What is Labiaplasty (Inner Labia)?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size or reshape the labia minora, which are the inner folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening. The goal of labiaplasty is to create labia that are more proportionate, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing within the vulvar anatomy.

Surgical Techniques of Labiaplasty (Inner Labia)

     Trim Technique (Direct Excision)

The Trim Technique involves directly excising the excess tissue along the outer edge of the labia minora. This method effectively reduces length and creates a smoother edge.

     Wedge Technique (V-Shaped Excision)

The Wedge Technique involves removing a V-shaped or pie-shaped section of tissue from the central part of the labia minora. This technique is to maintain the natural appearance and sensation of the labia, and the scar is typically less noticeable as it’s within a fold.

Surgical Procedures of Labiaplasty (Inner Labia)

  • Anesthesia: Labiaplasty can typically be performed under local anesthesia with sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case and patient preference.
  • Incisions: The chosen technique dictates the placement and nature of the incisions.
  • Reshaping: Excess labial tissue is meticulously removed and reshaped to achieve the desired size, symmetry, and contour.
  • Closure: The remaining labial edges are carefully sutured together with fine, absorbable stitches that minimize visible scarring.
