I had the trimming method 12 days ago, I have a defined line down both sides of my labia. In some places it scabs a little, but not in other places. I have a lot of stitches in my labia, just not over the top where the incision is. Is this normal& will it all heal/close completely over time or should I ask my doctor to add more stitches over the top because I think it's not fusing together properly? I just don't want to heal with a line down both my labia. Any info would be appreciated!

Answer: Normal healing at 2 weeks post labiaplasty Thank you for your great question and congratulations on you very nice Labiaplasty. You have stitches along the sides of your labia so that the inner and outer edges of each labia will heal naturally. What you notice as an area that is "not fusing together properly" is normal healing, you do not need additional sutures here and it's too late to add any sutures this far from surgery.In my practice I remove these same sutures between postop day 5 and 7. The result is a natural result with no scarring and a very comfortable recovery since as soon as the sutures are removed your current discomfort from the sutures goes away immediately. This hasn't resulted in any incision separation. The sutures are causing an inflammatory reaction and are the source of your swelling. At six weeks there will be minimal swelling.Best of luck,

Answer: You are healing perfectly and nothing needs to be done You have a mild degree of swelling and the scars look fine. Extra sutures cannot be put in without disrupting the healing process and will achieve nothing at the present time. When the healing completes and the swelling disappears you should be pleased with the result.
