I thought the majora covers the minora. I had my labiaplasty to reshape the majora as they were elongated after menopause. The majora obviously covered the minora and 'protected' them. I had the minora slightly shaped for symmetry purposes. Why is it that my inner minora now protrude outside the majora? This causes dryness, pain, soreness and is so uncomfortable. Is there anything that can be done about this? It's very upsetting.
Answer: Labia minora I'm sorry to hear of your discomfort. I encourage you to return to your surgeon to discuss your concerns. It may be a revision to trim the minora would be recommended. Another option is labia "puffing".

Answer: Revision or labia puffing It’s unfortunate that you’ve had to experience this. It would be a good idea to return to your surgeon to discuss your concerns. You’re right - the labia minora should not protrude so much beyond the labia majora that it causes discomfort. You may need a revision, although it would be difficult to say what treatment would be suitable for you without knowing more details. Labia puffing, which involves fat transfer to the labia majora, may be an option.

Answer: Labia minora now sticks out of majora after labiaplasty, what can be done? Hello, Thank you for the question. I'm sorry to hear that you are not fully happy with your labiaplasty results. It may be possible that you need additional labia minora (inner lips) tissues removed, so that they do not hang outside of labia major and cause discomfort and irritation. I would also wait at least a full year from your original surgery prior to undergoing revision surgery because the wound healing takes up to 1 year to be completed. I would definitely discuss your questions and concerns with your Plastic Surgeon or a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in Labiaplasty procedures. I hope this helps. Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena Karanetz Fellowship-Trained Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Evolve Plastic Surgery Queens, New York

Answer: How to fix an overdone labia majora reduction when the labia minora protrude Your photo didn't come through. You should definitely repost. Nonetheless, labia majora fat injections (also called labial puffing) can usually restore the protective effect of the labia majora and possibly provide a degree of cover. Without photos, though, nothing can be recommended. If you wish to share photos privately, schedule a virtual consultation.
