I've waited for years to get this procedure done, but I was too shy to shop around and find the right surgeon. The first place that came in handy due to the proximity to my workplace. I thought I could just go for the procedure and return to the office without anybody knowing, except my husband who was supportive and provided the money for it. The surgeon ended up to be a only gynecologist, not a plastic surgeon, who went to California to learn the trim procedure using laser. He doesn't do the wedge method. Anyway, as I hated the dark color of my labia contour, I went for it. I had a lot of tissue but I ended up with barely a bit on one side. I have no labia left. I was in shock and the doctor apologized to me saying 1 of 10 of these surgeries do not succeed and I was the one. I was in disbelief and got depressed. Anyway the doctor reimbursed me for most of the surgery cost. But this did not compensate my loss. I'm disfigured down there. Since then, I consulted 2 real plastic surgerons who have expertise for years in labiaplasty procedures. Both of them said there is no much left tissue to work with except the clit hood flaps and a small piece around the vagina but each one of them proposed a different way to compensate the missing segment of 3 cm of tissue, one by using the hood tissue and strtch it to attach it to the lower bit of remaining piece to tissue, and the other by using what plastic surgeons use as V-Y method normally used on the skin, not on mucus. It's a first in the revision of botched labiaplasty world.. I'm still thinking about this proposed solution but there is no guarantee it will work and heal as on the outer skin. I would appreciate any feedback in this regard..

You should maybe consider Dr Gary Alter, he seems to be the expert in correcting botched labiaplasty, there are photos on his website, he uses the clitoral hood flap technique to reconstruct a labium, i had botched surgery and I look like a freak, yours is not bad as you have a right labium and plenty of clitoral hood skin, I wouldn't care if he was miles away or that bit more expensive, he is worth considering if he is the best, and you want the next surgery to be the result you want, you really don't look bad, you wanna see me I'm mutilated. But contact him for advice.

Thanks for your feedback Loulou55. Actually I did consult Dr Alter 4 months ago and I was about to go to his office in NY for the revision because I know he's THE surgeon for this type of complex reconstruction surgeries, but I had to drop it due to many factors, first the clinic is not in the same country I live in, second the cost is extremely high ($10k) other than the travel and living expenses for me and the other person to accompany me for a week for post-op follow-ups due to the important number of stitches needed in my case, per Dr Alter, let alone the lot of med paper work to fill out by my family doctor for the clinic in NY. Anyway, I'm still thinking about it but I don't want to rush it this time... I learned it the hard way! I'm also trying to find the equivalent to Dr Alter in my area in Montreal or in Toronto where I have a relative who can help..

Hi.. i think u look fine! I had mine done by a gynecolog in montreal too and it has totally destroyed my life. My self esteem is down..! I ended up with dog ears at the clip and a little little bit in the middle and then some again at the entrance of the vagina. And it is so ruffled. . I considered Dr alter too but first I can imagine the cost is high and second my anxiety can't stop making me be afraid of another failure. . What if it goes wrong? Please let me know if u find another Dr alter here.
