A Labiaplasty in Baton Rouge – The Procedure

A Labiaplasty procedure with Dr. Guillot at the First Choice Surgery Center in Baton Rouge lasts from one to two hours.

Anesthesia

During a Labiaplasty, patients receive anesthesia to ensure they remain comfortable throughout the procedure. This procedure can be performed while the patient is awake using just local anesthesia. The two other forms of anesthesia include IV sedation and general anesthesia. IV sedation, commonly referred to as ‘twilight,’ is usually the method Dr. Guillot prefers; while, general anesthesia frequently causes nausea, post-op drowsiness, endotracheal post-surgical effects and vomiting, twilight sedation does not. Once the patient is sedated, the Labiaplasty begins.
