Symptoms

Aesthetic concerns and physical discomfort led the patient to consult Dr. Jain for a solution to improve both her appearance and comfort.
Diagnostic Method
A clinical examination was performed to assess the size and condition of the labia minora. Based on the patient’s symptoms and physical findings, Dr. Jain diagnosed labia minora hypertrophy, a condition in which the labia minora are disproportionately enlarged.
Disease Diagnosed
Diagnosis: Labia Minora Hypertrophy
This diagnosis indicated that the patient’s labia were abnormally large, resulting in discomfort and cosmetic dissatisfaction. Labia minora hypertrophy is often treated through labiaplasty, a procedure designed to reduce and reshape the labia minora to a more aesthetically pleasing size while addressing any functional issues.
Treatment Plan
Dr. Jain recommended labia minoraplasty to address the patient’s concerns. The procedure involved the following steps:
Surgical Procedure:
Labia Minoraplasty (Labiaplasty): Jain performed a labia minora reduction procedure, carefully trimming the labia to a more natural and balanced shape. This procedure not only enhanced the aesthetic appearance of the genital area but also eliminated the discomfort caused by the overhanging labia.
The surgery was conducted under general anesthesia/ local anaesthesia with sedation, ensuring the patient’s comfort during the procedure. The precise technique ensured minimal scarring and long-term results.
Here the labia are trimmed using planned incisions to ensure good thck flaps which heal well without any problems. Further, sensations of the clitoris need to be preserved without causing its over-exposure.
Symmetry of both labia needs to be maintained.
Post Surgery Guidelines
Post-surgery, Dr. Jain provided comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and to avoid complications:
Keep the Area Clean: The patient was advised to maintain cleanliness in the surgical area to prevent infections.
Antibiotic Ointment: The application of antibiotic ointment for one week post-surgery helped to reduce the risk of infection and promote optimal healing.
Follow-up Care: Regular follow-ups were scheduled to monitor the healing process and ensure the aesthetic results were maintained.
Outcome
The surgery was a success, and the patient experienced a significant improvement in both the appearance and function of her genitalia. The labia were reshaped to appear more natural, and the discomfort previously caused by the overhanging tissue was resolved. The aesthetic results were highly satisfactory, with the patient expressing significant improvement in her quality of life.
Long-Term Expectation
