What are the signs that a botched labiaplasty surgery has gone wrong?

As vaginal tightening is an invasive procedure, it is common for women to feel some pain and discomfort for several weeks following labiaplasty surgery as the expected swelling and bruising reduces and heals. After this recovery period, there may be some indications that something has gone wrong.

If you experience the following symptoms, it may be a sign of negligence:

• Excessive labial reduction/amputation

• Ongoing pain, burning or discomfort

• Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse

• Altered labial sensation

Issues such as asymmetry or excessive removal of the labia minora, complications around the clitoral hood, and the removal of too much tissue are common signs of a procedure gone wrong.

These physical effects can often trigger a negative emotional response, which can lead to disappointment or depression as a result of the unsuccessful surgery. If this procedure is carried out using a general anaesthetic, there are various associated risks, though they are rare. These include anaphylaxis, infection and, in extremely rare cases, death.

Is there a time limit on making a labiaplasty claim?

If you have had a labiaplasty surgery go wrong, you have a three year time limit to make a claim for compensation. Generally, this time limit begins from the date when the negligence occurred.

However, it is not always immediately clear whether the issues you are experiencing are known complications of labiaplasty or whether they are the result of a botched procedure. Thus, the three year time limit to make a labiaplasty claim can also apply from the point at which you realised (or ought to have realised) the procedure had gone wrong.

If you think you are eligible to make a labiaplasty claim, we strongly recommend that you get in touch with us today to start the process.

How much compensation can you get for corrective surgery after a labiaplasty gone wrong?

The amount of compensation you could secure from making a labiaplasty claim will be entirely dependent on the unique circumstances of your situation. There are a variety of issues which can arise from a botched labiaplasty and the compensation amount you are entitled to will depend on the complexity and severity of these issues.

As a rough guide, compensation for your physical and psychological injuries could amount to up to circa £50,000 or more and in addition you could recover your financial losses including the costs of any corrective surgery or therapy and loss of earnings.
