Technical Information:
The inner lips are two structures found inside the outer lips closing the entrance to the vagina and at the same time protecting the clitoris and urethra. The surgery consists basically of removing excess tissue and giving shape to the remaining area. Sometimes this procedure is accompanied by a small infiltration of fatty tissue giving more shape and form to the vaginal lips. Permanent fillers should never be used in this area.
As with all surgical procedures, labioplasty has its risks. These include loss of sensitivity in the erogenous zone, this is temporary.. The operation is performed generally under local anaesthetic and sedation.
