Appearance
Myth: there is a medically ideal labial size. Fact: normal anatomy has a broad range, and measurements alone do not determine suitability.
Scars and symmetry
Myth: surgery is scarless and perfectly symmetrical. Fact: scars are expected and some asymmetry may remain even with careful surgery.
Recovery
Myth: returning to work means healing is complete. Fact: early function can return while deeper healing and scar maturation continue.
Long-term results
Myth: results can never change. Fact: ageing, hormones, pregnancy, childbirth and tissue quality may influence appearance over time.
Frequently asked questions
Are online before-and-after images reliable?
They are useful only with consistent photography, timing and context, and they cannot predict your outcome.
Is a larger reduction better?
Not necessarily. Over-resection can create functional and aesthetic problems, so conservative planning matters.
Can a consultation be fully online?
Remote discussion can begin planning; physical examination is needed before final treatment decisions.
