The inner lips (labium minus) extend as a thin skin fold between the labia majora (labium majus). They come together in the front, in the midline, and cover the clitoris like a sheath. The inner lips can sometimes be structurally longer than normal and asymmetrical. While it looks bad aesthetically, it can also cause problems in sexual intercourse.
The operation to correct the inner lips is called labiaplasty. The inner lips are normally not visible from the outside. However, if there is sagging and growth in this part, it will bulge in this area when wearing bikinis, swimsuits, tights and tight clothes. Naturally, especially young girls are very disturbed by this situation. Reducing this sagging by surgery is called labiaplasty. Women with large and sagging inner lips also have health problems. In fact, the inner lips, which should be protected inside the outer lips, hang outside and are deprived of the protection of the outer lips. Therefore, they become vulnerable to trauma and infection.
The visual distress of the genital area may seem unnecessary to some people. However, especially women who like to wear tight clothes and even have to work in tight clothes are very uncomfortable with this situation. A bulge occurs in the swimsuit of a woman who is interested in swimming, or a ballerina, a gymnastics or fitness teacher. This situation creates great trouble for all of them. Situations requiring labiaplasty should not be evaluated only in the context of occupational illness. Wearing a swimsuit, bikini or tight tights or trousers is something that concerns all women. After all, it is the desire of all women to be both comfortable and look beautiful.
As a result, labiaplasty surgery is an operation performed to increase personal comfort. If you cannot wear tight clothing or experience frequent genital irritation and infection, you may consider surgery.
