Some patients who are concerned about labial hypertrophy report horizontal folds along the outer edges of the labia, which can cause additional discomfort when the tissue folds inward.

In these cases, patients often describe discomfort when sitting for long periods,

or when the folded area is pressed during daily activities.

This is sometimes described as a pressure-like pain or a sensation similar to reduced blood flow.

• After surgery, once the labial edges are corrected to a normal range,

  even if slight horizontal folds remain, the tissue no longer folds inward and naturally lies flat.

• Differences in the size and tip shape of the labial edges are also carefully corrected.

  However, the goal is not to make both sides exactly identical.

  Matching the shorter side too aggressively can place excessive tension on the longer side,

  so achieving subtle balance and symmetry is essential.

• Following surgery, the labial contours become naturally refined.

  As the tissue is no longer compressed, patients can maintain a comfortable shape and sensation during daily activities.

• This case involved a woman in her 20s who was scheduled to travel abroad one week after surgery and was concerned about recovery time.

  Fortunately, she recovered well within about one week after the procedure and shared:

  “I can sit comfortably now without pain, and I feel so much better.

  I’m really glad I decided to have the surgery before my trip.”

  Her bright smile after recovery left a lasting impression on us.
