Recommendations for Labiaplasty and Vaginoplasty

  • It is normal to notice a small amount of clear, blood-tinged discharge.
  • Use a panty liner.
  • During bathing, you can wash the genital area normally.
  • Apply the cream prescribed by Dr. Alvarado 2 to 3 times a day to the wounds.
  • Take the probiotic prescribed by Dr. Alvarado 1 or 2 times a day.
  • Avoid lifting heavy objects or engaging in activities that require a lot of effort.
  • Resume sexual activity one month after surgery.
  • If a catheter was left during the reconstruction of the vaginal introitus, it will be removed by the surgeon two or more days after surgery.
  • It is necessary to learn how to empty the bag connected to the catheter. Dr. Giovanny Alvarado’s nurse will explain how it works.
  • The sutures used are self-absorbing; however, part of the suture may occasionally cause discomfort in the genital region and will need to be removed during your follow-up appointment.
