Ever since my tweens I have been insecure about my private area. I have never been able to wear proper pants because they always give me camel toe and I have always had to “tuck” my labia minora to feel comfortable walking or else they pull. What procedure would you recommend?? I really just want to feel comfortable in a bathing suit and pants.
Answer: What labiaplasty procedure to use Thank you for your questionFirst understand what you are looking at. 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 (the skin directly above the clitoris) that can insert into and even overwhelm the lower pair. In your photo there is both excess prepuce(upper pair) as well as asymmetric lower pair. For optimum aesthetic results, this excess prepuce needs to be removed so as to free up the lower pair for reduction. We look to get a "bridge of the nose " appearance on this upper section. There are several ways published for reduction of the lower pair which give different appearances and each surgeon has their own preferences. What is important is what you prefer. Most of my patients request the natural edge technique. You need to do your homework and make sure your surgeon is well accomplished first in how to reduce the prepuce and second on how to reduce the lower pair. You need to look at their reviews and their before and after photos.See the video below to become more informed

Answer: Labiaplasty Based on your photo and history, you would be a good candidate for a labiaplasty procedure to reduce and reshape the labia minora. Labiaplasty surgery aims to alleviate discomfort caused by an elongated or asymmetrical labia as well as improve the aesthetic appearance. I recommend you have an in-person evaluation by a board-certified or board-eligible plastic surgeon to further discuss your concerns and surgical goals.

Answer: Labia Reduction Procedure Hi Nancy 292565, Based on your history and the attached photo it does appear that you would benefit from a labiaplasty procedure, specifically reduction of labia minora. There is a chance you may also benefit from reduction of labia majora, however this would be an important discussion with your surgeon. I recommend consulting with a surgeon who performs labiaplasty procedures frequently and can help you decide what is best for you and what is most likely to improve your quality of life. Hope this is helpful and good luck!

Answer: Labiaplasty Dear Nancy, I am sorry to hear about these issues, your anatomy is completely normal but there is labia minora hypertrophy that makes life difficult . If you choose the have a procedure I would recommend a conservative reduction of the minora, the trim method is suitable for you in my opinion, for slimming down the central part of the minora. Best of luck!
