Things to avoid with a Labiaplasty procedure

If you’re considering getting a labiaplasty, there are a few things you should be careful to avoid.

Make sure you don’t over-shorten the labia minora in your procedure – despite wanting a shorter labia minora, it is vital that patients consider the importance of having a labia minora that’s proportioned with their labia majora (the outer labia). The point of the vulva is to prevent bacteria from entering the vagina, over-shortening can give bacteria ease of access, causing chronic bacterial infections and other issues.
