    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Sexual Health
    • Plastic Surgery

    Background:

    • The optimal amount of residual labial tissue after labiaplasty remains a subject of debate.
    • Understanding the impact of residual tissue on patient outcomes is crucial for surgical technique refinement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between the amount of residual labial tissue post-labiaplasty and female sexual function.
    • To assess the impact of residual labial tissue on sexual experience, body image, and partner satisfaction.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective study included 150 females undergoing labiaplasty and their partners.
    • Patients were categorized into two groups based on residual labial width: >1 cm (Group 1) and <1 cm (Group 2).
    • Sexual function, experience, body image, and partner erectile function were evaluated preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively using validated questionnaires.

    Main Results:

    • All patients experienced improvements in sexual function, sexual experience, and body image following labiaplasty.
    • Greater improvement was observed in patients with residual labial tissue exceeding 1 cm.
    • Partners reported similar positive changes in their sexual experience and satisfaction.

    Conclusions:

    • Preserving over 1 cm of labial tissue after labiaplasty is associated with enhanced sexual function in females.
    • This finding may be attributed to better protection of neurovascular structures, preserving sensation.
    • The positive effects on sexual function and satisfaction extend to partners, indicating the importance of residual tissue for overall relationship well-being.
