Hypertrophy of the labia minora, in most cases, has a congenital etiology, but it can develop with aging and after the use of hormones or chronic cutaneous inflammation. Adolescence is characterized by great hormonal variation, with rapid growth of the breasts and genital organs, with changes in size, shape, and appearance. During this phase, an exaggerated increase in the labia minora occurs in the vulva.

Labiaplasty for skin removal is indicated when the size of the labia minora exceeds the labia majora, not only for aesthetic reasons but also because it can improve local hygiene, in addition to repairing the psychological damage associated with low self-esteem. There is no ideal aesthetic genital standard. However, many women consider small and symmetrical labia that do not protrude beyond the labia majora to be harmonious.

And what most patients do not know is that surgery for the correction of labia minora hypertrophy is included in the list of procedures with mandatory coverage by health plans. 👍

If this is a problem that bothers you and is interfering with your well-being and self-esteem, check your health plan's coverage and schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon to clarify all your doubts. 😉
