Labioplasty, How Do I Know if I Need Labiaplasty?



Hi
How Do I Know if I Need Labiaplasty?






Answer:




The demands for labiaplasy (any procedure to alter the size and shape of the labia) seem to have increased in the recent past. Labiaplasty procedures have gained significant popularity over the past 5 years due to changes in fashion and grooming as well as due to further education and media exposure. With grooming trends limiting amount of genital hair, a woman's long or asymmetric labia (or inner lips) are more apparent.
The typical patient that presents desiring labiaplasty has a very similar combination of signs and symptoms. Essentially all patients have relatively large inner labia that hang out past the outer labia and therefore are always visible whether sitting, standing, or laying down - this is the most common aesthetic concern. Some have functional problem from this such as drying, chafing, frequent infections, and/or uncomfortable in activities such as bicycle riding, running, and during sexual intercourse. The pain could be described as pinching, rubbing or irritation of the excess skin and to have discomfort with certain tight fitting clothes and pinching of the “excess” tissue in tight fitting clothing.
Labiaplasty is a surgical technique to reduce the amount of skin and mucosal tissue in the labia of a female patient.This is performed to rejuvenate the appearance of the labia and to improve the patient's comfort. Surgery typically takes approximately 1 hour and performed under local
anesthesia approximately 80% of the time.
