Labiaplasty minora in Cincinnati is a relatively simple procedure which can improve both the appearance and function of the female labia. It is a procedure which offers a comforting solution to unsightly or uncomfortably enlarged or elongated labia minora.
What is a Labiaplasty Minora Procedure?
Labia minora refer to the smaller, inner vaginal lips. Labiaplasty minora is an elective cosmetic procedure for the removal of excess, often uneven labia minora tissue that causes chronic irritation, rubbing, or discomfort during sexual intercourse. Most women choose labiaplasty minora in Cincinnati to improve the aesthetic appearance of the vulva.
What Can You Expect From a Labiaplasty Minora Surgery?
How Does a Labiaplasty Minora Work?
Dr. Brenner has refined her technique to safely reduce the size of the labia minora by excising a crescent shaped portion of the inner portion of the labia minora. The scar is hidden in the crease between the inner and outer labia. Labiaplasty minora in Cincinnati is done in the office under local anesthesia.
Procedure Process
Dr. Brenner is able to offer a straight edge technique (linear excision) with the Ellman Surgitron. The Surgitron is a unique instrument in that it has a cool tip, so thermal damage to the underlying tissue is able to be minimized or eliminated. The Surgitron is unparalleled in its finesse and no-touch technique. The Ellman Surgitron provides superior precision and cutting (compared to a scalpel), less thermal injury than a laser, thereby promoting faster and less painful healing.
Results
All sutures used in Labiaplasty are self-dissolvable and disappear within 6 weeks. This scar is often not seen at all. Individual or interrupted sutures are used. Many other surgeons use a running technique to save time, this leads to a scalloped appearance to the incision line. Dr. Brenner’s technique does not involve a “wedge resection” which has a 10 to 20% chance of wound breakdown.

3 Labiaplasty Minora Procedure Options:
Rim Labiaplasty
The RIM look is the most common appearance patients obtain with labial surgery worldwide. The goal with the RIM is to gain symmetry and remove large labia. It is the most conservative in that just the excess bulging or “dark rim” is removed. Precise labial reduction leaves a smaller rim of Labia Minora above the level of the Labia Major (larger lips) to reduce its prominence, give the patient a more natural look, and increase patient comfort. It is the most conservative of Dr. Brenner’s Labiaplasty techniques and the most popular choice for very young women.
Barbie Labiaplasty
The Barbie look is the most aggressive reduction of the Labia Minora to the point of complete excision of the Labia Minora. It leaves a refined look and eliminates the pulling and tugging sensations women often encounter. A Clitoral Hood Reduction is almost always recommended when the Barbie Labiaplasty is performed.
Hybrid Labiaplasty
The Hybrid look combines the RIM and Barbie to leave a very fine, petite, natural looking hint of a rim around the vaginal opening. Less labia than a RIM look and more than a Barbie look. Approximately 1 cm of Labia Minora remains below the Labia Majora. A Clitoral Hood Reduction is often recommended when the Hybrid Labiaplasty is performed.
Why Does Our Labia Enlarge?
One in three women have longer than average labia. Many women are born with enlarged labia or experience changes in the appearance of their labia as they age. The greatest factor in elongated labia is genetics, as well as aging, pregnancy, childbirth, and gravity.

Labiaplasty Minora FAQs:
What is Labiaplasty Minora?
Labiaplasty minora is a cosmetic gynecology procedure that improves the appearance and comfort of the labia minora, the smaller inner lips of the vagina. Dr. Brenner performs a full array of labiaplasty minora techniques, including RIM, Barbie, and Hybrid approaches, to address each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Am I a Good Candidate for Labiaplasty Minora?
If you are over 18 and feel self-conscious about the size, shape, asymmetry, or appearance of your labia minora, you may be a good candidate for labiaplasty minora in Cincinnati. Enlarged labia minora may also be interfering with your daily life or sexual intimacy — causing discomfort during exercise, irritation in tight-fitting clothing, or embarrassment during intimate moments. If you dislike the dark pigmented edges of the labia minora, labiaplasty minora can address that as well.
Why Do Women Get Labiaplasty Minora in Cincinnati?
There are many reasons why labiaplasty minora has become one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the world. Excess labia minora tissue can cause discomfort or irritation during activities like cycling, exercise, or wearing yoga pants, tight jeans, or bathing suits. Protruding labia minora can also cause discomfort and self-consciousness during sexual intimacy. Many women also choose labiaplasty minora simply because they desire a different aesthetic appearance and want to feel more confident in their bodies.
What Happens During My Labiaplasty Minora Consultation With Dr. Brenner?
During your consultation, Dr. Brenner will review your complete medical history and perform a physical exam. She will discuss your desired changes and aesthetic goals and work with you to determine if surgical labiaplasty minora is right for you. She will also discuss whether nonsurgical AVIVA FemTite may be an option and review the pros and cons of each approach. Dr. Brenner will walk you through before and after photos to help you determine your ideal outcome, and your patient coordinator will review costs and financing options for labiaplasty minora in Cincinnati.
What Are the Different Labiaplasty Minora Techniques?
Dr. Brenner offers three labiaplasty minora techniques — RIM, Barbie, and Hybrid — as well as nonsurgical AVIVA FemTite for appropriate candidates. For surgical labiaplasty minora, Dr. Brenner uses a straight-edge linear excision technique, which removes tissue along the outer edge of the labia minora. This approach carries a lower risk of wound breakdown than the wedge technique and also allows for the simultaneous removal of darkened tissue commonly found along the rim of enlarged labia minora.
What Are the Advantages of Surgical Labiaplasty Minora?
Labiaplasty minora can be performed in our Cincinnati office using local and oral anesthesia, making it a relatively short procedure with significant, long-lasting results. Women who undergo labiaplasty minora in Cincinnati often report increased confidence in their intimate appearance and relief from the physical discomfort associated with elongated labia minora.
What Are the Risks of Labiaplasty Minora?
As with any surgical procedure, there are remote risks associated with labiaplasty minora. Complications are rare and can be further reduced by selecting an experienced cosmetic gynecologist and carefully following post-operative instructions. Because labiaplasty minora is performed in our office under local and oral anesthesia, risks typically associated with general anesthesia and hospital stays are eliminated. Dr. Brenner will discuss all potential risks with you in detail during your consultation, including prolonged healing, bleeding, infection, changes in sensitivity, incision separation, and cosmetic results not meeting expectations.
Therefore, choose your cosmetic gynecologist carefully!!
