Is it normal to have very sensitive frenulum knobs this far post op? Also, my labia still hurt when direct pressure is applied. Healing has been a wreck and on top of that it's not aesthetically pleasing. I'm not sure if I will have permanent pain/extreme sensitivity down there. I'm fine if i'm casually walking, sitting, etc, but if anything rubs on it too hard or even when I wipe, it hurts. I talked to my OBGYN and she said that labiaplasties can result in permanent swelling and pain.

Answer: Labiaplasty pain As the inventor and innovator of the wedge technique in 1994, I reconstruct many women who have had labia reductions by other surgeons, both wedge and trimming techniques. You apparently had a trimming labiaplasty which resulted in the chronic pain at the tips of the frenulum and a poor aesthetic result. 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. You will need various reconstructive techniques to give you a good appearance and to eliminate your pain. You can have a much better result by a very skilled reconstructive labiaplasty surgery. Approximately 40% of the surgeries I perform are revisions of other surgeons' labiaplasties. I would use multiple wedge excisions to remove the painful areas and reattach your frenulum. I will do other techniques to improve your result and symmetry. You only get one good chance to reconstruct you, so be patient and ask a lot of questions. I suggest you include some photos to allow me to accurately make my recommendation.

Answer: Sensitive frenulum and labia nearly 9 months post-op. Feeling like this is permanent - is this normal? Thank you for sharing your question. After 9 months much of your symptoms should have improved and resolved. Without photographs to provide additional information I would recommend seeking a second opinion.
