I am afraid I will keloid after my labiaplasty surgery. How can I avoid it?

Hello, I am very interested in getting labiaplasty. However, with that said I have had a breast augmentation and a bunionectomy which has resulted in keloids from the sutures. I’m under the impression that the labia tissue is different from the actual skin, therefore do you think I would still keloid on my vagina? Also, which method (trim vs wedge) is preferred for people who scar?
