I had a labiaplasty mid-July, I noticed after all of the swelling went down I was left with this "lump" of tissue. I really dislike the appearance of it so I was wondering if there's any type of surgery that could be done to safely remove it? The plastic surgeon that originally did my labiaplasty, didn't feel comfortable with performing an additional surgery in the future to remove the excess skin. He said with all of the connective tissue it's risky.
Answer: Excision of tissue is your solution You have excess perineal skin and anal skin tags which can be excised in an office setting under local anesthesia. This could have been done at the time of your labiaplasty, but there's no problem in addressing this now. The goal is to have a smooth perineum and anal region.

Answer: Excess skin of the perineum The area of the vulva you are referring too is the posterior commissure. This excess skin can be removed by performing a small perineoplasty. Another option is ablative therapy via “feathering” were the tissues of concern are vaporized into smoke and new skin grows in its place resulting in smooth perineal skin. Best of luck! Davis CA

Answer: How to smooth out wrinkled skin at the perineum? Your labiaplasty should have included excision of this loose skin. Since it wasn't done, it can be done now. It needs to be done with precision to avoid pain issues afterwards. There is no unusual connective tissue in this area and there is nothing risky about it in experienced hands. It shouldn't require a perineoplasty, but that's an option to consider if the vaginal opening feels loose during sex.

Answer: Revision labiaplasty involving the posterior commisure I agree with Dr. Reed, my former trainee. It is not rare that when performing a labiaplasty, especially via a "linear/trim" technique, that the surgeon is not sure how to handle the lowermost portion of the labia, especially if the redundancy involves the area at the posterior vaginal opening. Your revision, if performed by an experienced surgeon savvy in working around the posterior commissure, should well accomplish what you wish. I see you live in Phoenix. My suggestion is that you visit websites of surgeons in your area to see if any have multiple "before & after" photos specifically showing posterior commissure work. You may have to "travel" to find the right person, but only a short distance. In addition to Dr. Reed in Davis, CA, I have trained Dr. David Ghozland in Los Angeles, and of course I do this work in Sacramento. All of us are a short plane ride away, and are set up to accommodate "out-of-town" patients. Our fees are similar. Check out websites & photos, and RealSelf's link below...
