What are the possible treatments for painful labiaplasty scars?

Hello Adalheida,
A photo would have been helpful.
The answer to your question depends on the timeframe following your surgery. I'll assume you are several months or years post labiaplasty and thus pain or discomfort from the actual surgery is gone.
Painful scars following any procedure is usually due to tissue being placed under too much tension. Time usually helps to self-resolve this, but if it doesn't and the anatomy needs to be aligned correctly this may require a surgical revision. Prior to moving in that direction I have found great success in injecting PRP into the painful tissues. It is certainly worth trying since it won't make things worse.

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. I need to see photos to give you the options for eliminating your pain. It is possible that PRP or stem cell treatments may improve the pain. However, the reconstruction technique depends on the deformity and the location of the painful scars. The reconstruction is 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, and about 40% of my female genital surgeries are reconstructions of botched labiaplasties. You may need various reconstructive techniques to give you a good appearance and to eliminate your pain. The painful areas probably need to be excised and replaced with normal healthy tissue. You only get one good chance to reconstruct you, so ask a lot of questions.
