Labia minora reduction surgery offers various techniques. A new algorithm helps surgeons select the best labiaplasty method based on patient anatomy and aesthetic goals, achieving high satisfaction rates.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Gynecology

Background:

Labiaplasty for labia minora reduction is increasingly popular.
Existing techniques lack a standardized approach for matching procedures to patient needs.
A clear algorithm is needed to guide surgical technique selection.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of different labia minora reduction techniques.
To introduce a novel algorithm for optimizing surgical method selection.
To correlate patient outcomes with specific reduction procedures.

Main Methods:

Patients were categorized by labial size.
Three reduction techniques were employed: edge excision, inferior wedge resection, and deepithelialization.
Surgical technique selection was based on labial hypertrophy and patient aesthetic preferences.

Main Results:

Twelve procedures were performed across the three techniques.
92% of patients reported high satisfaction with aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Complications were minor, with only one patient dissatisfied due to overreduction.

Conclusions:

All three labiaplasty techniques are effective in various clinical scenarios.
A new algorithm aids in matching patients to the optimal reduction technique.
The algorithm considers hypertrophy degree and aesthetic goals for personalized treatment.
