Abstract
Labiaplasty, the surgical modification of the labia minora, has gained popularity lately due to increasing functional and aesthetic concerns. We examine the preoperative considerations, postoperative outcomes, and potential complications associated with this intervention, while describing our center's protocol for laser labiaplasty. The use of laser technology appears to enhance surgical outcomes and minimize the infectious risk, by minimizing tissue trauma and expediting recovery. This paper highlights the importance of individualized patient care, surgeon expertise, and adherence to best practices to optimize safety and results. As labiaplasty techniques continue to evolve, further studies are necessary to evaluate their benefits, risks and long-term outcomes.
