The labia minora is located on the inside of the labia majora, extending from the clitoris to the frenulum. It is composed of connective tissue rich in blood vessels, so it looks pink on the outside and is covered with stratified squamous epithelial tissue. The front part of the labia minora is divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. The outer parts on both sides combine to form the foreskin of the clitoris, while the outer parts form the frenulum of the clitoris.

The labia minora can be said to be the gatekeeper of the private parts.

What to do if your labia is thick

2. Skin flap method

For cases with thick base and large labia minora, mucosal flap method can also be used for repair in order to achieve the ideal effect. The specific method adopts different designs according to the different shapes of the labia minora to remove excess tissue so that the wound after suture is more hidden and has a good shape. The advantages of the flap method are less trauma and natural morphology after surgery.
