I had a labiaplasty 6 days ago but my bruising seems to have only appeared from day 4. Is this normal?

I appreciate your question.



I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.



The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



Best of luck!

This is common and usually of no concern.  However, I would just make sure your surgeon is aware as they may want to examine to be on the safe side.

You should heal just fine.

You have bruising with minimal swelling. This suggests that you do not have a hematoma. You should heal just fine and your bruises should resolve in a few weeks.
