Labiaplasty - Holes and Separation (Wedge)

As a 22 year old woman, I cannot remember a time being aware of my labia and not hating it. I decided after years of thinking about it to take the plunge and get a labiaplasty. From what I gathered at the time, it was a pretty simple procedure, back on my feet in two days, thousands of « it changed my life » stories, and virtually no major risks of failure.
Well, I went to see my surgeon who recommended the wedge technique and I got it done on the 20th of February.
The picture I have inserted is from today, almost 1 month post-op. I will not talk about the insanity that was the recovery process and jump into my major problem.
On day 7 or 8 post-op, I noticed on my pictures that my left labia separated at the top of the incision, and I was obviously bummed but my surgeon did warn me about this specific risk.
Now, 1 month post-op and I finally can sort of get in there and take better pictures of my right labia that seemed fine all along only to find out that it has had the same issue. My right labia has separated at the base of the incision and has a hole in it.
Additionally, my left labia not only separated at the top but also at the base of the incision.
At this point I know that I am going to need a revision for my left labia that is not going to heal by itself but I was wondering if there was a chance for my right labia? The top of the incision seems to be healed and perhaps the holes could slowly heal together?
Your professionnal opinion on my situation is greatly appreciated!

I have a labial hole too that developed from a dissolved suture. Around the hole is scarring that needs to be cut out. So I understand your frustration and emotions. It's very difficult. I had my surgery in the beginning of January. Still trying to figure out the best way to fix this. I am waiting at least close to six months to have this revised, so it will be successful this time around. Probably some time in June. You will see a big difference 3 months Post op. And get a better idea of how to plan this.
I hope all goes well for you.
