Orange County Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover – Labiaplasty before or after childbirth?

There is no medical reason that should stop you from having a labiaplasty performed further childbirth; however, you may wish to defer your surgery until afterward, so that you do not feel that you need to have this done a second time.

However, since you had a C-section, there is a good possibility that you may have another C-section and then there is less chance of having significant changes following repeat pregnancy. Regarding your discomfort with intercourse, this may be improved with labiaplasty, but there can be other factors contributing to this.

Ask Doctor Grover – Labiaplasty is more popular than ever.

Labiaplasty procedures have gained significant popularity over the past 5 years due to changes in fashion and grooming as well as due to further education and media exposure.
