Labia Minora Plasty
(Labiaplasty)
The reduction of the labia minora (the inner lips of the vulva) is more common than the reduction or the augmentation of the labia majora, although both belong to a growing field of cosmetic procedures designed to enhance or rejuvenate the female genitalia.
There are many reasons to undergo the procedure. Here is a Summary of the most common:
Painful or decreased sensation in sexual intercourse due to the hypertrophy of the labia minora.
Discomfort when wearing tight trousers, when exercising or in ordinary activities such as cycling.
Asymmetry
Chronic urinary tract infections
The availability on the Internet of new models of attractiveness of the genitals.
In increasing cultural acceptance.
Most women accept the pubic hair removal, so the morphology of the labia that previously was unnoticed now appears.
The psychological stress of not feeling a woman “normal” compared to the ideal anatomy, can not be underestimated.
The goal of labiaplasty is to:
eliminate functional problems
create aesthetically attractive lips
reduce the discomfort that in some cases can be painful in every day activities and in sexual intercourse
Finally, the psychological benefits for those patients who are anxious about the appearance of their genitals, are significant
Techniques of labiaplasty currently used to reduce labia minora can be divided into the following 3 groups:
The trim technique (linear removal of excess tissue)
It’s a simple approach to volume reduction. However, the aesthetic outcome is usually poor.
Excessive removal with this technique will produce an amputation outcome that is difficult to impossible to reconstruct.
The natural color and contour potentially will be lost. In addition, the scar may be visible.
The wedge technique
Preserves the natural edge of the labia, resecting a wedge of minora lips.
The desired lip reduction is achieved while maintaining the natural contour of the skin.
A central excision
In the hypertrophic labia to maintain its natural edge.
Labiaplasty
is an increasingly popular process with high rates of satisfaction, although the definition of labia minora plasty and the indications of surgery remain discussed.
Although hypertrophy of the labia minora is not strictly defined as a pathological condition, women who have aesthetic or functional issues can benefit from surgical reductions. Their satisfaction rate is very high.
