Labiaplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionI Had Labiaplasty Wedge Method, However, the Parts Still Keep Coming Apart?

Labiaplasty wound opening
HI,
It sounds like you did not have any deep sutures to hold the tissue together (I can't be certain since I was not there), but at this point you may have to let everything heal on its own and then get it revised at a later date.

Three months after...
