Enlarged or hypertrophic labia minora can be functionally or psycho-socially bothersome. Local irritation, problems with personal hygiene, interference with sexual intercourse and discomfort during sitting, walking or cycling are indications for surgical reduction.
Reduction of the labia minora is performed under local or general anesthesia with care taken to obtain as natural a result as possible. Care is taken to avoid over-resection of the labia and to avoid interference with the clitoris or urethral opening.
This judicious reduction of the labia minora may serve to improve the physical comfort and sexuality of the patient. This procedure can be called Labiaplasty, Labioplasty, Labial Reduction Surgery, Labia Reduction Surgery, or Vulvar Surgery.
Mr. Marando will explain you the procedure in details, advise you and guide you in order to make the right choice.
