Female Sexual Function Before and After Labiaplasty.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLabiaplasty, a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the size of the labia minora, represents the most frequently performed female genital cosmetic surgery. This study aimed to systematically investigate the factors motivating women to undergo labiaplasty and to assess the surgery's impact on body image, genital self-image, sexual satisfaction, and body confidence, both pre- and postoperatively.
methodsThis prospective study included 88 patients who underwent labiaplasty, all performed by the same surgical team. Postoperative follow-up assessments were carried out during the first week, first month, and third month. All patients were allowed to practice sexual intercourse one month after the surgery. Any complications or cases requiring revision surgery were documented. All patients completed the 19-item Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the 7-item Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS) questionnaires before the surgery and at the third month postoperatively.
resultsWhen comparing the preoperative and postoperative total scores of the Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS), the postoperative score indicated a statistically significant improvement. The total score of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) increased from 15.8 ± 2.6 preoperatively to 28.2 ± 2.7 postoperatively, also showing statistical significance (p < 0.001).
conclusionsIn our study, both total FSFI and total FGSIS scores were significantly higher post-surgery. This improvement can be attributed to the psychological recovery and confidence gained by the patients, leading to greater sexual and social fulfillment.
