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

Question

Or to the gap between outer and inner lip?

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FACS · Answer

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

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.

E. Jacob Simhaee, MD, FACOG · Answer

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.
