Frequently Asked Questions

No — preserving sensation is a priority. A conservative, anatomy-respecting technique protects the structures responsible for sensitivity, and long-term loss of sensation is not expected. Many women actually feel more comfortable once excess tissue that caused pulling or chafing is gently refined.

Recovery is usually easier than expected. Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort, swelling, and tenderness during the first few days, which are typically well managed with medication. Because Dr. Melissa Amoroso performs labiaplasty using advanced CO₂ laser technology, tissue trauma, bleeding, and swelling are minimized, contributing to a smoother recovery and refined healing process.

We recommend planning a 3–7 day stay in Curitiba after your procedure — enough time to recover from your flight, have your in-person consultation and surgery, and attend an initial follow-up before travelling home.

Yes — many international patients travel on their own. After the procedure you’ll be able to move and care for yourself, and our concierge support helps with transport and your stay in Curitiba. If you’d feel more at ease, you’re very welcome to bring a companion.

For most desk-based or non-strenuous jobs, yes — many women are back at work within about a week. You’ll simply avoid strenuous exercise and anything that puts pressure on the area for a few weeks. Your exact timeline depends on your job and how you heal.

CO₂ laser-assisted technique offers real advantages: precise incisions, less bleeding (the laser seals small vessels as it works), less trauma to surrounding tissue, and often a smoother, more discreet recovery.

Yes. Labiaplasty of the labia minora is often combined with a clitoral hood reduction, since reducing the labia alone can leave the hood looking relatively prominent. After the in-person evaluation, around 90% of patients choose to combine the two techniques for a more balanced, harmonious result. Dr. Amoroso assesses both during your consultation and plans them together when it’s appropriate for you.

Complete healing takes about 4–6 weeks. Most women return to light exercise after 2–3 weeks, while sexual activity and intense workouts should wait around 4–6 weeks, once the tissues are fully healed. Dr. Amoroso confirms your personal timeline during follow-up.

Labiaplasty scars are usually virtually imperceptible. The incisions follow the natural contours of the labia, sutures are absorbable, and tissue in this area heals exceptionally well. Once healing is complete, the result looks natural and discreet.

Most patients are comfortable to fly about 3–7 days after the procedure. We recommend planning a 3–7 day stay in Curitiba to include your follow-up.

Yes. Dr. Amoroso provides remote follow-up and remains available throughout your recovery.

If enlarged or asymmetric labia cause discomfort during exercise or intimacy, irritation with clothing, difficulty with hygiene, or affect your self-confidence, you may be a good candidate. The best way to know is a confidential consultation — in person or online — where Dr. Amoroso evaluates your case and recommends the right approach for you.

Labiaplasty is performed under local anesthesia — the area is completely numbed while you remain awake and comfortable. This avoids the risks and longer recovery of general anesthesia, and you can go home shortly after the procedure.

Typically around 1 to 2 hours, depending on the technique and whether procedures are combined — such as labiaplasty with clitoral hood reduction. You go home the same day.

Labiaplasty is generally performed on adult women (18+), once development is complete. Every case is evaluated individually during the consultation, considering anatomy, symptoms, and motivations.

No — labiaplasty does not affect fertility, pregnancy, or vaginal delivery. If you are planning a pregnancy in the near future, mention it during your consultation so the timing of your procedure can be planned accordingly.

You will receive detailed, personalized pre-operative instructions. In general: pause blood-thinning medication only as instructed by your doctor, avoid alcohol and smoking in the days before surgery, and wear comfortable, loose clothing on the day. Our team guides you through every step.

Serious complications are rare when labiaplasty is performed by an experienced specialist. As with any procedure, temporary swelling, bruising, and sensitivity are expected; less commonly, bleeding, infection, or small healing irregularities can occur. The CO₂ laser technique and scheduled follow-ups help minimize risks and monitor your healing.

Having your period is not a problem. Menstruation is not a contraindication to labiaplasty, and the procedure can usually proceed as planned. If you are menstruating on the day of surgery, you may wear a tampon during the procedure for your comfort, although this is not required.

The new contour is visible as soon as the initial swelling subsides, over the first few weeks. Tissues continue to settle and refine over the following months, with the final result typically established around 3–6 months after the procedure.
