Is it normal for doctors to stitch labia minora to majora?

Thank you for your question. No, it is not common for doctors to stitch the labia minora to the labia majora. There should be a space or gap between the inner labia minora and the outer labia majora. Please seek consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon regarding the revision or correction of labia minora and labia majora.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Thank you for your questionNo, the labia majora and labia minor are separate structures and attaching them can result in discomfort. Although there are circumstances where separation is difficult,They should be kept separate whenever possible.

Hello there,
Thank you for your question.Most surgeons would not suture the labia minora directly to the majora unless this was a specific request from the patient.
Hope that helps.

Hello, its not recommended to stitche the labia minors and majora. It s always preferred to have a groove/gap between labia minors and majors

Hello, suturing the labia minora and majora together is an incorrect operation technique. If such a situation has occurred, I think it would be good to have an aesthetically re-operated surgery and separate these stitches.

Dear patient thank you for your question.
In general, you should keep the two labia separate.
as part of aging and atrophy, the labia minora can shrink, but still, some remnants are there.
more information and pictures can be helpful.
Good luck and best of health.

A photograph would be required to better answer your question. However, in general the sulcus between the labia majora and labia minora should be preserved. There are different labiaplasty techniques, the most common of which are an edge trim or a wedge excision technique. In both of these techniques, the labia majora is not sutured to the labia minora.

Hello,
Thank you for the question.
During labiaplasty procedure, the labia minora and majora are not typically stitched together and the anatomic separation exists.
I would definitely discuss your questions and concerns with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon.
I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz
