The plastic surgeon I consulted had suggested the trim technique. The more I read about it, the more Id prefer the wedge technique. Do you think it would be reasonable to think my surgeon would do that technique instead and that Id still get a good result? I dont want to look unnatural or Barbie-like, as some would say.
In 2022, I underwent labiaplasty surgery in London. As swelling reduced, it became clear the top edge had been cut into an unnatural right angle before the clitoral area, almost as if it should have been sewn down rather than left sticking out. I sent photos to the clinic, but they insisted it was healing perfectly and said full results could take 612 months. However, this area now sticks out, is extremely sensitive, and causes daily discomfort in clothingwhich was one of the main reasons I sought the procedure in the first place. I also noticed stitching that was so tight it caused extra scarring, creating a kind of Frankenstein appearance. In other spots, the tissue didnt fully knit together, leaving stretched scars along mismatched edges. I feel anxious and devastated. I need revision surgery for both physical and emotional reasons. But the original surgeon has been struck off the GMC for negligence, is uncontactable, and reportedly fled the country. I tried to pursue legal action, but was told he was likely uninsuredothers had similar cases but couldnt claim damages. The clinic has offered revision, but I dont trust them, and I suspect I now need a real specialist. Can anyone advise what may have gone wrong in the original surgery, what I should look for in a revision specialist, and roughly what the costs might be?
Hello I am a 37 year old female. Height 54. Weight 112lbs. I had a trim technique labiaplasty with CHR done 7.5 months ago and am no longer noticing any further healing changes. I am overall satisfied with my results except one little area where the left side of my clitoral hood meets my labia, it didnt heal as nicely as the right side and is just a noticeable difference in texture and size compared to the other side and that tissue still comes untucked at times which was a main reason I had the surgery to not have to tuck anymore. Otherwise, the scars are barely noticeable and everything else is even and very natural looking. I saw my surgeon for my final post-op today and inquired about a revision to that one spot and she said she wouldnt revise anything because she doesnt want to take too much tissue away and that labia typically arent completely symmetrical. Which I can respect that and I understand where she is coming from because other than this one spot it was a great surgical outcome.. but I still feel that that area could use just a minor revision so that it is more comparable to the other side. Am I chasing perfection or should I just let it go? Should I get a second opinion? And my other question is are there any non surgical options that could help with an area that needs just a minor revision to even out tissue? Thanks so much in advance!!
I am looking into getting labiaplasty but I am very nervous and afraid. I have read that it is a very simple procedure and it is very rare to have complications. But can it change your sensation, feeling, sensitivity, sexual health in any way? Apparently nerve damage can occur, what are the chances of that occurring? Is the surgery then worth the risk? I really appreciate your thoughts and expertise and would love any recommendations for an experienced surgeon.
Im wondering if labia minora can be resurfaced to help with texture, color, and the appearance of fordyce spots. Does anyone preform this? If so, what is recovery like and does it cause any shrinking of tissue?
Hello doctors I consider having labiaplasty + hood reduction, and I want to have deeper understanding of it . 1) How are those two folds on the sides of the clitoris (red) define anatomically? Parts of the labia, clitoris hood or a different classification? 2) Does it have higher risk on operate these folds (since their proximity to the clit or another risk cause)? 3) What are the surgical approaches for that? Thanks a lot
Hello doctors, I am on my labiaplasty and CHR research. I want to reduce the prepuce folds- not a full trimming, just a reduction. The skin on the front side of my prepuce (picture 2) is much more sensitive than the skin on the back side (picture 3), and I want to preserve this sensation. Is there a technique that enables removing the backed skin (and a little bit of the front) superficially? I tried drawing on myself the parts I think should be removed, do you think it is possible? thank you
I'm fully healed after having had a labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction but I'm very unhappy with my result. What, if anything, can be done to make it look better? Can the right labium be rebuilt? I'm UK based but will go anywhere. Thank you
20f, mixed race, 56 130lbs. My labia minora bother me during sex and other physical activities. Ive also found that my labia majora have lost volume, and my perineum has stretched. I dont care about changing the appearance of my inner lips since my goal is comfort.
I have lichen sclerosus on the clitoris and its well controlled. I discussed having labiaplasty with my dermatologist and she was concerned that the way the procedure is done can make it spread. Therefore I wanted to get a plastic surgeons opinion on whether the surgery would worsen lichen sclerosus or not
