No gap between new labia and tight… is this fixable? (Photo)

Question

I had a tumor removed year ago and I was a candidate for a reconstructive surgery for my labia majora and the skin around. I had a skin graft (tight flap) moved to create a new labia. But I don’t feel like it worked out… I just feel its worse than before…. I don’t know if it’s the sweeling but I feel like it’s few centimeters too close to my tights…. Is this fixable?! Thank you for your help!!

Hello, I apologize that I am not able to answer your question because I do not have the privilege to examine you or your surgical records. This is something that I have no expertise with repairing.

Hello, I am sorry that you had a difficult operation, but I think it was a good operation. A large tumor was removed. It is very difficult to comment further without examining and seeing it.

Hello Friend in Ottawa,

While your reconstruction is beyond my training and experience, I will refer you to the person that I feel is most skilled and experienced to help you, if a "fix" is possible. This is Dr. Dan mon O'Dey, MD, PhD, Director of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany. Dr. Stefan Gress, in Munich, Germany, is also an excellent choice. In the U.S., you might also try Dr. Marco Pelosi III in New Jersey. I think the Germany docs may be more experienced, but Dr. Pelosi will be honest with you if he feels he's not qualified...)
