The plastic surgeon I consulted had suggested the trim technique. The more I read about it, the more I’d prefer the wedge technique. Do you think it would be reasonable to think my surgeon would do that technique instead and that I’d still get a good result? I don’t want to look unnatural or “Barbie-like”, as some would say.

Answer: Curvilinear labiapalsty or wedge labiaplasty It’s great that you’re learning about the different labiaplasty techniques for the labia minora. Understanding your options is a key first step. Just as important is knowing how your cosmetic surgeon chooses the right approach for your specific goals. Labiaplasty isn’t one size fits all, and a thoughtful decision-making process really matters.

Answer: If your surgeon only does trims then he can’t do a wedge. It depends on the skill set of your surgeon. I ask my patients what the look is that they are going for. Some say a natural look, some say a Barbie look, some say I want no dark tissue and some say I want it smooth! All of this determines the technique and often I find myself using a combination or modification in techniques to achieve the result my patient wishes for. As others have stated, look at your surgeons work and see if the results he’s presenting is what you like. Wedge done in an unskilled hand can go very wrong. Too much removed and tension created can cause a separation. And now you have PAC Man labia….so make sure you’re comfortable with the surgeon you pick.
