Susceptible to scarring: what is the best type of incisions for labiaplasties?

Hello, scar formation depends entirely on genetic predisposition. and the type of incision to be made has nothing to do with it. However, from my own experience, I see that wound healing is better in surgical transfer labia plasty results.

The beauty of Labiaplasty surgery is that there is almost no visible scarring. That means that no one will know if you had a labiaplasty performed. I perform the edge technique with a hood reduction. This leaves a very smooth edge where the pigment of the darker and rough labia is removed and replaced with smooth lighter colored tissue. Scarring is quite invisible. Please visit my photo gallery for examples. With the wedge labiaplasty, on the other hand, sometimes there is a notch or a step off or even a color transition and so I never perform the wedge labiaplasty.

Best to find a doctor with great before and after photos and videos of healed results that you like, and this will ensure that you have a virtually scarless labiaplasty. The worst scarring happens when doctors use a baseball stitch or a running over and over stitch to close the labia. This technique leaves multiple firm areas notching grooving and a painful scar. You can find many examples of this, sadly, here on Realself from patient uploads.

Hello, thank you for your question. There is a certain genetic predisposition to how we heal wounds and surgical incisions. Amongst those genetic predisposition, it is true about how asians scar and that they are most susceptible to hypertrophic scars. However with labiaplasty in asian women, the scars have great outcomes. This is base on the location, under low tension and kept moist. Of course it is best to speak to your plastic surgeon to see what their experience has been like with previously asian patients that have undergone a labiaplasty.
