Can someone with lichen sclerosus on clitoris have labiaplasty?

Asked By:Dazzling432494 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I have lichen sclerosus on the clitoris and it’s well controlled. I discussed having labiaplasty with my dermatologist and she was concerned that the way the procedure is done can make it spread. Therefore I wanted to get a plastic surgeon’s opinion on whether the surgery would worsen lichen sclerosus or not
