The plastic reconstruction of the labia minora

Most often, women apply to the plastic surgery clinic with regard to elongation of the labia minora or their asymmetry. The significant asymmetry gives women more pronounced discomfort, than elongation. Most often this is a congenital problem, but it may be a consequence of birth trauma.

The plastic surgeon examines the patient during the consultation on the labia minora and listens to her wishes. He must explain the anatomical aspects, the functional significance of small and large labia.The surgery should lead to a complete anatomical harmony, maintaining the proportions and retaining all the natural folds. For this purpose, all the planned scope and course of the coming operation is being discussed.

ntimate plasty is usually performed on an outpatient basis. So, the patient comes to the clinic at the appointed time, where she undergoes the surgery, and a few hours later she leaves for home.Before the surgery, it is necessary to pass all the necessary laboratory tests. The surgery takes about an hour. The duration depends on the complexity of each case. Often local and regional anesthesia is enough for adequate intraoperative pain management, although in some cases it is desirable to se general anesthesia.

Before the patient leaves the clinic after the labiaplasty, he will receive recommendations of the attending physician. The postoperative period is accompanied by a moderate discomfort. It is necessary to limit physical activity and eliminate thermal procedures for two weeks. In case of satisfactory course there is no need for check-ups and bandaging, active hygienic regimen compliance is sufficient. All sutures diffuse on their own within 10-12 days..

Sexual life can be restored after 2-3 weeks after surgery. The decreased sexual sensitivity may be observed for 2 months. The scarring passes favorably; the surgical intervention signs are completely absent.
