Possibilites
of Corrective Surgery

There should be two aims in this regard:

1. To resolve the issues

2. To achieve the original desired result

Correction
Generally speaking, frayed wound edges can be smoothed out, contour defects and gaps can be closed, and undercorrection can be revised. However, it is more difficult to replace tissue when too much has been removed.
Reconstruction is more complicated in the case of overcorrection or a microphallic deformity and a complete repair may not always be possible.

There are essentially two possibilities for restoring the labia minora:

1. Reconstruction using excess tissue above the clitoris

2. Reconstruction using vaginal skin

Ad 1:

This technique consists of freeing two longitudinal flaps lateral to the shaft of the clitoris and rotating them downwards to be inserted and fixed into the remaining labia minora tissue

Ad 2:

If the previous approach is not possible, especially when there is no available excess tissue above the clitoris, the labia minora have to be reconstructed using vaginal skin.
Skin grafts are not considered for reconstruction purposes as they are not sensitive and the appearance is less aesthetically pleasing.

As with any surgical procedure, a difficult healing process may have a negative effect on the expected result. It is important not to put the area under stress too soon after labia reduction as the wound may not heal properly and may cause visible changes. You should therefore follow your doctor’s instructions without fail and avoid any kind of friction, in particular sexual intercourse, for at least six weeks after the operation. The most important thing you can do is research and choose your surgeon with the greatest care as the majority of problems and the most severe complications arise as the result of a botched operation.
