MTF:
Labiaplasty

Description
Labiaplasty is frequently the second part of a two-stage vaginoplasty, where labia and a clitoral hood are created. This is often performed a few months after the first part of the procedure. In some cases, labiaplasty is an elective procedure to improve appearance after a one-stage vaginoplasty. (Rarely needed based on present one-stage experience, with less than 1 patient in 50 opting for a labiaplasty)

Procedure
Can be performed at Mt. San Rafael Hospital (outpatient, general anesthesia - recommended) or in Dr. Bowers' office (local anesthesia)

Pre-op and Post-op

  • Cease taking aspirin / aspirin-like products one week prior to procedure. Dr. Meltzer also has a great list of products containing aspirin here.
  • Arrive in Trinidad either the day before or the morning of your procedure
  • Plan to stay in Trinidad for two nights past your procedure, and depart no sooner than the 3rd day.
