Labiaplasty stitches got open & I'm worried surgeon cut too much to redo? (Photos)

Thank you for your questionUnfortunately, Looking at your results you have good reason to fear going back to this surgeon. This is more than sutures opening: it is poor technique. You need to research well and find a surgeon skilled in repairing botched labiaplasty. Look for their before and after photos and reviews. Yes, This can be repaired but needs someone experienced in doing these repairs.

As the inventor and innovator of the wedge technique in 1994, I reconstruct many women who have had labia reductions by other surgeons, both wedge and trimming techniques. The reconstruction technique depends on the deformity. You have severe deformities from over removal of labia and clitoral hood. The reconstruction is more difficult than a primary labiaplasty and should be done by a plastic surgeon with extensive experience in labia reconstruction. I published the first and most extensive paper on labia reconstruction in the prestigious journal "Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery" about ten years ago. You will need various reconstructive techniques to give you a good appearance. Your remaining tissues can be moved and re-positioned to improve your appearance. However, it is difficult to know what can be done in your case without better photos or an examination. You need all the tissue you have. If any surgeon reduces more of your clitoral hood or labia, you will be ineligible for this repair. You only get one good chance to reconstruct you, so be patient and ask a lot of questions.
