LABIAPLASTY |
 |
Labiaplasty is a procedure aimed at
reducing the size and/or reshaping the labia minora also known
as the “Inner vaginal lips”, or the labia majora which are the
larger part covered by skin and hair just outside of the lips.
Labia Minora Reduction
Labia minora reduction is a procedure performed on women who are
not satisfied with the large size of their labia minora, which
can be protuberant causing them not only embarrassment during
sexual activity, but also discomfort in their daily life
especially when wearing tight pants and during sports. In this
case labia minora reduction can be performed to reduce the
enlarged labia minora and greatly improve their aesthetic
appearance providing both physical and psychological benefits
The traditional way to do the procedure consists of trimming the
enlarged labia all along their edge. And while it is a simple
procedure, it leaves the labia with a scar tissue alongside the
edge that is esthetically and functionally unsatisfactory to the
patient regardless whether a scalpel or a laser is used .It also
causes the loss of the normally pigmented tissue at the edge of
the labia which is replaced by the lighter colored tissue
usually seen in the inner side of the labia.
The latest operative techniques, although technically more
demanding, have the advantage of preserving the normal anatomy
of the labia minora edge, contour and color with excellent post
operative results. Since no two women are alike, different
approaches are available using refined techniques to obtain
great results for each individual patient.
