Many women today seek cosmetic surgery due to complaints caused by sagging of the labia minora (inner labia).

Why do labia minora become deformed?
The labia minora, also known as the inner lips, are the parts of the female genitalia that are divided into right and left sides. In some cases, these labia minora can become asymmetrical, resulting in a difference in size. Generally, changes in labial appearance, such as sagging and a longer, more curved appearance, develop due to increased hormones during puberty.
