Would I be a good candidate for a Labiaplasty? (Photo)

Hello,

Thank you for the question and the photos.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience and poor wound healing.

You appear to be a good candidate for a Labiaplasty procedure to help repair the split/torn inner labia on the right side. The two sides of inner labia may never look the same because it's been a few years since childbirth and injury, but typically we can attempt repairing split/torn inner labia if there is sufficient tissues left.

I would recommend an in-person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons who specializes in Labiaplasty procedures to discuss further your questions and concerns, and for the best cosmetic results.

I hope this helps.

Your photos are very helpful. This labial tear can, and should, be repaired when you feel ready to do so. Dr. B.

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
