Labiaplasty wound separation - what to do? (Photo)

December 26, 2016
Asked By:ada005 in Stockholm, SE

Hi I had labiaplasty wedge procedure 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately wound on the right side split apart and I got infection. I was re-stichted after one week from the procedure. And it separated again and looks much worse than before. Now I know I shouldn't have the restitching. I know I should wait 6 months for the revision. But what kind of technique should it be done? What can I do now to improve healing? I don't want to have this awful split. :( Thanks in advance!
