I'm doing my research on Labialplasty and it seem laser cut yields better satisfaction and less trauma. Now I know it all depends on how experienced and comfortable a surgeon is and with the tools available, still my question--- Is laser cutting superior than using traditional scissor trimming, in terms of healing and recovery? Thanks in advance!

Answer: LABIAPLASTY : LASER VS SCISSOR TRIM Thank you for your question.Neither, Laser is a focused burn that leaves a char. scissors crush the proximate tissue. The scalpel does neither and will leave a thinner scar.

Answer: Labiaplasty If your labia minora are enlarged and cause discomfort, a labiaplasty is a good idea. However, it must be performed by a surgeon with experience. One of the two most common techniques is the central wedge technique, which I invented in 1995 and published in the plastic surgery textbooks. It is also known as the "V" or wedge technique. Gynecologists and most plastic surgeons perform a labioplasty very differently. They essentially trim the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) and leave a long suture line instead of the normal labial edge. Their technique is the same whether a scalpel, scissors, or laser is used. This can lead to scallops and irregularities. In contrast, the central wedge removes triangles of tissue and bring the normal edges together. Thus, the normal labial edges, normal color, and normal anatomy are preserved, but the darkest labial tissue is usually removed. If you have extra tissue on your clitoral hood, it can be reduced it at the same time. No matter the technique, an inexperienced or unskilled surgeon can lead to a high rate of complications, chronic scar discomfort, labial deformities, and further surgery. About 40% of the female genital cases I perform are revisions of labiaplasties and clitoral hoods botched by other doctors.
