Labiaplasty can be performed using many different surgical techniques. After interviewing and examining the patient, it is decided which one to apply. What is important here is the condition of the tissue and the wishes of the patient. Commonly used techniques are:
- Partial resection (Curvilinear resection)- Wedge resection (V plasty)- Z plasty- Laser labiaplasty- Central wedge resection
Partial resection technique, which has a faster recovery time and better results, is the most commonly used method. Most patients also have excess tissue around the clitoris, called the 'clitoral hud'. For this reason, 'Clitoral Hudoplasty' operation is performed simultaneously with the labiaplasty procedure.

What is Clitoral Hudoplasty?
It is the process of correcting the wrinkles on the skin on the clitoris and removing the excess. It is not an operation applied directly to the clitoris. Excess skin is removed. When the inner lips are shortened with labiaplasty, the excess on the clitoris will become more prominent. Especially when viewed from above, this excess will create a 'micropenis' appearance. Therefore, this region should be considered as a whole.
Labiaplasty and clitoral hudoplasty are often performed together. When done together, a symmetrical image is obtained without redundancy between the outer lips. In fact, most patients want a straight line with no sagging tissue in between when the legs are closed. The name of this line is the 'Venus line'.

Things to consider after labiaplasty
It is normal to have edema for a few days after the operation. However, this needs to be under control. This process should be well managed with ice application and various medical treatments. If the edema is out of control, the sutures will be stretched and the desired aesthetic appearance will be greatly affected. For the first few days, therefore, prolonged standing and sitting should be avoided. The recommended dressing time against infection must be strictly followed. The first sexual intercourse after the operation is postponed until the end of 1 month. Stretching and stretching movements of this area should be avoided for 1 month.
Will there be any scars after labiaplasty?
The risk of scarring after the surgical operation is proportional to the wound healing of the person. Other than that, the materials used depend on the surgeon's experience and technique. There is a point where we are lucky that; The genital area is a very rich area in terms of blood supply. Therefore, the probability of scarring is very low.

It is an operation that positively affects sexual pleasure. When it looks better aesthetically, the person will feel good. The pleasure taken during the relationship will increase due to the increase in self-confidence. Again, when the inner lips are long, there may be physical difficulties during intercourse. When the inner lips are shortened with labiaplasty, relationships will be more comfortable and enjoyable. Since the excess on the clitoris is removed with clitorohudoplasty, orgasm will be easier.

The desired 'Venus Line' appearance is achieved with combined surgeries performed together.
