My surgeon told me I can get pregnant and deliver a baby vaginally without problems after the labiaplasty. He said as soon as I can have sex, I can also try for a baby because the 6 weeks recovery time + 9 months pregnancy are enough. However I don’t trust my surgeon since he has often given me false hopes and generally brushes everything off as no problem. I also had a serious split after my first labiaplasty, the revision was fine though. Scared of labial tearing at birth.

Answer: Pregnancy and delivery won't impact your labiaplasty Hello Nicole, Your surgeon is correct, you may get pregnant soon after your labiaplasty. A vaginal delivery is fine as well.

Answer: How long after a labiaplasty can I get pregnant safely? Hello and thank you for your question. It is usually safe to have intercourse 6 weeks after labiaplasty procedure, and 9 months afterwards should be enough time for the majority of wound healing to take place to safely give vaginal birth. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzFellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Six Weeks Although possible, it's unlikely to have tearing of the labia during childbirth. I don’t believe it is any more likely to have a tear of the labia during childbirth after a labiaplasty. The most common place that I have seen tears in the labia from a vaginal delivery is at the clitoral frenulum. This is the point where the clitoris attaches to the labia minora. The bigger issue with labiaplasty and healing has to do with intercourse. We recommend that patients wait six weeks before resuming sexual intercourse following labiaplasty such that everything has been healed completely.

Answer: Labiaplasty and pregnancy I usually instruct my patients not to have sexual intercourse until 6 weeks after the labiaplasty. If you were to conceive after 6 weeks, it will be safe to have a vaginal delivery at the time of your due date. The labiaplasty does not increase the risk of tearing after a vaginal delivery.

Answer: Childbearing after labiaplasty Thank you for your question Ten months after the labiaplasty procedure healing is completed. Whether you will tear or not will not change by waiting longer
