INTRODUCTION
This group of intimate surgeries includes a number of operations designed to decrease the size and degree of protuberance of the labia minora, or 'inner lips' of the vagina. The most common reason for women to request this operation is because the labia are perceived to be too large and aesthetically unpleasing. A number of women also find that the large size of their labia make them noticeable in tight clothing, or make certain sports and clothing uncomfortable.
