Possible Complications

Serious complications after a labial reduction are relatively uncommon.  The scar very rarely may remain itchy or otherwise uncomfortable but is usually imperceptible.    The usual complications after any surgical procedure such as infection or bleeding are a very rare possibility as well.   Perfect symmetry does not exist before or after labial reduction surgery. The two enlarged labia are never symmetrical to begin with, and neither will be the reduced labia.    Patient satisfaction, however, is almost universal following this procedure. Secondary procedures may rarely be desirable to revise excise more tissue. The patient will be responsible for all costs associated with secondary surgical procedures.    It is not possible to list every conceivable complication. As with any operation, there could be potential complications, which could even be fatal. The foregoing is not intended to frighten or upset you but to enable you to make your decision with an understanding of some of the involved risks.
