Im 35, female single. 3 months back but my stitches got opened and the labia minora is all deformed and some very tiny pieces are left. My surgeon is saying he will do revision or triming. I dont trust him as its hardly anything left to trim. I did the procedure for social reasons

Answer: What are the options when your labiaplasty stitches "got opened"? Repost and share a photo. Your options for fixing your labiaplasty depend upon their appearance at the present time. Revisions should usually be done six months or more after the original surgery to get the possible results.

Answer: Failed labiaplasty Hello, I cannot comment because you did not post a picture after the procedure. In such cases, it may be useful to get an opinion from another doctor for an examination.

Answer: Failed labioplasty Dear Magical123854 Thanks for your question. I am sorry you had a complication after your labioplasty. Would dehiscence is a common complication of labioplasty but usually is not dangerous and it also does not affect the final outcome. I recommend the patients to leave it and as the wound heals the wound contracture forces will bring the open ends together and they fuse. It might take 4-5 months. So you are still in the healing timeline. On the other hand if you think too much labia has been removed, that is another issue. One needs to see you and examine you or at least see a photograph to make a judgement. For now , I would not worry too much and wait for at least 6 months before any revision.If you have lost trust in your surgeon, you should find another surgeon as it is very important to have a rusting relationship with your surgeon. Once this is broken, you may have other issues with his/her further management plan/ instructions.

Answer: Failed labiaplasty Thank you for your questionWithout photos it is impossible to know what needs to be done. I suggest you research surgeons who are accomplished at repairing labiaplasty complications. check out reviews and before and after photos Then schedule two or more consultations having them explain what are their suggestions for revision and see if it makes sense to you.

Answer: Labiaplasty revision should not be done until 5-6 months after surgery I’m sorry you’re going through this. Unfortunately it is difficult to give advise without pictures. But in general, doing a revision in 3 months as you are now, will lead to failure. Patience is your best bet at this time. Also Mother Nature if very forgiving. It is possible it will not look as bad as you think. But if it does, then 5-6 months post op would be when you would schedule such a procedure. I hope that helps.
