I read somewhere that continous suture make the shape zig zaggy. How can I have flat edges? I'm guessing this is about suture method.
Answer: Labiaplasty Hello there, I personally use a buried, running, faster-dissolving suture for the top layer to give the leading edge a smoother appearance. I typically do not place sutures above the skin, as I feel that patients frequently swell around these, putting patients more at risk of a bumpy or 'scalloped' edge. Hope that helps! Sincerely,Jennifer Adams MD, FRCSC

Answer: Labiaplasties: Which Stitching Method Provides a Flat Look? Thank you for your question about the stitching method for labiaplasty that yields a flat look. The flat appearance may be more due to your individual tissue characteristics. Deep sutures can create projections and can be used to correct the flat look. If you're unsatisfied, a fat transfer to the labia could also help. I hope this information helps and best of luck with your decision. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Stitching method for labiaplasty Thank you for your questionThere are various methods of labiaplasty and optimal suture methods vary. I never use continuous sutures for labiaplasty and therefore don't get zig zag appearance. In the natural edge method, suture lines are generally hidden and using simple intermittent sutures leaves smooth flat hidden edges.For more info on labiaplasty techniques see the video below
