Many women are born with excess labia minora (inner labia) tissue, or develop excess tissue after childbirth. While this is not an issue for all, for many, it can lead not only to feelings of self-consciousness, but also to significant functional problems and discomfort.
Many complain of limitations in the activities they are able to do, such as exercising or fitting in clothing they feel comfortable wearing.
Dr. Edwin Kwon expertly approaches this delicate area with a “wedge-technique” rather than the traditional trim technique. The wedge-technique preserves the deeper tissue and sensation, while protecting against painful complications such as over-resection and scalloping.
