I've been bothered by the appearance of my right inner labia since puberty. I'm wondering how well a labiaplasty would work with making the left and right sides match better. Is it achieveable to get the right side into a similar shape to the left without operating on both sides? Also would it cost less to have only 1 side worked on or would it cost the same regardless? - thanks in advance!

Answer: Can labiaplsty help asymmetry Thank you for your questionAbsolutely it can but results will depend on the method you choose. You should be aware of what will maximize your results. There are actually two pair of inner labia. A lower pair that inserts into the clitoris and an upper pair, called prepuce, that forms the hood and ,in your case , enters into and interferes with the lower pair. Much of your asymmetry is the effect of the overgrowth of your prepuce. This should be reduced to a "bridge of the nose" appearance, thus freeing up the lower pair for reduction. I believe the best treatment for the lower pair is the natural edge( posterior delimitation or posterior resection techniques) which will give you natural petit symmetric appearance with hidden suture lines. Do your homework, look at before and after photos, and read reviews. You can have a really beautiful result given your nice anterior edges if done right.

Answer: Labia Minora Asymmetry Labia Minora asymmetry is normal and extremely common. Many women are not bothered this and that is great. However, there are some women with asymmetry that seek labiaplasty due to aesthetic (appearance) and/ or functional concerns (rubbing in clothing or while exercising etc.). Genital anatomy is extremely variable, and in many situations a unilateral labiaplasty can be performed to reduce the excess tissue of the labia minora on the larger side to achieve better symmetry. If the woman is happy with the contralateral labia minora shape and size, then a unilateral labiaplasty can be performed. If they feel that the contralateral side is too large or dislikes the shape, a bilateral labiaplasty can often better address their concerns. It is important to understand however that it is not possible to achieve perfect symmetry- even in the best circumstances there will be some residual asymmetry.

Answer: Labiaplasty Thank you for your inquiry! Labiaplasty can be not only performed for aesthetic purposes but also for functionality. I recommend scheduling a consult with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself to create a surgical plan with the goal of creating symmetry and providing you with aesthetically pleasing results.

Answer: Asymmetry Hi supergirlpro! It is not uncommon to have asymmetry between your labia minora. It is definitely a possibility to have a one sided labiaplasty to make them more symmetric. Cost is most likely going to be slightly less because it is less time. I would recommend consulting with board certified plastic surgeons in your area to discuss the risks and complications and make sure you understand the expectations. I hope this helps!

Answer: Labiaplasty A labiaplasty could improve your asymmetry dramatically. A central wedge approach on just the right side would remove that central excess and they would be much closer - but probably never identical.
