My daughter is 15 and has been very insecure about her labia minora for around three years. It causes her discomfort both physically and mentally. She has thought very hard over the past three years whether she wants surgery or not and she has decided she would want it soon. She is very mature and understands what she is doing. Will she have to wait another year or is there any way she can have labia surgery at 15?
Thank you for the question.
Based on the description of your daughter's concerns and maturity level, she may be a good candidate for the labia minora reduction surgery at this time. Of course, this will depend on her physical examination and careful assessment by well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. This assessment will include her history, physical examination, motivation, maturity level, and understanding of the procedure as well as the risks/complications associated with the procedure.
I'm sure she is very grateful that you have an understanding of her concerns...
Best wishes.
My gyno discovered it about 5 years ago, after he sent me for further testing, and MRI. It came up a Lipoma. He said it was benine and it was up to me if I wanted to leave it alone. I decided to leave it alone, and now about 5 years later, it has grown and I went back to my gyno and he agreed that it has grown, but when I asked his advice, it was to leave it alone. I feel it's starting to become uncomfortable and I don't know if it's harmful to leave it alone.
Thank you for the question.
Yes, you should have a growing/symptomatic lipoma removed. It may also be advisable to remove some labia skin if it has stretched secondary to the growth of the lipoma.

Hi - I am having my labia minora and clitoral hood reduced beginning of January - local anesthesia including twilight sedation. 17 days later, I need to take a 13 hour long haul flight. Is this safe - I heard that prolonged sitting is bad and the risk of blood clots is increased? Should I cancel my flight or will I be OK as long as I walk around a lot, use support stockings, put my legs up and perhaps take an aspirin pre-flight? Thank you!
I think you will be fine, especially with the precautions you mention, flying 2 weeks after labia minora reduction surgery. Best to check with your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.
