HECHAVARRIA JIMENEZ, Yulexi  and  ROJAS BRUZON, Raquel. Labiaplasty of the labia minors with a Trim technique. ccm [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.4, pp. 990-1001. ISSN 1560-4381.

Introduction: the labiaplasty, in contrast to the procedures that include vaginal rejuvenation, focuses on the vulva and labia, in this technique a portion of the hypertrophic labia is removed and, occasionally, an increase is made in the labia majora. These problems may arise, due to childbirth, hormone treatments, over-efforts, or a genetic component, making women feel less confident, which can cause damage to self-esteem and ultimately, discomfort Objective:  to identify the main causes of demand for labiaplasty for patients and their evolution. Methods:   a study of ten patients treated at the Vladimir Ilich Lenin Hospital from January 2015 to January 2016 with hypertrophy and / or asymmetry of the labia minora and who were operated using the Trim technique was reported. Age, causes of consultation (physical, psychological and aesthetic), type of deformity, appearance of complications and satisfaction of the patients under study were identified. Results: the results were very good. The age range prevailed in young patients between 20 and 39 years of age, the reason why all the patients underwent the surgery was primarily aesthetic, although a total of 6 patients also reported functional disorders. The central hypertrophy of the lip was the most frequent type of deformity. There were no intraoperative complications and the postoperative complications were minor due to the hypersensitivity that disappeared over the months Conclusions: after surgery, patients achieved symmetrical labia minora with good aesthetic appearance and reduced symptoms.

Keywords : labiaplasty; aesthetic surgery; aesthetic result.
