There are two techniques used in labiaplasties: the wedge technique and the edge technique.nnThe wedge technique involves removing a V-shaped “wedge” from both sides of the labia and stitching the edges together. This technique causes the least amount of scar tissue.nnFor the edge technique, Dr. Ortiz will make an incision that removes the outer edge of the inner labia, making the inner labia even with or shorter than the outer labia. This technique creates a cylindrical scar and more scar tissue than the wedge technique.
