Abstract: Background: Despite controversy surrounding labiaplasty in adolescent girls, labiaplasty might be indicated in the case of recurrent labial hair thread tourniquet syndrome (HTTS).<br />Case: We describe a case of an 11-year-old girl with recurrent labial HTTS who underwent labiaplasty.<br />Summary and Conclusion: Recurrent labial HTTS can lead to disfigurement and partial loss of labium. Labiaplasty can restore normal anatomy of the labia and prevent further recurrence in select cases.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
