Good news! – a recent study confirms that labiaplasty preserves sensation and the women who have the procedure have a better sex life afterwards. Many patients fear the loss of sensitivity after a labiaplasty is performed. With that, much controversy over the topic has risen. In this study an evaluation of sensitivity was conducted on 500 Labiaplasty patients- this includes sensitivity to touch; as well as an assessment of sexual function. The clinical findings from this study have confirmed that the procedure does NOT diminish sensitivity. That being so, a patient can maintain a healthy sex life after a labiaplasty.
