Area of Science:

  • Female Genital Surgery
  • Aesthetic Genital Procedures
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Increasing demand for female genital cosmetic surgery.
  • Over 2,100 procedures performed since 2001, primarily labia minora reduction.
  • Evolution of labiaplasty techniques to address shape and function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an advanced technique for labia minora reduction and clitoral hood tightening.
  • To address clitoral protrusion and enhance overall aesthetic and functional outcomes.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the composite reduction labiaplasty.

Main Methods:

  • S-shaped excision of excessive labia minus tissue.
  • Creation and advancement of a cranial pedicle flap from the clitoral hood.
  • Removal of specific skin segments to achieve tightening and correction of clitoral protrusion.

Main Results:

  • Successful management of 812 cases using the composite reduction labiaplasty technique.
  • Aesthetically and functionally very satisfactory outcomes in most patients.
  • Wound healing without major complications; few cases required surgical correction for dehiscence.

Conclusions:

  • Composite reduction labiaplasty provides balanced reduction and tightening of the labia minora, including the clitoral hood region.
  • Effective correction of clitoral protrusion and improved clitoris positioning.
  • No impairment of sexual sensation; 35% reported increased sexual stimulation post-surgery.
