Labiaplasty Revision – Correction After Labia Surgery Basel
Labiaplasty revision in Basel. If asymmetries, bothersome scars, tissue defects or an unnatural result remain once healing is complete, an individual correction can often improve the finding. What is realistically possible depends on the remaining tissue and on scar maturation and is assessed at a personal examination.

It is performed as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia at the practice at Spalenvorstadt 3 in Basel.

Concern
You are not alone with this.
Corrective procedures make up a considerable share of the labia surgery performed at this practice. Women come from Switzerland and abroad.
Dissatisfaction after such a procedure is more common than is publicly visible – because hardly anyone talks about it.
Your earlier decision is not judged here. The only question is what can still be improved today.

Treatment
Possible causes.
In my opinion it is worth speaking factually about techniques and sources of error – never about individuals. In my experience it is rarely one single factor but a combination of several.
- 01Too much tissue removed due to retraction: every reduction causes tissue to retract upwards and inwards along the line of tension. If this is not planned for, the result looks considerably tighter than intended.
- 02Wound healing problems after the wedge technique: the wedge technique carries an increased risk of wound dehiscence (around 8% in the current meta-analysis). If the wound edges open, notches, defects or asymmetries can remain.
- 03Smoking and e-cigarettes: nicotine impairs microcirculation and can increase the risk of a wound healing problem. This also applies to nicotine-containing e-cigarettes.
- 04Colour differences after impaired healing: in more pigmented skin (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), disturbed tissue often heals lighter. A visible transition between new and surrounding skin appears.
- 05Tissue-sparing incision: thermal tissue damage or an insufficiently tissue-sparing incision can impair wound healing and contribute to hardened or irregular scar edges.
- 06Suture technique: sutures placed too tightly or an unsuitable technique lead to raised, thickened wound edges.
- 07Suture positioning: out of concern about wound healing problems, sutures are sometimes not placed deep but in the middle of the labium – with a corresponding cosmetic result.
- 08No adjustment of the clitoral hood: if only the labia minora are reduced and the clitoral hood is not assessed, the balance of the overall appearance is lost and the clitoral region becomes more prominent.
- 09And: the psychological burden often weighs more heavily than the physical finding.

Who it's for
Checklist: what to look for before any surgery
- These points apply regardless of where you have surgery.
- Discuss exactly what bothers you and have the incision lines drawn for you
- Insist on written informed consent covering all risks
- Insist on photo documentation before and after the procedure
- Ask for example images to understand the plan and possible result
- Discuss complications and how they can be corrected
- Clarify whether corrective procedures are included in the price
- Look at the premises and pay attention to hygiene
- Be careful with very short-notice appointments – some lead time is not a bad sign
- Be careful with procedures offered as an add-on to another operation or at a promotional price
What can be corrected – and what cannot
What can be corrected – and what cannot
- Asymmetries between left and right
- Raised or thickened scars
- Protruding or remaining tissue
- Missing adjustment of the clitoral hood
- Large tissue defects after dehiscence
- Pronounced colour differences after impaired healing
- A result that looks as if no surgery had ever taken place is not promised
- What is possible can only be said after examination and once the scar has matured – hence the interval after the previous surgery
