Hi there! I am a 32 year old looking for a labiaplasty and hood reduction. Long story short I had an abusive childhood, and was finally seen by a OBGYN at age 15. I was supposed to have labia removed that was significantly torn at the same time I had some cervix removed. I ended up with holes, thick scar tissue, balls of tissue that was attached out of place, and unevenness. I got divorced over 2 years ago and can’t not date because of this. I use piercing cleaners to clean the holes or it hurts

Answer: Labia reconstruction 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. You have a severe deformity. 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, and about 40% of my female genital surgeries are reconstructions of botched labiaplasties. You will need various reconstructive techniques to give you a good appearance. I need better photos which include your entire clitoral hood and the bottom of your vagina in order to determine the best way to reconstruct you. If you have enough clitoral hood, I probably would recommend clitoral hood flaps to reconstruct your labia. You only get one good chance to reconstruct you, so ask a lot of questions. Gary J.

Answer: Patience and multi stage procedure Hello Amber Smiles. I am so sorry for your child hood experiences and for your subsequent surgical management. After reviewing your photos I can tell you surgical procedures to improve the overall appearance and function of your labia can help. Given the amount of scar tissue and holes and displacement of tissue it should be a 2-3 step process involving removal of tissue, adjusting placement of tissue and laser resurfacing. Please be certain to seek out at least 3 in person consultations with highly qualified labiaplasty revision surgeons prior to making a decision on who to go with. Best wishes to you. Dr. Poucher
