Preparation for Labiaplasty Surgery
Your complete medical history should be made aware to Dr Dona, fully disclosing all health problems. All relevant details should be disclosed when you fill out your “Patient Registration Form” and during your initial consultation.
Do not take any blood thinning medications such as; aspirin or any medicine containing aspirin, large amounts of vitamins or anti-inflammatory drugs.
You should cease smoking for at least 2 weeks prior to surgery, as it increases surgical and anesthetic risks and can lead to serious complications.

Potential Complications

Whenever someone is having an anaesthetic, no matter what it’s for, then things can potentially go wrong. That is why no surgery should be considered “minor”. Of course, whilst the chances of the following potential problems occurring are extremely small, you still need to know about then:
- Anaesthetic issues – which can affect heart, lungs or cause strokes
- Allergic reactions – This can be very mild to life threatening.
- Clots
- Superficial vein clots, which is a complication of the cannula or drip that’s placed in your vein
- Deep vein clots – these can potentially spread to the lung and be life threatening. We do several things during surgery and after surgery whilst you’re in hospital to minimise the risk of you developing these.
- Wound problems – such as infection and breakdown
- Bleeding – early or late
- Death – whilst the chances of this is exceeding rare, any of the previous issues can result in this devastating complication.
All these potential problems are standard for any operation, although some operations and some patients have an increased risk of developing them.
Specific potential complications include:
- Asymmetry – mild asymmetry is not uncommon
- Pigmentation – some minor changes in pigmentation and texture of the labial edge
- Sensory changes – it is very uncommon for any significant sensory changes for a routine labiaplasty
Costs Labiaplasty
Will Private Health Insurance or Medicare cover costs?
Medicare and Private Health Insurance does not cover genital cosmetic surgery. Some exceptions exist, but these are uncommon. Dr Dona can advise you during your Sydney consultation.
