Help after a botched labiaplasty procedure
“How could this have happened?”
“Will I ever look normal again?”
If you’re one of the many women who feel disappointed – or even shocked – by the outcome of a labial surgery meant to enhance your appearance, you may be asking yourself these questions.
How could this have happened?
Most mistakes occur during a reduction of the labia minora. This is also the most frequently performed procedure in the female genital area. You likely had a good feeling when choosing your surgeon. The positive reviews and social media presence were reassuring. So what went wrong?
Here are some examples of unsuccessful labia reductions:

A. The most common mistakes and how to correct them
A.1. Small Penis Deformity
If the labia minora below the clitoris are excessively shortened, while the excess tissue is left in the area of the clitoris and above it, the result is a very unattractive aesthetic appearance that resembles a small penis (small penis deformity). This is exacerbated if the clitoris naturally protrudes (clitoral protrusion).
Example 1
This shows an outcome in which only the section below the clitoris was shortened. The excess tissue around the clitoral hood and above was not tightened and a clitoral protrusion was not corrected. This results in the appearance of a small penis (small penis deformity).
Example 2
Patient with almost complete amputation of the labia minora below the clitoris after an improperly performed labiaplasty.
Example 3
The same patient standing up.
For most patients, dealing with the outcome of a small penis deformity causes significant distress, both physically and psychologically. Firstly, the aesthetic appearance is worse than before the initial procedure; secondly, the lack of labia minora below the clitoris means that the vaginal opening is no longer protected. This can lead to infections, skin irritation and pain.
Despite these severe consequences, a positive outcome is often possible, especially if there is sufficient tissue above the clitoris for reconstruction.
How is this done?
Two symmetrical, elongated skin flaps are carefully cut out in the upper clitoral region, rotated 180 degrees at their base and fitted to the side of the vaginal opening (lateral prepuce flaps).

Two skin flaps (lateral prepuce flaps) are cut out in the tissue of the upper clitoral area and rotated downward.
The flaps are then repositioned on either side of the vaginal opening.
The procedure forms new, small labia while removing excess tissue above the clitoris and tightening the clitoral hood.
As with the composite reduction labiaplasty, this can also eliminate a clitoral protrusion. This procedure corrects the appearance of the small penis deformity with optimal results, both aesthetically and functionally.

A.2. Excessive resection of the Labia Minora above and below the Clitoris
The most challenging deformity to correct occurs when the labia minora have been excessively shortened not only below the clitoris, but also in the area of the clitoral hood and above. In such cases, there is insufficient tissue left above the clitoris to perform the reconstruction using lateral flaps as described above. The only option remaining is reconstruction using vaginal skin, called vaginal skin advancement.
Complete amputation of the labia minora.
(Reconstruction of the labia minora using skin grafts is not possible, as they will lack sensation and look unattractive due to a different skin color).
Correction through vaginal skin advancement
With vaginal skin advancement, the skin is detached on both sides of the base of the former labia minora towards the vaginal opening, almost up to the base of the hymen (called the hymenal seam), and up to the base of the labia majora. Both skin flaps are then joined at their base using sutures, creating new labia.
The blue arrows indicate the base of the former labia minora. The skin located medial to the blue arrows marks the skin of the vaginal opening, while the skin lateral to the arrows (orange) is the area that transitions to the labia majora.
Both skin flaps are detached (orange) and moved outward.
By moving the skin flaps outward, a new labia is formed on both sides of the vaginal opening.
Both techniques, i.e. the lateral flap technique (A1) and reconstruction by vaginal skin advancement (A2) are often combined, especially in cases where the lateral flaps are not long or narrow.
★★★★★
A.3. Other Deformities
Other deformities, such as asymmetries, frayed wound edges and gaps in the labia, are relatively common and can often be easily corrected.
Gaps
in the labia minora are mainly seen after a wedge resection, a technique that reduces labial size by removing a triangular section of tissue below the clitoris. Fusion of the resulting defects sometimes results in gaps if the edges of the wound do not heal properly. The gaps must then be resected again and the wound edge carefully joined in multiple layers.
Wedge Resection
This labia reduction procedure frequently results in gaps.

Asymmetries
frequently occur if the incision lines are not drawn carefully before the procedure. In addition, after labia minora reduction, it is essential to place a moist compress between the labia to prevent one side from slipping under the other during the healing process. This helps ensure that both side heal symmetrically and reduces the risk of later asymmetry in shape or length.

C. How do deformities occur?
Selecting the wrong doctor is the biggest risk!
The main cause of a botched labiaplasty is a doctor who can’t perform the procedure, uses the wrong technique, incorrect suturing, etc. There is no training for intimate procedures such as labia reduction, neither for plastic surgeons nor for gynecologists. And there are no surgical standards, in terms of the procedure itself or its proper indication and postoperative care.
The surgery is often seriously underestimated with the mindset, “We’ll just cut it off quickly”.
The use of improper instruments, incorrect suturing, and most critically the wrong technique, can then lead to catastrophic outcomes, including disfigurement.
In the meantime, you can find many practitioners on the internet and social media who offer and perform labiaplasty procedures. They all may appear confident and experienced, have prime reputations and good reviews.
But beware: Reviews can be bought and negative reviews can be removed! So when choosing a doctor, it’s essential to ask yourself: How many years of experience do they have? Have they published papers on the topic? Have they lectured at medical congresses? Are they a certified specialist in plastic surgery or gynecology? Are they an active member of medical associations? What do their surgical outcomes look like?
Important information
Labia Revision
Result, shape and appearance
Unfortunately, it is much more difficult to achieve an optimal result if damage has been caused in a previous surgery.
However, the aim is to achieve your desired result and resolve any issues (pain etc.).
For more information on the ideal shape and the different techniques, please see the following: Labia reduction
Function and anatomy
Here is some important medical information about the function and structure of the labia:
The small (inner) vaginal lips seal the vaginal opening and prevent infections from developing inside the vagina, and other conditions.
The large (outer) vaginal lips enclose the small vaginal lips and offer mechanical protection.
The clitoris is the only organ that purely serves the purpose of sexual stimulation
The labia cover and seal the vaginal opening, protecting the vagina from drying out and stopping foreign bodies and pathogens from making their way in. Additional mechanical protection is offered by the fat pads of the labia majora.
The labia minora extend from the mons pubis towards the anus, encompassing the clitoris and the vaginal opening. The part of the labia adjacent to the clitoris is also referred to as the “clitoral hood”. In terms of morphology, the labia minora are equivalent to the foreskin of the penis. They are of secondary importance for sexual stimulation.
The term clitoris is commonly used to refer to a small, pea-shaped anatomical structure located a little above the urethral opening. However, the clitoris is not spherical but rather band-like in shape, similar to a small penis, with only the tip (glans clitoris) protruding and being visible. Its shaft (corpus clitoris) extends in a deeper layer across the pubis and is thus not visible. The clitoris is responsible for sexual stimulation.
Getting there
Labia reconstruction is performed under local anesthesia. It is important that you do not take any blood-thinning medications (e.g. aspirin, etc.) 14 days prior to the surgery. Please bring all relevant documents with you to the preliminary consultation, if possible including the surgical report from the initial operation, so that we can get a good idea of what exactly happened during the previous surgery.
Before the surgery
If the procedure is being performed under local anesthesia, no special preparation is required. If the procedure is being performed under general anesthesia, you should fast, i.e. refraining from eating, drinking, and smoking, for at least six hours prior to your surgery.
You should stop taking medications that affect coagulation, e.g. aspirin 100 mg, etc., 14 days prior to the surgery. Please completely shave your genital area before the procedure.
The result
You will be given a delicate work of art. Reconstructive surgery usually involves mobilizing and displacing tissue. That is why circulation is a primary concern. Please do not smoke! Cooling and compression as well as follow-up treatment are determined on an individual basis depending on your procedure and healing process. Avoid mechanical friction as much as possible for eight weeks after the procedure. Please also note the following:
After the surgery
After the surgery, you can rest at our practice. Please do not drive home or back to your hotel yourself. Get someone to pick you up or we can call a taxi for you. Cool the area and rest. You should walk as little as possible. You may experience a mild burning or pressing sensation, especially during the first night. This is normal. However, some patients feel it more than others and, despite the pain medication prescribed by us, a few patients may experience significant discomfort. The sensation typically disappears or greatly improves after the first night. On the first postoperative day, the wound is checked and the dressing is changed at our practice.
After the third day, you can start showering again, but may only use clear water and no soap during the first week. The sutures are absorbable and do not need to be removed. Absorption of the suture may sometimes be associated with severe itching, which can be alleviated by using special creams or ointments.
The surgery will only affect your daily activities for a short time. Depending on your profession, you may be able to return to work as early as two to three days after surgery. It is very important that you try to avoid any friction and forces acting on this area for eight weeks following the procedure: no sexual intercourse, jogging, cycling, horse riding, etc.! Likewise, tampons may only be used again after this period of time. To optimize the healing process, you should place a compress between the labia so that they do not touch. You should do this over a period of two weeks.
You will be provided with the cell phone number of Prof. Gress so that you can contact him any time should you have any questions or experience an emergency.
FAQ / Questions and Answers

Risks
Risks and potential complications
Volume replenishment with autologous fatty tissue is usually overcorrected as some of the transplanted fat will deplete again. To what extent, however, cannot be predicted. In some cases, some fat will need to be injected again after six months.
After the procedure, there will be some swelling which will generally start to subside gradually after the first or second day. Around 80% of the swelling will subside within the first six weeks after surgery; the remaining swelling takes comparatively longer to disappear, in some cases up to six months. You may experience minor bruising. You can help prevent this by wearing firm-fitting underwear immediately after the procedure to apply some pressure to the area.
Varying levels of pain can also be expected, especially during the first night after surgery. You should, however, be able to tolerate this quite well if you take the pain medication prescribed by us.
Wound healing may be disturbed, especially if the area is exposed to excessive forces too early. It is therefore crucial that you avoid any kind of strong friction (e.g. sexual intercourse) during the first six weeks after surgery. Likewise, you should not use tampons during this period.
Once the wound has healed, scars in the genital area are usually very inconspicuous and hardly noticeable, even on close inspection. Theoretically, scars can develop to become thick, reddened, or painful. However, this has so far not been observed in the genital area. Special ointments would help in this case. To promote good scar healing, you should squeeze the scars between your fingers two weeks after surgery. We will show you exactly how to do this at our practice.
Sensory disturbances are not to be expected. You may experience some numbness or sensitivity to touch in the beginning, but this will disappear once the wound has fully healed.
Postoperative bleeding, asymmetries, wound infections, etc. are very rare.
Laser or scalpel?
Laser or scalpel?
We perform the procedure using a radiofrequency surgical device. Similar to a laser, the tissue is cut using thermal energy; however, the tissue is separated through contact between the wire and the skin, instead of a light beam. The advantage is that any trembling of the hand is not transferred to the incision line, as is the case with a laser. It is virtually impossible to perform this procedure using a scalpel as a precise incision line cannot be achieved, given the looseness of the tissue.
Your contribution to the healing process
What can I do to promote healing?
Take the medications as prescribed by us. You will be given a painkiller that reduces swelling plus an antibiotic. Please avoid any kind of friction for at least six weeks after surgery! To aid the healing process, place a compress between the labia during the first two weeks after surgery so that they do not touch.
Working
When will I be able to return to work?
You can return to work after just two days. You should find a sitting position that is comfortable for you. Should your work involve a lot walking, allow at least three days for recovery.
Shaving
When can I start shaving again?
Please completely shave your genital area before the procedure. After surgery, you should not shave or wax, etc. the area for six weeks.
Periods
Can the procedure be performed during menstruation?
Having your period on the day of surgery does not constitute a problem.
Pain
We will issue you with a prescription for two effective painkillers to treat your pain. These should prove sufficient. Patients generally experience mild burning and varying levels of pain the first night after labia reduction/labiaplasty. This tends to be much better or has disappeared completely by the following day.
Sexual intercourse
When can I resume sex?
Sexual intercourse is to be strictly avoided during the first six weeks after surgery as the significant friction would open up the wound edges again. As long as the sutures do not get in the way, you can have oral sex again four weeks after surgery. If you are only undergoing volume replenishment of the labia majora with autologous fatty tissue, sexual intercourse is permitted after just two weeks.
How many appointments do I need?
For outpatient operations, you will need a total of three appointments:
consultation/preliminary examination, surgery, and a follow-up examination the morning after the operation. The consultation and surgical procedure may not take place on the same day. There has to be an interval of at least 24 hours between the initial consultation and the surgery itself.
After the operation, you should spend the night in Munich. We will be glad to help you find a suitable hotel.
Traveling from afar
We offer to accommodate consultation and surgery in one stay for patients who have a long journey to get to Munich. This would involve arriving the day before surgery for a consultation and physical examination with Prof. Gress. The procedure is performed the next day and the follow-up examination is carried out the day after. You would therefore need to spend two nights in Munich.
Sport
When can I resume sporting activities?
It is extremely important that you avoid any strong friction in the genital area for at least six weeks to support the healing process. Sexual intercourse, horse riding, jogging, cycling, etc. are prohibited during this time! We recommend that you use a cross trainer or stepper if you would like to exercise during this period, as the leg position is somewhat wider, meaning there is no friction.
Showering, water, soap
What intimate hygiene is best for me after surgery?
You can take a shower after two days, but may only use clear water for one week. Please only use pH-neutral products. Do not take a bath as this would soften the wound edges! We only use absorbable sutures. Unpleasant itching may be experienced along with suture absorption. We recommend that you use Bepanthen ointment or pure Aloe Vera gel to alleviate this symptom.
Swimming
When can I resume swimming?
You should avoid chlorine-treated water in public swimming pools for six weeks. You are allowed to swim again in lakes or the sea after four weeks.
Scar creams
Are scar creams recommended?
Since scars in the genital area generally tend to heal very well, these are usually not necessary.
Sauna, sun bed
When can I be in the sun or use a sun bed again?
Sun and UV rays have a negative impact on scar healing. Please ensure that the area is protected from them for a period of six months.
Childbirth
Does labia reduction have an impact on giving birth?
No. If you become pregnant after the procedure, you can give birth naturally. The surgery does not affect the process of giving birth, and conversely, giving birth has no negative impact of the result achieved with the procedure.
Clothing
What kind of clothing is advisable?
On the day of surgery, please bring along firm-fitting underwear to wear after the procedure to apply some pressure to the area. This helps prevent excessive swelling and reduces the risk of postoperative bleeding. Then from the first day after surgery, you will feel more comfortable wearing loose clothing.
Final result
When will I be able to see the final result of the labiaplasty?
Around 80% of the swelling will have subsided within six weeks or so. The rest of the swelling is barely visible but will disappear relatively slowly and it may be up to six months before it has subsided completely. After this, there will be no further changes and the end result will be achieved.
Sutures, stitches
The stitches are made of absorbable sutures and do not need to be removed. They can, however, start to itch after a few days. If this happens, you can apply a sterile ointment (e.g. Bepanthen) to the wound to relieve the itching or have the sutures removed from 12 days after the labiaplasty (by us or by your gynecologist or family doctor).
Simultaneous correction of labia minora and majora
It is not possible to perform a reduction of both the labia minora and majora in one single surgery. The healing process is extremely complicated which would have a negative impact on the result. There should be an interval of around six months between each procedure.
A reduction of the labia minora can, however, be combined with a procedure to fill the labia majora with autologous fatty tissue (lipostructure).
Insurance
Absorption of costs by health insurance companies
Statutory health insurance providers shall only bear the costs, if at all, in accordance with their rates and after examination by the medical service. We do not work in partnership with any of the statutory insurance companies.
Private insurance companies, on the other hand, are less restrictive and cover part or all of the costs if there is a medical indication. A medical indication exists if the patient is experiencing functional impairments, such as pain during sexual intercourse, playing sports, wearing tight clothing, hygiene problems with skin irritations, etc. Physical impairments can also represent an indication for surgery.
It is advisable to inquire in advance with your insurance company whether or to what extent the procedure is covered.
D. How should it have been done correctly?
D.1. Instruments
It is almost impossible to achieve a clean, precise result with a scalpel. Scalpels are not suitable for detailed incisions in this type of soft tissue. A radiofrequency device is the ideal instrument for achieving an optimal outcome in a labia reduction. It allows for extremely fine incisions in the tissue without applying pressure. A fine wire tip serves as a pen and is placed against the skin to follow the pre-marked incision lines. This is an even better method than a laser beam, which transfers slight hand movements to the skin, making smooth incisions difficult.

★★★★★
D.2. Sutures
In a labia reduction, proper closure of the wound edges is critical to ensure they can withstand the stresses of everyday activities, such as walking, sitting, etc. At the same time, the sutures must be very fine and absorbable, as it is very painful to pull them out later. For example, a composite reduction labiaplasty may require over 150 stitches using a very fine thread that is barely visible to the human eye. The suturing technique must be adapted to the specific area of the labia.
If the sutures are too thick or the wrong technique is used, the wound edges can become scalloped, resembling a string of pearls:
frayed wound edges resulting from excessively thick sutures and incorrect technique.
★★★★★
D.3. Surgical method
Selecting the right technique is crucial for achieving a successful labia reduction. The key factor is aligning patient expectations with the outcome, taking into account the individual starting point. Most surgical techniques focus solely on the labia minora below the clitoris and neglect the area of the clitoris and above. Since in most cases the labia are also enlarged in the area above the clitoris and the clitoral hood, surgical techniques that fail to address this are inappropriate and can result in unattractive outcomes.
Techniques to reduce the labia minora. The areas marked in red will be removed. All of the procedures shown here focus on shortening the labia minora below the clitoris; there is NO reduction or tightening of the tissue above the clitoris or the clitoral hood.
However, in the majority of cases, there is excess tissue not only in the section below the clitoris but also above it. The clitoris itself often protrudes slightly, which is referred to as clitoral protrusion.
The composite reduction labiaplasty is considered the ideal surgical technique for achieving a harmonious reduction of the labia minora in all areas, while also addressing clitoral protrusion.

E. My Step Toward a Beautiful Result
Every iatrogenic deformity – that is, a deformity caused by medical action – is unique and requires a tailored approach to treatment. For this reason, it is important that I first understand your symptoms in order to assess how I can best assist you. Sometimes a single corrective procedure is insufficient and an additional procedure, after an appropriate healing period, may be necessary to achieve the optimal result.
Please provide the necessary information by completing this form and please include photos that accurately reflect your current condition. We will reply as soon as possible.
For patients traveling long distances, we are pleased to offer a combined appointment. This includes a personal consultation with a thorough examination, during which all of your questions will be answered in detail. The procedure is typically performed the following day, usually under local anesthesia. The day after the procedure, you will return to the clinic for a check-up, after which you can safely drive or fly home. Your stay in Munich would therefore typically require only two nights.
Even if you are feeling desperate and deeply unhappy with the outcome of your initial procedure – and I completely understand how difficult it can be to trust again – I want to assure you that, with my extensive experience, I can help you move beyond this painful chapter. You can have a beautiful result that allows you to feel confident in your own body again, embracing your femininity without hesitation.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Botched labiaplasty: Professional labiarevision can improve your quality of life
Any intimate surgery in the female genital area requires a certain amount of courage on the part of the patients concerned. Women often think long and hard about whether to open up to an expert and ultimately decide to undergo such a procedure. Botched labiaplasty is therefore particularly painful for those affected. In this case, individual labiaplasty can correct the mistakes made during the previous operation. You can place your trust in Prof. Dr. Gress. As an internationally respected and renowned expert, he also relies on a gentle, promising procedure for labiarevision that he developed himself.
Every labiarevision requires individual planning and trust
Labiarevision, which is technically referred to as nymphoplasty, usually focuses on removing tissue that is considered excess. Often, this is not just an aesthetic problem. The tissue causes unpleasant discomfort in everyday life. Restrictions are particularly noticeable when wearing tight trousers, thongs and bikinis, but also when cycling and horse riding. Often, the women affected also have to contend with unpleasant pain during sexual intercourse. Labiarevision can put an end to these unpleasant symptoms.
Trust the renowned practice of Prof. Dr. Gress for your labiarevision
With such an intimate procedure as labiarevision, it is important that you know you are in the best hands right from the start. We are delighted that you have placed your trust in us following a possibly botched labiaplasty performed by another doctor. You can expect a state-of-the-art, comfortable practice in the heart of Munich. In our private clinic, our top priority is to make you feel comfortable and safe. Arrange an initial consultation now to get to know us.
