Labiaplasty

In today’s world, in addition to paying attention to the beauty of appearance, the beauty of the body organs has also been significantly noticed. Some of these surgeries have attracted the attention of women is the beauty of the sexual organs. The female genitalia are made up of different parts. One of these parts is called the labia. The labia are a flesh-like organ that protects the internal organs of the female reproductive system, such as the clitoris and vaginal opening.

In some women, for various reasons, the labia of the genitals become large, deformed and discolored, resulting in chronic sexual arousal, being visible through tight clothing, and even lack of self-confidence during sexual intercourse. The anatomy of the labia in women and girls is significantly different and can change over time, especially after childbirth. Large or uneven vaginal lips can cause various problems for women. Large labia (vaginal lips) appear when a woman wears a tight suit or bikini. This causes the person to constantly use loose clothing to get rid of this worry, which puts a lot of restrictions on him to choose his favorite clothes. For some people, the problem is a little more complicated, and the lips of the large vagina cause chronic irritation and discomfort during work, exercise, and even the tasks of daily life, all of which, of course, are common with labiaplasty, which is usually performed by a gynecologist. It can be done on an outpatient basis. In this situation, women try to correct this structural problem. The surgery that corrects this problem is called labiaplasty. In this surgery, the inner or outer edges of the vagina are shortened and corrected.

Labiaplasty surgery is the removal of all or part of the labia minora (lips around the vagina) called labiaplasty which is done to shrink and symmetrical the outer or minor lips of the vagina. This surgery does not require hospitalization and anesthesia and can be performed on day clinics with local anesthesia. In this method, which uses the Mona Lisa laser, the labia are cut by a laser instead of a scalpel. Due to the fact that the vagina is a sensitive area and there are a lot of nerves in this area, laser labiaplasty is very easy and even has a shorter recovery period. Another advantage of laser surgery is faster blood clotting due to less bleeding and inflammation. Also, the high accuracy of the laser can produce a much better result.

According to statistics, most women who apply for labiaplasty want to reduce the size or length of the inner edge of their vagina. Although the size of the vaginal edge has not been theoretically defined so far, the best condition for most women is one in which the inner edge of the vagina does not protrude from the outer edge. Of course, it should be noted that in this surgery, the extra amount of clitoral cap (hoodectomy) can also be removed.

 

The main reasons why women undergo vaginal cosmetic surgery are:

  • Pain during sexual intercourse
  • Having a clean and beautiful appearance
  • Correction of apparent vaginal asymmetry
  • Low clitoral stimulation due to extra clitoral cap skin
  • Pain or discomfort during activities such as cycling
  • Discomfort when wearing tight clothing such as leggings and jeans
  • Feeling of stretch, wear and burning during exercise

Concerns about sexuality after labiaplasty are a concern for many women who want to have labiaplasty. It is important to know that the clitoris is the main organ in sexual arousal and has a lot of sensory nerves. Removing excess skin will make the clitoris more visible and increase irritability.

In addition, due to the large size of the labia, penetration is difficult for many women, so shrinking the labia is facilitated by labiaplasty. Also, improving the appearance of the genital area increases self-confidence and more sexual pleasure.

 

Types of labia

  • The labia majora: The labia majora, or outer labia, are two layers of skin that extend from Venus Hill on the pubic bone to the perineum. It is responsible for covering and protecting sensitive and internal structures such as the vaginal opening, labia minora and clitoris.
  • Minor labia or inner labia: Two layers of skin on each side of the vaginal opening that lies between the labia majora. The labia minora vary in color and size among women. The labia minora extend from the clitoris down to either side of the vaginal opening.

 

Good candidates for Labiaplasty

Many women are born with asymmetric tissue or extra edges on the outside of the vagina. Some menopause the edges of their vaginas sag and loosen due to loss of collagen and elastin. Women who feel uncomfortable walking, exercising, or having sex because of too much tissue in the area are good candidates for labiaplasty surgery. Vaginal cosmetic clients are mostly women who:

  • They have reached the age of menopause.
  • Their age has increased.
  • Have suffered severe weight loss.
  • Have experienced natural pregnancies and deliveries.
  • They have inherently sagging and loose pelvic floor muscles.
  • Genetic factors that lead to enlargement, elongation, asymmetry, or a combination of all of these complications in their minor labia.

 

Different techniques of Labiaplasty

There are different methods for performing labiaplasty surgery. But there are usually two methods that surgeons prefer:

  • Trim technique: In this technique, the inner lips are clamped and incisions are made and the edges are sutured. This type of surgery takes about 1 hour. The image below shows this method.
  • Wedge technique: By making a V-shaped incision at the edges of the minor lip, the most tissue to be removed will be the central tissue. This type of surgery will take longer, but will have better results.

Pre-Operative Care of Labiaplasty

One of the important points before performing labiaplasty is to choose an experienced gynecologist in this field to get the best results. The doctor carefully examines the genital area and vagina to determine how much of the labia should be removed. Before performing labiaplasty, the genital area should be washed thoroughly with soap and water. Although the risk of pain after labiaplasty is very low, painkillers are considered for the patient.

The patient should also inform the doctor of any medication taken. Some medications, such as aspirin or anti-inflammatory and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, increase the risk of bleeding and should be stopped before surgery.

 

Procedure of Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty surgery takes about one to two hours and can be performed under local anesthesia where the patient will not feel any pain. During labiaplasty, laser anesthesia of the genital area is first performed using topical ointments, and after thirty minutes, the gynecological cosmetic surgeon injects a local anesthetic ampule to completely anesthetize the genital area. In general, the labiaplasty procedure involves removing excess tissue on either side of the labia minora. The purpose of doing this is to establish symmetry and natural beauty with the least amount of scars. Labiaplasty is performed in two ways, Wedge and Trim. In fact, laser labiaplasty is performed under local anesthesia, without bleeding and suturing, but in cases where the person has very thick labia, a small number of sutures are used to prevent bleeding.

After the Labiaplasty, there is a possibility of inflammation and swelling around the labia, which is completely normal and will disappear over time. Some people complain of numbness in the area, which will go away over time.
