Hunger arises when the brain detects changes in the body's nutrient levels, including glucose, lipids, amino acids, and hormones such as ghrelin and leptin. The hypothalamus plays a central role in hunger regulation. The lateral hypothalamus...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Labiaplasty procedures have seen a notable increase in France.
  • Limited research exists on patient satisfaction following labiaplasty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate patient motivations for undergoing labiaplasty.
  • To assess patient satisfaction after labiaplasty surgery.

Main Methods:

  • An observational prospective study was conducted over 18 months.
  • Patients over 18 were included, excluding those with Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
  • Data was collected via questionnaires at surgery and phone interviews at 3 and 6 months post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • Thirty patients were included, with high response rates at 3 and 6 months.
  • 95% of patients reported satisfaction at 6 months, with 84% "extremely" satisfied.
  • Significant improvements were noted in functional (94%) and aesthetic (84%) discomfort. All patients would recommend the surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Labiaplasty addresses significant functional discomfort.
  • High patient satisfaction is observed at 3 and 6 months post-surgery.
  • Discomfort during dressing is a primary driver for seeking labiaplasty.
