    Abstract

    Labiaplasty is the surgical term for labia minora reduction. This procedure has become popular with plastic surgery patients because physical discomfort and cosmetic concerns are virtually always combined. Demand for this procedure is becoming common amongst very young patients who appear to have nurtured a complex since their early adolescent years, disturbing their love life. There are several possible corrective surgical techniques, the postoperative courses of which vary significantly. The traditional method (longitudinal resection) remains the most widely used, but requires resection of the larger part of the labia minora, which is why in our opinion the V plasty technique seems more appropriate. The benefits, technical details, complications and postoperative course of the V plasty technique are detailed by the author in this article.
