I got the first procedure (trim method) 2 years ago and then got a radiofrequency revision done by the same surgeon about half a year ago. I am a young woman - only 21. I have never had sex because of how insecure I was about my vagina, so I got this surgery. Here I am today and I am a wreck. I miss my old vagina every single day. This looks like pig intensities from a science experiment. What can I do from here? My labia is mostly gone (as seen in one of the pics). So there isn't more to cut.

Answer: Revision Labiaplasty Sorry to hear about your experience. Indeed, you have had too much of your labia removed and the edges are bumpy and uneven. You can't get them back, but what is remaining can be revised to look smoother and more youthful. Go to the link below to see hundreds of B/A photos of labiaplasty and hood reduction procedures. From that link you may schedule a virtual consult via phone or zoom, at which time we can discuss in-depth your anatomy, expectations, and concerns. Women from all over the world travel to my Center for their Revision Labiaplasty under local anesthesia. Best of luck,

Answer: Labiaplasty revision 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 had a trimming labiaplasty which resulted in asymmetry and scalloping. The reconstruction is much 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. You can have a much better appearance by a very skilled reconstructive labiaplasty surgery. Approximately 40% of the surgeries I perform are revisions of other surgeons' labiaplasties. I may use multiple wedge excisions to reduce your labia, eliminate many of your scallops, and improve symmetry. However, I need to see photos of your entire clitoral hood area to see if you have adequate clitoral hood to reconstruct your labia minora with clitoral hood flaps, which I invented and published in that publication. I have done this surgery about 80 times with excellent results. The surgery takes about 3+ hours so it is not a simple office procedure. If any surgeon reduces more of your clitoral hood, you will be ineligible for this repair. I often use a combination of techniques to reconstruct the labia. You only get one good chance to reconstruct you, so be patient and ask a lot of questions. Gary J. Alter, M.D. Beverly Hills, CA - Manhattan, NY

Answer: Labia is mostly gone - what can I do from here? (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that your current results have not been what you anticipated. I would recommend seeking out labiaplasty specialists to obtain an in-person examination of your tissues to assess their current state of healing and elasticity and to exactly see what tissues remain hypertrophied (lateral prepuce and clitoral frenulum for example) and which are limited (labia minora) for the possibility of revision. Additionally I would write down a rank list of your priorities of improvement so that a thorough discussion of improvement possibilities can be discussed.

Answer: Patience Dear lip Sorry for your bad experience. I am not your surgeon. My advice to you at around 6 months post op is to wait and do nothing now. Give it a couple more months to settle down. I have seen worse complications. There is hope for you that this will turn out ok in the end.
