What can I do about the wrinkly skin between my labia and inner thighs? (Photo)

Question

I would very much like to get rid of the wrinkly skin in/between my labia and inner thighs or to at least make an improvement. I'm 28 years. I have lost some weight around 2 years ago. Would an labia majora correction also correct this? My labia majora also looks a bit deflated. I hope that I don't need anything too intrusive (like a thigh lift). Would laser treatment be effective to make an significant improvement? I don't have the money to get filler every 6 months or so.

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

The wrinkles in this area are simply folds due to the need for mobility in your legs. It is a very normal finding. However, if you wish to reduce the laxity in the skin, then skin tightening with microneedling radiofrequency such as Morpheus 8 or Fractora could assist in this. I do not recommend fillers to smooth these wrinkles as they may add bulk to the area and appear bulky or rub on your underwear line. I am not a plastic surgeon and cannot state much about thigh lifts other than they leave awful scars on many patients and are typically reserved for those who have a LOT of laxity in the skin due to excessive weight loss. As a gynecologist, your labia majora appear normal.
