How long after having both labiaplasty and hymenoplasty can you get Brazilian Laser Hair Removal? Thinking about it

Burcak Tok, MD · Answer

Hello , Brazilian hair laser can be performed immediately after labiaplasty and hymenoplasty. There is no harm to the stitches.

I suggest waiting six weeks after surgery for hair removal procedures but would still be careful to avoid suture lines

Adam J. Oppenheimer, MD, FACS · Answer

Six weeks after Labiaplasty we clear all of our patients for swimming, bathtubs, laser hair removal and intercourse, as well as any other athletic activities. We generally recommend two days of pure downtime where you’re just resting and icing the area. Perhaps five days off work if possible, especially if you’re standing or walking a lot. Three weeks out of the gym as an extra precaution. As long as one’s healing has gone great without any issues, laser hair removal is fine six weeks after Labiaplasty.

Hello, thank you for your question. Typically it depends on the surgeon but usually 4-6 weeks post op. I think 6 weeks is the safer way to go but of course speak with your plastic surgeon.

Michelle Jones Singer, MD · Answer

You should be be healed at 6-8 weeks after a Labiaplasty and a Hymenoplsty. I allow my patients to resume sexual relations and what ever type of hygiene practices that they prefer. Waxing, Shaving or Laser.

HI ,

You need to wait until your labiaplasty has completely before having the hair removal on the labia Majora. Typically, a labia minora reduction heals in about 6-8 weeks but of course, everyone is different with their healing. Your best solution is to discuss this issue with the surgeon who performs the labiaplasty and hymenoplasty, as he/ she will know the optimal time for you to have the hair removal.

Hope this helps a bit,

Best,
Dr. Christine Rodgers

Six weeks would be adequate time for the labiaplasty and hymenoplasty scars to heal before a  laser hair removal. You could also do a session a few days before your surgery if it's more convenient.

Burcu K. Arslan, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Hi, after these procedures it’s better to wait for healing. At least one month later you can do your laser hair removal session.
