I already got a labia plasty and clitoral hood reduction and am still not satisfied. I feel like there is barely a difference even though lots of skin was taken off. Is this just my anatomy and something I will have to deal with. Do I need a revision? Please let me know I'm desperate. First picture is before the surgery and second is after.
Answer: Labiaplasty: completing the picture Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos. Although difficult to see the full results of your Labiaplasty from the photos that you’ve submitted, your concerns are apparent. Very commonly surgeons unfamiliar with vulvar anatomy, perform a Labiaplasty in the simplest form. That is give the patient what they asked for…smaller Labia. However, it is also the responsibility of the surgeon to take into account not only what is taken away but what is left behind.

Answer: Do I need a revision Hello there. If these are before and after pictures, it seems like you would be a good candidate for a revision with additional skin removal and retraction. Since you have already had one surgical labiaplasty, I would recommend an an aviva scarless labiaplasty in the office to decrease the chances of developing scarring or distortion after having two surgical procedures. The aviva scarless labiaplasty uses directly inserted radiofrequency energy to further cause skin retraction, muscle contraction, thus shrinking the labia further. This can also be done to the clitoral hood and mons pubis,

Answer: Revision labiaplasty Thank you for the question. Although an in-person examination is necessary, it appears that you would benefit from revision in order to further reduce the labia minora. I hope this helps. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.

Answer: What surgery should I get Thank you for your question Your photos show inadequate reduction of both prepuce, hood and and lower pair of labia. You are correct in your evaluation. You need to do your homework and find a surgeon who knows the anatomy and can do it right.

Answer: Revision labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction 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. The reconstruction technique depends on the deformity. 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. You may need various reconstructive techniques to give you a good appearance, but this won't be known until all the swelling is gone.
