Feminine Surgery
Local anesthesia or sedation for labiaplasty? Feminine surgery in Seoul, Korea
The short answer
Both are options. Local anesthesia numbs the area while you stay awake, allowing a quicker discharge. Sedation makes you drowsy and relaxed, which many anxious patients prefer; you will need to fast beforehand and should not drive afterward. Your doctor will help you choose.
Bring a companion if you choose sedation. See labiaplasty and bringing a partner.
