What Can Be Done to Fix a Distorted Labia? (photo)
I recently (2.15.13) had a limited medial thigh lift and my vagina looks frightening and sunkened from the outside. I have no mons and the labia is half its orginal size. Doc siad to wait for the swelling to subside, but now everytime I've mentioned it he starts talking about doing the thigh lift again in 1-2 years. Is that the only way to repair it? Can it even be repair? If so, how and how much? I didn't take any before pictures of my vagina for comparision purposes--didn't think I'd need to.

You look like you are very fresh post op (within a few days or so). It is normal at this point to have swelling which can distort the appearance of your labia. You will be quite surprised how nice you look in several weeks to months as the swelling resolves. So, my advice at this point, is not to worry and allow the healing process from your surgery to run its course. If you have specific questions or concerns, you should also address them to your surgeon at your post...
