Aesthetic vaginal labioplasty.

Plast Reconstr Surg

Published: September 1984

Labia minora that protrude past the labia majora are aesthetically and functionally unsatisfactory to some women. Historically, female circumcision has been practiced in Islamic/Arabic countries for many centuries and is still commonly practiced in these countries. Three case reports present middle-aged women who were dissatisfied with the size and protuberance of the labia minora, and an aesthetic labioplasty was performed in these three women. The technical aspects of this procedure are outlined, and a representative case with 3-month follow-up is presented pictorially.

A Modified Wedge Resection Technique to Achieve Natural Results in Labia Minora Reduction.

Indian J Plast Surg

December 2024

Department of Plastic Surgery, Fortis Hospital, Richmond Road, Bangalore, India.

Aesthetic genital surgeries are on the rise globally. Labia minora reduction, the most common aesthetic genital surgery, can be done either by the edge resection or by the wedge resection techniques. The edge resection technique trims the edge of the labia minora and leads to unnatural results as it does not maintain the color gradation that is naturally present on the inner surface of the labia minora or the minor irregularities that are naturally present in the labia besides posing problems like scar pain at edges during intercourse and chances of overresection.
