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.

Thank you for your question and photos. It is common to have bruising after this surgery. Ice packs and NSAIDs will help with the healing process and to treat discomfort from the bruising. 

Congrats on the surgery  the results look good.... but then again it is only your opinion that matters at this point.  Your healing is normal.  Relax and enjoy the new you.
