Wedge Labiaplasty Stitches Burst, Open Wound- Will It Heal?

This is an unusual complication of a wedge labiaplasty. Your wound will eventually heal but it may take weeks.  You may need a revision to repair a deformity, but I would not attempt any revision for 4-5 months in order for the swelling and firmness to resolve.  Just keep the area clean and apply antibacterial cream as your surgeon said.

Thank you for sharing.  It should heal with proper post operative care however you will most likely need a revision.  Be sure to choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that specializes in this procedure and is well known in the medical community for it.

First, unless you sustained unusual trauma, assuming the closure was solid to start with and accomplished with sutures that are not fast absorbing, dehiscence (separation of the closure) is rare.  Having said that and now that it has happened, I'm in agreement with Dr. Alter, that your choices are protection of the area by avoiding further trauma, application of antibiotic ointment and padding daily, use of topical anesthetic like Oraljel or HemAway for pain, and allow secondary healing, OR, return to your surgeon for early re-operation and revision (secondary closure).
