Labiaplasty Revision

Overview

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery that aims to change the appearance, shape, or size of the labia minora (inner labia) or the labia majora (outer labia) and remove the extra amount of clitoral hood. The size, color, and shape of the labia differ from woman to woman, and these labia may change due to childbirth, aging, and other events. Therefore, there are various reasons for restoring to labiaplasty, including dissatisfaction with the size and shape of the labia minora or labia majora, pain during intercourse or hygiene, and urinary tract infections.

Am I a suitable candidate for this operation?

Labiaplasty revision operation is suitable for women who need to change the appearance, shape, or size of the labia minora or the labia majora. However, doctors may prevent performing such operations in the following cases:

  • When the inner labia are too small, it is difficult to change them.
  • If the woman has an infectious disease or if there is a tumor in her body.
  • Women who smoke, particularly those unable or unwilling to quit, either temporarily or permanently.
  • A woman who has difficulty healing her wounds.
  • During menstruation, a woman can reduce the hormonal effects and the risk of infection.
Techniques used in Labiaplasty revision operation

Labiaplasty revision operation works with multiple techniques:

The edge resection technique is the primary labiaplasty technique and involves the simple cutting of tissue from the free edge of the trim edge. In one incision method, a clamp is placed around the edges of the vulva and cuts off the circulation to prevent bleeding; small or large blades are sewn after cutting. Many surgeons prefer this method for its ease of use.

The central wedge resection involves cutting and removing a small, thick V-shaped tissue from the broadest part of the labia. In contrast to the edge resection technique, the natural wrinkles of the labia minora are preserved. If the entire thickness is removed, the nerves on the furin may be damaged, resulting in a painful or numb neuroma. One advantage of this approach is that the clitoris can protrude without needing a separate incision. It leads to obtaining the desired results and avoids performing surgeries and incisions near very sensitive areas such as the clitoris.

De-epithelialization technique: this technique reduces the epithelium by cutting the tissue on the side of the labia using a scalpel or a laser. This plastic surgery reduces excess tissue and, at the same time, maintains the natural shape of the labia, especially at the level of undulations on edge, thus preserving the sensuality of the area and also preserving the characteristics of the labia, especially the erect position during sexual excitement.

Clitoral enlargement technique: this technique is based on beautifying the foreskin of the clitoris and then removing the skin surrounding that area, which interferes with the sexual response of the woman. The clitoris contains a group of soft tissues that must be sutured after the operation, starting from the clitoral hood to the pubic bone (to avoid injury to the nerves of the vulva); thus, exposing the clitoris contributes to tightening the labia minora and may contribute to achieving more excitement.

Laser technology: the laser can be used to excise the labia minora and then reshape the epithelium.

Stages of Labiaplasty revision Operation
Perioperative

Before undergoing the operation, the following steps must be followed: First, the doctor will schedule a consultation to discuss your needs and desired results. Shaving is not recommended because it can increase the risk of infection if you get an injury. However, the hospital will remove the pubic hair if necessary.

Avoid taking any blood-thinning medication at least two weeks before the surgery. You will be asked to refrain from eating and drinking about eight hours before the operation.

Intraoperative

Labiaplasty revision operation can be performed under local, general, or procedural anesthesia. Before the incision, an anesthetic solution is injected into the labia to swell further and reduce circulation to reduce bleeding.

Postoperative

After the operation, the treated area is sensitive. Although the recovery period varies from person to person, you can return to your regular activity after one or two weeks. The patient should avoid exercise and sexual activity for four to six weeks. It is recommended to sleep on the back during the first two weeks to avoid irritation. Cold compresses are advised to prevent swelling.
