How to speed up labiaplasty recovery?

Labiaplasty recovery is relatively short, but it can be even shorter when patients follow some labiaplasty aftercare instructions. To shorten the labiaplasty surgery recovery, patients should apply the following tips:

• alleviate swelling and bruising by using cold compresses:
• follow a Post-operative Diet (a healthy diet rich in nutrition; liquid diet on the first 1-2 days is also a good idea);
• get rest when the body needs it and avoid stress;
• maintain a relaxed sleeping position;
• avoid sexual activity for at least 6-8 weeks;
• avoid strenuous activities for the first 2 weeks;
• have a positive attitude;
• when you still feel weak, postpone going back to work;
• follow all recommendations regarding taking a shower (use washcloth gently);
• avoid sun bathing, avoid sun exposure;
• no bathing for the first weeks;
• keep physical activity, walking is highly recommended (gradually increase the physical activity level);
• stay hydrated (hydration is extremely important);
• avoid alcohol (do not drink alcohol for at least 2 weeks after the surgery);
• do not take any medication without consulting a doctor, pain killers, supplements, herbs should be approved by a surgeon.

The recovery time after labiaplasty is really short and not as complicated as it may seem. During the first week, recovery after labiaplasty is not very pleasant, yet thanks to a proper post labiaplasty care and the tips above, women can provide more comfort, pain management and relief.
