One of the intimate problems many women complain of are protruding labia minora. Although, in principle, it is not a change of pathological nature (i.e. does not require treatment from a medical point of view), it may significantly hamper many daily activities, causing discomfort. On the other hand, aesthetic considerations may contribute to lower self-esteem and dissatisfaction with sexual intercourse.
Labioplasty is an aesthetic surgery whose aimisto change the size or shape of the labia. The main indicationis hypertrophied labia minor, which can make it difficult for women to practice sport and enjoy sexual intercourse, as well as their asymmetry. It is worth remembering that labiahypertrophy may appear in women who have undergone difficult births, often have intimate infections and wear jewelry in intimate places.
The procedure is preceded by local anesthesia using a needle.Finally, thin seams are put on and then removed by a doctor after 7-10 days.
It should be remembered that the aesthetic effect of this type of surgery is relative and it is not always possible to perfectly reduce the smaller labia so that they hide between the larger ones. In addition, slight asymmetryis natural and expected.
