Swollen vagina. Is it possible it is turning into scar tissue?

Hi Hazanidoll421,Thanks for your question. Your situation is more common than you think. It is due to gravity. The firmness is the induration that occurs after liposuction. It also depends on were you are in terms of your healing. IF it has been longer than 6 weeks after surgery, it may turn into scar or it may just be that area was not liposuctioned enough.  But more than likely it is just swelling. Hope this helps. Remember ask your plastic surgeon at your next visit!All the best,Carlos Mata MD, MBA, FACS

Hello and thank you for your question.  You should call your surgeon and let them know of your concerns.Sincerely,Dr. Sean Kelishadi

After liposuction, you can sometimes experience swelling in the labia majora.  Make sure your garment is fitting properly and not constricting your labia.  This should resolve in a few days.

It's common for the mons pubis and labia majoras to swell up after lower abdominal liposuction.This area is prone to having excessive swelling because of the effects of gravity.It does not generally turn into scar tissue and goes down with time.The majority of swelling should be gone by a few weeks though it can take several months for all of the swelling to go down.I suggest this is something you may want to bring up with your plastic surgeon during your next visit.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
