What used to be “secret women’s business”, labioplasty is now a topic that is more openly discussed in Sydney society. Functional and aesthetic outcomes are important to women, and both the psychological and physical aspects of labioplasty have to be considered before surgery is an option.
The majority of labioplasty surgery involves the labia minora. Redundancy of the labia minora causes them to protrude outside the labia majora. The redundant labia minora is uncomfortable for the woman when it rubs against clothing and makes it difficult for cycling and exercise. Sometimes the labia minora folds inwards during sexual intercourse which makes it very awkward and it can be embarrassing for both the woman and her partner. Hence, corrective surgery for the labia minora has functional benefits for the woman. There are several techniques available for labia minora reduction, depending on the final appearance that the woman would like to achieve.
Requests for corrective surgery for the labia majora are usually cosmetic. With childbirth, weight loss and increasing age, labia majora can lose bulk and look shrivelled. The excess skin bothers some women enough for them to request corrective surgery. The labia minora may also have to be trimmed to maintain its proportion relative to the labia majora. Then there are the bikini models who have corrective surgery so they look good in the skimpiest bikinis.
Culturally, it is more acceptable for surgical techniques to be used to achieve a certain ideal, which is an unobtrusive and symmetrical female genitalia. Women are subjected to the media and sometimes there is pressure to conform, although it is accepted that there is a wide range of normal.
As everyone is different a thorough medical history and examination is required. This enables optimal planning and outcome. A full understanding of the procedure, likely outcome and potential risks need to be fully understood.
