Hypertrophied labia are characterized byuneven increase in the size of the labia minora in relation to the labia majora. Reduction of the labia minora, their rejuvenation is performed using a special operation called labioplasty. The operation has one goal - to improve the appearance of the female genitals. At the same time, the appearance of the genitals from an aesthetic point of view is improved without any negative effects on the body, and this operation will allow a woman to normalize the anatomical condition of the genitals. Reduction of the labia minora for aesthetic reasons by surgical means was first performed in 1983. Technological improvements and modification of the operation were performed not so long ago: in 1998 and 2005. These innovations made it possible to prevent the development of complications, obtaining an excellent result from a cosmetology point of view.

And why the labia grows?

There are many factors thatcontribute to the enlargement of the labia minora. It happens that a woman is born with this abnormal phenomenon, others acquire it with age. Enlargement of the labia minora can occur after natural childbirth, for example, due to the formation of hematomas. Piercing of the genitals can also lead to the development of lip asymmetry. A unique operation - labioplasty, which is aimed at correcting the size and shape, as described above, appeared relatively recently. However, cult circumcision has been practiced for many hundreds of years in some Arab countries. The choice in favor of surgery should be made by the woman herself. The main reasons for surgical intervention include the following factors:

• heredity. Excess skin appears during puberty, and the adolescent comes to the conclusion that the genitals differ in their shape from the norm. Often it turns out that small enlarged labia lips seem to "peep" because of large ones, which makes it practically impossible to wear tight lingerie. In addition, many girls begin to complex, experiencing fear of intimacy, refusing to visit public baths or swimming pools.
• acquired anomaly due to mechanicaldamage and age changes. Basically, it manifests itself after childbirth during tearing and stretching of the birth canal (the vagina shrinks, returning to its original size, and the skin of the lips remains saggy).

How is the labia resection performed?

How to reduce the labia?The shape can be corrected under general or local anesthesia. As a rule, the operation lasts less than an hour. The type of anesthesia is selected individually, depending on the complexity of the operation, the general condition of the patient and individual preferences. Although even with general anesthesia, inpatient treatment is not required. The labia can be reduced by the traditional method with a scalpel or newer instruments such as a laser or radio knife. Each method has its advantages, and the choice is characterized by the structure and condition of the tissues of the lips. When planning intimate plastic surgery, it is better to focus on choosing a good doctor, since success mainly depends on the level of training of the surgeon. Examining the patient during the consultation, the doctor himself will advise the most optimal way to eliminate the problems.

Existing ways of correction

Resection is central triangular. This method allows you to get pretty good results. During the operation, the triangular part of the labia is removed. The advantages include conservation of natural forms and corrugated outer edge. Among the shortcomings, there is a violation of genital innervation, loss or deterioration of sensitivity, which manifests itself in the numbness of the labia.

Amputation. Old and very unfortunate way, in which small lips are simply cut off. They can be removed completely or partially. With partial removal, there can be a disturbance of the natural appearance due to the absence of a corrugated edge, deterioration of the sensitivity of the genital organs, damage to nerves, a twisted state of the inner part of the labia minora. Complete removal is absolutely unacceptable, because this leads to severe violations of the structure of the genitals, their functioning, violation of intimate life and sensitivity, loss of erogenous zones, dryness of the vagina.

Laser plastic. This procedure is considered one of the most progressive.

The most widespread method is inlast years. It is possible to achieve complete symmetry of the labia minora. There is no violation of innervation. The result is able to satisfy almost any patient.

De-epithelialization. This method was described in detail in 2000. It is based on the removal of the epithelium of the outer and inner parts of the labia minora. The operation can be performed by a laser. Of the disadvantages can be identified a tangible increase in the width of the labia.

Combination of clitoral plastic surgery with reduction of smalllabia minora. This method is used for hypertrophy of the labia minora, which is combined with thickening of the skin located above the clitoris, which leads to difficulties in stimulating it during intimacy and, as a consequence, to a decrease in the positive emotions received. Correction of the labia and clitoral plastic surgery are the most acceptable way out of this situation.

Preoperative preparation

Any surgical intervention, like resection of the labia, requires a number of procedures:

• coordination of the time and date of the operation. It must be performed at least 10 days before the onset of menstruation;
• delivery of a clinical analysis of blood, urine and HIV tests, syphilis, hepatitis (the doctor can additionally prescribe other tests);
• Do not take water and food for 12 hours before surgery (especially important with general anesthesia);
• Cleansing the body with an enema the night before and the morning before the operation.

If there is any anxiety, you can ask your doctor to prescribe a mild sedative that is compatible with anesthesia.

Postoperative period

The recovery period under favorable conditionsThe period after the operation is usually 7-11 days. Throughout this time, it is necessary to strictly follow all medical instructions and carefully monitor hygiene, otherwise inflammation may occur. Intimacy is not allowed for 20-30 days after the operation. The entire process of reducing the labia is quite safe. With proper care, serious complications and long-term loss of ability to work are not observed.
