What causes skin separation after a labiaplasty using the trim method?

Thank you for sharing your question. Many factors go into the healing process including suture technique, suture redundancy, patient compliance during recovery, etc. In most cases of a trim, any separation that may develop is likely small and can heal well on its own.

Wound dehiscence can be caused by too much tension, not enough wound factors to heal (ie low protein or hemoglobin), friction, too much activity after surgery, etc. Please visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon for your surgery. Good luck!
