I am unhappy with my labiaplasty due to the bumpy edges caused by the stitches from the trim method. I went for a revision consultation with the surgeon that did my original trim method labiaplasty and he suggested he would revise the bumpy edges by trimming them without stitches. Is trimming without stitches a normal and recommended procedure? Would you personally recommend this? I have lost confidence in my surgeon due to my original results, so I'd appreciate a second opinion here! Thanks

Answer: Labiaplasty reconstruction 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 eleven years ago. You need various reconstructive techniques to give you a good appearance. The bumpy edges on your labia can be improved by several techniques. Some doctors would trim the scallops and bumps, but I do not feel that is the best method. You can also have a combination of wedge excisions to remove most of the bumps with a little bit of a trim of the bumps. Another way is to take the excess skin from the sides of your clitoral hood and transfer it to lay on top of your labia minora, which would eliminate all the bumps. Fortunately, you have adequate clitoral hood to reconstruct your labia minora with these clitoral hood flaps, which I invented and published in that journal article. In this surgery, I take the remaining tissue of your clitoral hood and transfer it downward to create labia minora. I have done this surgery about 60 times with excellent results. The surgery takes about 3+ hours so it is not a simple office procedure. If any surgeon reduces more of your clitoral hood, you will be ineligible for this repair. You only get one good chance to reconstruct you, so be patient and ask a lot of questions.

Answer: Trim bumpy edges Thank you for your questionSmall bumpy edges can usually be trimmed or smoothed without stitches. The little bumps on your left photo are often treated that way
