Labioplasty: Anatomy, etiology and a new surgical approach

Abstract

Increasing numbers of women are seeking correction of labial hypertrophy for aesthetic and/or functional reasons. It is therefore important for plastic surgeons to become familiar with labioplasty surgical techniques. The authors review the history and current status of labioplasty surgery for practicing plastic surgeons, with particular emphasis on anatomy, diagnosis, indications, and various techniques. © 2011 The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Inc.
