark on your Absolute Cosmetic journey.
Arrival
Arrive on time to be fully admitted by the medical team. On the day of the procedure, fasting is mandatory, meaning you should refrain from consuming food or water for 6 hours prior to your scheduled surgical start time. However, you may take a small sip of water in the morning to consume any pre-surgery medication if necessary. These precautions are taken to optimise your safety and the success of the procedure.
Nicotine
- Stop smoking, vaping and all nicotine treatments—and avoid passive smoke—at least 4 weeks before surgery and for 6–8 weeks afterward.
- Nicotine can slow healing and raise the chance of infection or an unsatisfactory cosmetic result.
- Surgery will be cancelled, with fees forfeited, if you smoke, vape or are exposed to smoke within four weeks of the procedure.
- Use evidence-based quitting aids if needed; see the linked resource for support and further details on potential complications.
Medications & Supplements
Avoid blood-thinning agents for 10 days pre-op, including aspirin, Nurofen (ibuprofen), vitamin E, fish oil, green tea, turmeric and other anti-inflammatory treatments.
Blood Tests
- Standard bloods: complete ≥ 2 weeks before surgery.
- Cotinine (nicotine) test, if requested: complete ≥ 4 weeks before surgery.

Risks
Labiaplasty surgery, aimed at altering the size or shape of the labia minora or majora, carries certain potential risks. Infection, although rare, is a possibility, despite stringent sterilisation protocols and antibiotic prophylaxis. Excessive bleeding can also occur, and in such cases, it’s important to contact the after-hours support number for guidance.
Nerve damage is another risk due to the proximity of nerves to the surgical site. This can lead to temporary or, in some cases, permanent numbness, tingling, or altered sensation.
Scarring is a natural outcome of surgical procedures. While every effort is made to minimise visible scarring, the healing process is unique to each individual and can be influenced by factors such as wound care and healing responses. In some cases, asymmetry or irregularities in the labial contour may occur, potentially requiring corrective measures or a second surgery.
As with any surgical procedure, thorough pre-operative consultations, realistic expectations, and open communication with Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) (MED0001196978) and the clinical team are essential to understanding the potential risks and optimising the chances for a positive outcome.
