Thank you for sharing your experience — I can see how uncomfortable and frustrating this must be.

From the photos and your description, it appears that you may be dealing with a combination of residual scar tissue, uneven wound healing, and possibly delayed suture removal, which can all contribute to the hard lumps and irregular contour you’re noticing now. It’s also likely that excess tissue was removed, causing tension and distortion in the surrounding anatomy, including lifting of the perineal area. This tension can result in pulling or bunching, especially around the frenular area, and that may be what you’re feeling when touched.

As an experienced cosmetic gynecologist, I take a very individualized approach to labiaplasty. I don’t apply the same surgical technique to every patient — the method I use depends entirely on your baseline anatomy, tissue type, and aesthetic goals. I also do not typically perform full vaginal resections or use aggressive techniques unless absolutely necessary. Choosing the right approach for your body makes all the difference in both healing and final results.

It’s also important to know how long ago your surgery was performed. In the early months, it’s very common for the labia to feel firm or lumpy, and some unevenness can improve significantly with time alone. Scar tissue softens over several months, and residual swelling can take up to a year to fully resolve. If your procedure was recent, time may be your best ally for now.

That said, if enough time has passed and these lumps are persistent and painful, a well-planned revision could absolutely improve your outcome. Revision surgery may involve scar tissue excision, contouring, or even fat grafting in some cases to restore symmetry and comfort.

The best next step would be an in-person consultation or a virtual visit where I can ask more detailed questions, assess healing progress, and develop a plan that works for your anatomy and concerns.

Thank you for your honest and thoughtful question — I understand how frustrating and emotional this situation can be.

When too much labial tissue has been removed, rebuilding or increasing the size of the labia minora becomes quite complex. Creating new labial tissue is not easy and often does not provide natural or functional results. That said, the best approach can only be determined after an in-person evaluation — seeing the actual anatomy helps guide a personalized and realistic revision plan.

One commonly helpful option is labial puffing using fat transfer or dermal fillers. This can restore volume and soften the contour in the area, making the absence of the labia minora less noticeable and improving the overall harmony of the vulvar appearance.

In addition, it sounds like you may be experiencing cleft separation or widening — something that’s quite common and more noticeable after aggressive labiaplasty. In these cases, cleft narrowing is often a more effective and natural-looking revision technique. It brings the labia majora closer together, reduces visible separation, and restores symmetry. It is generally more cosmetically successful than clitoral hood reduction and avoids disruption of sensation.

As for clitoral hood reduction, I typically do not recommend it in your situation. While there may be excess hood tissue, removing it can affect sensation and often results in visible scarring or suboptimal cosmetic outcomes. In contrast, cleft narrowing offers a more refined and balanced improvement without those risks.

You’re absolutely right to consider traveling for this — revision labiaplasty is highly specialized, and achieving the best possible outcome depends on working with a surgeon experienced in both cosmetic and reconstructive vaginal procedures. Once your anatomy is assessed in person, we can create a plan that aligns with your goals and comfort.
