“…Hong et al [13] reported the use of both the central wedge resection and asymmetric Z-plasty techniques in order to avoid the linear scar. De-epithelialization of the skin [14] of the central region of the medial and lateral aspects of each labia minora reduces the excess vertical tissue, while preserving natural rugosity and the sensory and erectile abilities of the labia. One disadvantage of de-epithelialization is that the width of the individual labia can increase if a large area of labial tissue is de-epithelialized.…”

“…Rousier [12] and Munhoz [13] modified the central wedge technique, but these methods have the drawbacks of possible flap tip necrosis and leaving the bulky superior tissue as the labial edge [14]. Cao et al have modified the de-epithelialization method with an invisible scar and little distortion of the labia minora anatomy, but it is only indicated for patients with thinner labia for possible thickness of the labia base [15]. Until now, there has been no one-size-fitsall procedure for labia minora reduction.…”

“…Most popular have been the wedge resection and linear excision labiaplasty. An inner resection deepithelialization reduction labiaplasty has also been performed [13].…”
