Abstract: Objective:To explore a surgical method for patients with moderate to severe hypertrophy of the labia minora, obvious pigmentation, and bilateral asymmetry.Methods:From August 2016 to August 2018, we applied a combined wedge resection and marginal arc resection to 23 cases of labia minora hypertrophy.Results:There were no complications such as infection and hematoma, and the incision healed in one stage. The follow-up period was from 1 month to 6 months. The width of the labia minora did not exceed 1.5 cm, and the appearance was natural, beautiful and rejuvenated. The patients were satisfied.Conclusions:Layered wedge resection combined with edge arc resection of the labia minora has the advantages of natural youthful appearance, low secondary surgical repair rate, fewer postoperative complications, and high patient satisfaction. It is agood approach for the labia majora, especially the moderate to severe type. Patients with obvious pigmentation and bilateral asymmetry are an ideal candidates for this method.
