Background: Labia minora hypertrophy can lead to aesthetic dissatisfaction and functional discomfort among women, affecting their quality of life and sexual self-esteem. Traditional surgical labiaplasty techniques are effective but are associated with higher complication rates and longer recovery times. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction of laser labiaplasty as a minimally invasive alternative for labia minora reduction. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 60 female patients who underwent laser labiaplasty. Preoperative assessments included medical history, gynecological examination, and patient-reported concerns. The procedure utilized a CO₂ laser for tissue excision without the need for sutures. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated through follow-up visits and telephone interviews, focusing on complications, recovery time, and patient satisfaction measured by the Subjective Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (sGAIS). Results: The primary motivations for surgery were aesthetic concerns (85%) and functional discomfort (55%). The mean age was 34.7 years. Minor complications included transient postoperative bleeding (10%) and mild discomfort (25%), with no major complications reported. High satisfaction rates were observed, with 92% of patients reporting significant improvement (sGAIS scores of 4 or 5). Conclusions: Laser labiaplasty is an effective, minimally invasive procedure with high patient satisfaction and low complication rates. It offers a viable alternative to traditional surgical methods for women seeking labia minora reduction due to aesthetic or functional concerns.
