Types of labia minora reduction techniques

Choosing the right labia minora reduction technique depends on your unique anatomy, concerns, and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Patel will evaluate factors like tissue thickness, length, and symmetry to recommend the most suitable approach.

Wedge Technique

The wedge technique involves removing a wedge-shaped section of tissue from the inner vaginal lips. This method preserves the natural edges of the labia, resulting in a seamless and natural appearance. The remaining tissue is brought together and sutured, allowing the upper part of the labia to settle naturally. Scarring is nearly imperceptible as the incisions are hidden within the labial folds. This technique is ideal for patients who want to maintain the labia’s natural texture and contour while reducing size.

Trim Technique

The trim technique involves precisely removing excess tissue along the outer edge of the labia minora. This method is highly effective for patients who wish to reduce the overall length and improve symmetry. The incisions are closed with fine sutures, which heal into a thin, linear scar along the labial edge. The trim technique is ideal for patients seeking a more streamlined appearance. Dr. Patel uses meticulous suturing techniques to minimize scarring and ensure a balanced, aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Combo: Trim technique with a modified wedge

The trim technique with a modified wedge combines elements of both the wedge and trim techniques to address complex concerns, such as vertical and horizontal labial elongation. Dr. Patel removes a wedge-shaped portion of tissue and trims the outer edge simultaneously, reducing size and achieving a balanced contour. This is ideal for patients with excess tissue in both dimensions, offering a comprehensive solution for functional and aesthetic improvement. The technique ensures natural results with minimal scarring.
