Hi everyone, I had a labiaplasty approx a year ago and ever since the procedure I've had trouble urinating in a direct stream. I did not have this issue prior to the labiaplasty and now it's virtually impossible to urinate without getting urine on my thigh due to the mix of direction it goes. I've tried sitting forward and back and it doesn't help. I've spoken to my surgeon and he said it must be swelling as he didn't touch anything internal only externally. What's going on?

Answer: Deflected stream trajectory following labiaplasty
While performing labiaplasty surgeries, the clitorol hood and the labia should be in balance. It doesn't make much sense to only do hoodoplasty. It would be more accurate to do labiaplasty and hoodoplasty together.
Hello, what technique was labiaplasty surgery performed with, edge resection? wedge resection ? etc. If you can send post-operative photos, I can be more helpful.
