Hello what would be suggested for labiaplasty based on my picture. i should note that i’m extremely sensitive on or near the clitoris and i do not want that area touched as i feel that more sensitivity would be annoying and uncomfortable. also, what is this tissue at the beginning of my vagina? i’m wondering if it’s remnants from the repair to my 3rd degree tear? when i bear down it pushes outwards.

Answer: Labiaplasty method Your labia minora are enlarged but not massively enlarged. A labiaplasty is a good idea, but 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 or a 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. The frenula and clitoris are not violated. 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. Gary J. Alter, M.D. Beverly Hills, CA - Manhattan, NY

Answer: Labiaplasty method Thank you for your question There are two pair of inner labia. A lower pair that inserts into the clitoris and an upper pair called prepuce that forms the hood and which can insert into and distort the lower pair. The prepuce should be treated first to free up the lower pair which can be reduced by several methods. Trimming is one. I would check out the natural edge method which leaves a petite natural appearance with hidden scars.Research your surgeons thoroughly looking at reviews and before and after photos.You can get more information in the video below
