METHODS: The composite reduction labiaplasty technique was performed on 33 women aged 18-50 with Grades 2-4 labia minora hypertrophy. The exclusion criteria included menopausal and sexually inactive women, as well as women with vulvar disorders, a history of vaginal or labial surgery, other gynecological disorders, psychological disorders, and malignancies. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS) questionnaires were administered to the study subjects before and three months after their surgery, during their follow-up appointments.
RESULTS: The mean age of the subjects was 30.73 ± 3.94 years. Their mean parity was 1.12 ± 0.82. Almost 70% of them had a university degree. Their most common reason for desiring labiaplasty was aesthetic concerns (48.48%). Their total FGSIS scores were 11.85 ± 1.35 preoperatively and 24.48 ± 1.66 postoperatively, and their total FSFI scores were 13.29 ± 1.68 preoperatively and 24.48 ± 1.66 postoperatively.
CONCLUSIONS: Labiaplasty surgery is a safe surgical procedure. It has a positive effect on women\'s genital self-image and sexual functions.
