Are zinc oxide creams okay to use when healing from a labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty scars don't require creams to help them heal. If the stitching has brought together the skin edges properly, the scars will heal perfectly in a few weeks. The only time we recommend creams is when we want to prevent a vaginal pad from sticking to the scars. For this, we recommend a light application of either vaseline or aquaphor because they don't irritate the skin. Zinc oxide is used as a moisturizer for skin rashes and if you don't have a skin rash, you're not achieving anything by applying it to a labiaplasty scar.

thank you for asking the question.
In any surgical procedure keeping the wound clean, and letting it breathe is very important.
each physician is having its own recipe for post-op wound care.
Please follow your doctor's recommendation.

It depends on the opinion of your surgeon. Please ask them as they will have recommendations specific to them.

After labiaplasty, zinc oxide creams may be beneficial in wound healing, but I prefer products containing more hyaluronic acid and low-fat, helping to nourish the tissue.

This question is best answered by your surgeon as opinions may vary. The answer will depend on where you are wanting to put the cream, the reason you want to use it, and how far out you are from your procedure.
