Is labiaplasty completely safe? Is my sexual health at risk in any way?

September 16, 2024
Asked By:karleesomers in Los Angeles, California

I am looking into getting labiaplasty but I am very nervous and afraid. I have read that it is a very simple procedure and it is very rare to have complications. But can it change your sensation, feeling, sensitivity, sexual health in any way? Apparently nerve damage can occur, what are the chances of that occurring? Is the surgery then worth the risk? I really appreciate your thoughts and expertise and would love any recommendations for an experienced surgeon.
