During childbirth 4 years ago I had a tear in my labia minora which left it completely detached. I inquired during a follow up postpartum doctor's visit about having it repaired, where my doctor attempted to restitch it with no numbing. When that repair failed, they simply offered to cut it off. Discouraged, it's taken me years to look into options once again to see if it may be able to be repaired. I am having difficulty finding any reviews or cases with a tear similar to mine.
Answer: Labiaplasty after tear of minora during delivery I believe this can be repaired, of course an exam to assess the surrounding labia tissue would have to be done to confirm this. However, you are not alone. I have seen this several times and the repair does not involve amputation. I think that is a bad idea. I also would never do this repair without numbing as it is better to have you comfortable and relaxed as the repair takes some time to perform correctly. I recommend you see a board certified doctor that specializes in vaginal aesthetic or reconstructive surgery. Don't wait any longer, there are good options available for this.

Answer: Would I be a good candidate for a labiaplasty? HI aeowens1, I am sorry for your tear in the area and also sorry that someone tried to repair it without numbing the site before attempting surgery. It is a difficult area to repair due to the daily irritation of the area with urination , wearing pants , exercising, etc. With that said , however, it does have a chance to be repaired successfully. I would suggest that you visit with a plastic surgeon or urogynecologist in your area who does a lot of these procedures for an in person exam and a frank discussion of the risks and potential complications. In no circumstances, should this procedure be done without some sort of anesthesia. Good Luck, dear. Best, Dr. Christine Rodgers

Answer: Labiaplasty to repair torn labia. I recommend you consult a Plastic Surgeon , board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who perform labiaplasty, which is typically done to reduce its size. Your situation is a little different. The two sides of the labia that were torn need to be anesthetized and the edges trimmed so that the two sides can be brought together with sutures. Any PS that does labiaplasty surgery will know what to offer you. I hope this helped

Answer: ? candidate for labiaplasty Thank you for your question.It is difficult to see with your photo but typically with these tears it would be best served by doing a repair of the tear. By trimming the torn section and the base it was torn from to the point that they bleed, They can then be reattached giving a normal appearance.You need to find a surgeon who is well experienced in labia repair. Do your homework
