Labioplasty / Labia Minora Reduction
Many women are unhappy with the size
of their Labia Minora (inner vaginal lips) which may
cause insecurity or embarrassment with a sexual partner, discomfort
in tight fitting pants or swim wear or other hygienic problems.
When Labia Minora are enlarged or unequal in size, some women
harbor feelings of deformity or being abnormal, with loss
of self-esteem. Most women do not desire the smaller inner
vaginal lips to project much beyond the larger outer lips.
Many women desire the smaller inner lips not to extend beyond
the outer lips at all.
Most Labia Minora Reductions
are performed by amputating or excising the protuberant/excess
tissue and oversewing the raw edge. This technique replaces
the natural contour and normally darker pigmented labial border
with an unnatural and irregular scar line of more lightly
colored inner labial tissue. A newer technique preserves the
normal contour and color of the labia minora edge. The protuberant
labia are removed in such a way that allows re-approxiamtion
of the normal labia minora edges. After healing, a normal
appearing labia minora remains with surgery essentially undetectable.
