Labiaplasty wound dehiscence and now swelling. 3 weeks post-op.

Asked By:13531

I had a modified wedge labiaplasty 3 weeks ago and about 2 weeks in developed a small wound dehiscence inside the labia minora along one of the suture lines. This seemed to be filling in slowly however that side is now significantly swollen. It's not bleeding and there is no discharge. Could there be an infection or perhaps blood pooling inside? I'm worried the incision will come apart due to the swelling. Is there something I can be doing to reduce the swelling?
