Can the nerve damage caused by labiaplasty ever heal? What medicines and natural products can be used to treat the symptoms? Are there any other treatments, such as device treatments?
Answer: Nerve damage Thank you for reaching out. When done appropriately, risk for permanent nerve damage or changes in sensation should be minimal. Because of the nature of the area it is not uncommon for there to be changes in sensations in the first few months after the procedure but these should resolve with time. Sensation changes that can occur can present as decreased sensation or the opposite, increased sensitivity.

Answer: Revision Labiaplasty The most common problem with a labiaplasty amputation is a neuroma at the top of the labia near the clitoral hood. This is easily treated with an excision and a revision. In terms of post labiaplasty pain, cutting too much of the labia in the midline can result in scarring and pain. If the sutures are aggressively placed and done in a baseball fashion, there will be notching along the scar, as well as pain.

Answer: Nerve damage from labiaplasty Painful areas after labiaplasties are usually due to scars and not nerve damage. If the scars are removed and replaced by normal healthy tissue, the pain usually improves markedly or goes away. The reconstruction is much 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 ten years ago. Approximately 40% of the surgeries I perform are revisions of other surgeons’ labiaplasties. You may need various reconstructive techniques to give you a good appearance and to eliminate your pain. I may be able to rearrange your tissue or use the skin of the sides of your clitoral hood to create labia minora and/or fill the painful areas. You only get one good chance to reconstruct you, so be patient and ask a lot of questions.
