Objectives: To evaluate the indications of labiaplasty with 30W 980nm diode laser, performed in-office, in the 2016-2017 period and also the results, scale of postoperative pain, sexual satisfaction and complications.
Introduction: Labiaplasty is a common genital aesthetic surgery, its objective is to correct labia
minora hypertrophy and/or the clitoridean foreskin.
Materials / method: A retrospective, descriptive, analytical study was carried out of clinic, with a sample of 23 patients in the 2016 -2017 period. We used a Trim technique with a 30W 980nm diode laser in continuous mode. The patients were classified by reason for consultation, degree of hypertrophy (Gonzalez classification), pain and sexual satisfaction scales, as well as associated complications.
Results: The age range was 18-50 years with an average of 29-39 years. The reason for
consultation was primarily discomfort, followed by dyspareunia. 65.2% presented generalized hypertrophy, followed by central asymmetry in 34.7%. Only 8.6% reported pain II to III on the analog scale. There were no intraoperative complications; postoperative complications were absent in 82.6%, 8.6% presented suture dehiscence, 4.3% pruritus and 4.3% Granuloma. The postoperative sexual satisfaction index was 10/10pts in 100% of the patients.
Conclusion: The reduction labiaplasty is a frequent procedure, performed with an instrument of minimal damage to tissues such as diode laser. It was found to have few side effects with excellent aesthetic and functional results.
