“…Therefore, women may consider labiaplasty to address their aesthetic or functional concerns. 2,4,5 In line with data reported by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the requests for labia minoraplasty have increased by 217.2 percent from 2012 to 2017. 2 This considerable increase in labia minoraplasty demands that plastic surgeons be up to date with the surgical techniques and their respective indications, complications, and satisfaction rates.…”

Background: The considerable increase in labiaplasty requires plastic surgeons to be acquainted with the surgical techniques, their respective complications, and satisfaction rates. The authors conducted a systematic review of the available evidence on labia minoraplasty, looking at surgical techniques, clinical outcomes, and patient satisfaction. Methods: A comprehensive search across PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Cochrane CENTRAL was performed through October of 2020. A random-effects model meta-analysis was performed to assess satisfaction and complication rates. Results: Forty-six studies including 3804 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The pooled satisfaction rate after labia minoraplasty was 99 percent (95 percent CI, 97 to 99 percent). Substantial heterogeneity was present across studies (I2 = 63.09 percent; p < 0.001). The highest pooled incidence of dehiscence was reported for laser-assisted labiaplasty (5 percent; 95 percent CI, 2 to 8 percent) and wedge resection (3 percent; 95 percent CI, 1 to 5 perecent). The highest pooled incidence of hematoma formation (8 percent; 95 percent CI, <1 to 23 percent) and postoperative bleeding (2 percent; 95 percent CI, <1 to 15 percent) was reported for W-shape resection. The highest pooled incidence of transient pain or discomfort was reported for de-epithelialization (2 percent; 95 percent CI, <1 to 23 percent) and W-shape resection (2 percent; 95 percent CI, <1 to 15 percent). Three cases of flap necrosis were reported; two occurred using wedge resection labia minoraplasty and one was not specified. The most common causes for revision surgery (n = 169) were dehiscence and aesthetic concerns. Conclusions: Labia minoraplasty is a safe procedure, but serious complications requiring surgical management have been reported. Surgical experience, knowledge of female genital anatomy, and thorough technique selection in accordance with the patient characteristics are mandatory.
