Is Labiaplasty safe and is there scarring after Labiaplasty?

Yes, labiaplasty is a safe procedure. With that said, there are risks to be aware of. Though rare, they include bleeding, infection and hematoma. There’s also a slight chance that your physician could remove too much tissue, though that is less likely to happen if you select an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. Some scarring is inevitable with any surgery. However, labiaplasty scars are very discreet and will be barely noticeable once the area has healed.
