Too much skin was removed during my wife's tummy tuck. What can we do? Labia majora now look terrible and unattractive! (Photo)

Question

labia majora got very pulled up and now are skinny, flabby, saggy and sorry. no more delicious "V", there is a weird flabby looking double "U" instead which looks all wrong and totally unnatural. i now have trouble achieving and maintaining an erection. cannot get off anymore without great difficulty. i love fat, juicy, meaty BIG succulent labia majora, and hers were (pre-surgery) literally the most perfect i had ever seen. what can be done? skin grafts? please tell me we can fix it somehow!

I appreciate your question.Most of the time this will settle down over timeIf not, I usually fat graft the labia for rejuvenation The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Hello rain I,Thanks for your question.It is normal for there to be some pulling vertically on the mons after surgery.  This will soften and settle with time.  Labia can be augmented with fat grafts if necessary to add volume back.  If necessary, the tummy tuck can be revised to position the mons back a little lower.  However, you and your wife both need to be willing to accept the risk of additional surgery on her health to try and chase this.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Its normal after a Tummy tuck that the vagina area get pulled a little. Its going to be better on a couple of months. She can benefit from fat grafting to the labias, for looking like fat.
