The shape of labia minora varies greatly among different individuals. Some people are asymmetrical on both sides, one side is big and the other is small. Some people have a narrow labia minora, while others have a long labia minora that hangs to the outside of the labia majora. Some are thick, some are thin, some are irregular umbrellas, some are butterfly wings, and some are as big as fingernails, showing a typical semicircle. Some people are reddish; Some are brownish red; Some people even have two colors of labia minora, brown and black on the outside and pink on the inside. Generally speaking, its color will deepen with age and delivery times.

Surgical method of labia minora hypertrophy

1, simple resection and suture method. It is to gently pull the labia minora aside. According to the hypertrophy of the labia minora, it is necessary to remove the redundant part of the labia minora. After marking, cut off the redundant part of labia minora directly along the designed incision line and sew up the edge of the wound. This kind of operation can be divided into two types according to the design of incision line, one is linear and the other is W-shaped. Among them, the latter is an improvement on the former, that is, zigzag incision lines are designed on the inner and outer surfaces of labia minora respectively, which complement each other, and staggered contraposition stitching is carried out during sewing to keep the stitched incision lines zigzag.

2. Wedge resection. According to the hypertrophy of labia minora, a wedge-shaped incision line was designed in the most obvious prominent part of labia minora, and the prominent part of labia minora was cut along the design line, then the bleeding was completely stopped and sutured intermittently in layers. The advantage of this operation is to reduce the width and length of labia minora.

3. Central excision and suture method. According to the hypertrophy of labia minora, the parts to be peeled off were marked on the inside and outside of labia minora, and the epidermis was peeled off along the marked range. After stopping bleeding completely, the wound edge was pulled and sutured. If the labia minora is thick, it is difficult to pull and suture after resection, and the labia minora can also be completely removed and sutured in layers. However, in full-thickness resection, it is necessary to preserve the pedicles at the front and rear ends to avoid ischemic necrosis of the lateral margin of labia minora.
