How common are keloids and hypertrophic scarring during Labiaplasty post-op recovery?

Keloids and hypertrophic scarring in a labiaplasty procedure is rare. (Even when I take diagnostic biopsies from my gynecology patients.) I have never seen a keloid formation in the labia minor after a labiaplasty in my surgical practice.

Hello -
I am asked this question often, specially from patients who have a history of keloids post surgery or trauma. The risk is minimal to zero with properly performed lapiaplasty since there isn't any tension on the incision lines. I haven't seen any keloid formation even in patients with a strong history of keloids.
Best of luck,
