Sex after labiaplasty
Hello,
This depends upon technique. I ask my patients to wait until I have cleared them based upon how the area appears to be healing or wait 4-6 weeks if they are from out of town.

Sex after labiaplasty
In my view and from my patient's feedback, intercourse at two weeks is way too early. On average, most patients say around 2 to 3 months. Good luck.

Sex restrictions following labiaplasty
We recently completed a study of 50 women who underwent the procedure. Although we have typicallly told patients that they could resume sexual activity by six weeks, most of our patients told us that they did not feel comfortable having sex until 12 weeks.
