There are several types of labiaplasty

The female reproductive system is very complex. In order to protect the female reproductive system, the vaginal opening is divided into the labia majora and minora for protection. Normally, the labia majora and minora are closed to prevent bacteria from entering. However, some women have enlarged labia for some reasons. In this case, they will feel friction when putting on clothes, causing discomfort. Therefore, in order to change this phenomenon, patients choose to use labia reduction surgery. But there are different types of labiaplasty. How many specific types of labiaplasty are there?

The female vulva is guarded by the labia majora and labia minora on both sides of the vaginal entrance, which not only play a role in forming the shape of the vulva, but also are important in keeping the inside of the vagina moist and preventing contamination. The width of the labia minora in the middle of a normal woman is less than 2 cm, with natural and beautiful curves, pink inside, brown and yellowish brown on the top and outside, and there is no discomfort during sexual intercourse. However, many people suffer from a series of problems due to enlarged labia minora. Labia minora reduction surgery methods:

1. Direct excision method:

Generally, it is only necessary to cut (cut) off the excess labia minora tissue under local anesthesia and then roll it outward and suture it. However, the base tissue of the labia minora is thicker. If simple trimming is adopted, it will inevitably cause the edges of the newly formed labia minora to be thicker and unnatural. Therefore, necessary treatment should be done according to the thick base in order to achieve the ideal surgical effect.

2. Skin flap method:

For cases with thick base and large labia minora, the mucosal flap method can also be used for trimming in order to achieve the ideal effect. The specific method adopts different designs according to the different shapes of the labia minora to remove excess tissue so that the wound after suture is more hidden and has a good shape. The advantages of the flap method are less trauma and natural morphology after surgery.

The two types of labiaplasty techniques introduced above are more commonly used in clinical practice. They each have their own characteristics. Patients can ask the doctor which surgical plan to use for labiaplasty based on their own situation. In order to achieve better labia reduction effects, patients must keep their genitals clean and dry after the operation so that they can recover faster. It is also recommended that they should not have sexual intercourse during the recovery period to prevent the labia from becoming irritated and congested, leading to poor plastic surgery results.
