Before & After
Labiaplasty Revision -Reconstruction using wedges and other techniques
All patients included in the gallery below had their initial labiaplasty performed by other physicians not in any way affiliated with Dr. Alter.
In order to see the detail that Dr. Alter goes to when revisiting a botched labiaplasty, we shoot all before/after zoomed in and no photos have been doctored in any way. Highly skilled in correcting botched labiaplasties, Dr. Alter has spent decades perfecting his vaginal reconstructive techniques, granting women the ability to attain a more aesthetically appealing and normal vaginal appearance.
Patient 1
22-year-old who had a previous left trimming labiaplasty which left her with severe asymmetry. She underwent reconstruction of the left labium and an “Alter V” wedge labiaplasty on the right. a. Pre-operation. b. Pre-operation with labia open c. Post-operation d. Post-operation with labia open.
Patient 2
45-year-old who had trimming labiaplasty resulting in a bulky clitoral hood and bulky upper labia minora with severe scalloping and irregular edges. She also had partial amputation of both labia minora. Reconstruction included “Alter V” wedge labia excisions of the upper labia minora and lower clitoral hood plus scar revisions of the labia to reduce the scalloping. This patient’s surgery preceded the clitoropexy procedure. a. Pre-operation. b. Post-operation
Patient 3

a. Pre-operation. b. Post-operation
Patient 4

Post-operation with labia open.
Patient 5
30-year-old who had a laser trimming labiaplasty and perineal elevation. This caused scalloping and asymmetry of the labia minora and a high vaginal lip preventing intercourse.

Post-operation d. Post-operation with labia open.
Patient 9
44-year-old woman with clitoris enlargement and bilateral failed labiaplasties with dehiscence, scalloping, and asymmetry. She underwent a clitoris and clitoral hood reduction along with bilateral labia minora reconstruction. She had two wedges removed from the right labium and one wedge from the left labium with a minor revision of her posterior lip. a. Pre-operation. b. Pre-operation with labia open c. Post-operation d. Post-operation with labia open.

She underwent a clitoropexy with a hood reduction, closure of the prepuce over her clitoris, and multiple wedge excisions of her labia minora to achieve symmetry.a. Pre-operation. b. Pre-operation with labia open c. Post-operation d. Post-operation with labia open.
Patient 11
20-year-old woman who underwent a three staged procedure to fully achieve reconstruction. She presented after a trimming labiaplasty and prepuce reduction with a large clitoral hood, overexposure of her clitoris, labial asymmetry and scalloping with partial removal of her lower labia, and an open perineum. Her procedures included a clitoropexy with hood reduction, closure of her prepuce over the clitoris, advancement of her lower labia minora, “Alter V” wedge excisions of her labia minora, and a perineoplasty. a. Pre-operation. b. Post-operation
Patient 12
18-year-old who had a trimming labiaplasty. She presented with a very large, bulky clitoral hood and thick labia minora enlargement with scalloping. She underwent a clitoropexy with a clitoral hood reduction and large “Alter V” wedge excisions.
a. Pre-operation. b. Pre-operation with labia open c. Post-operation d. Post-operation with labia open.
Patient 13

a. Pre-operation. b. Post-operation
Patient 14
28-year-old had a trimming labiaplasty with a clitoral hood reduction. She complained that the hood and clitoris moved to the right and disliked the labial scallops and asymmetry. She underwent a release of the right clitoral hood with a vaginal mucosal graft in the labial sulcus along with multiple wedge excisions of the labia minora to improve scalloping and asymmetry.a.
