I have kept the idea of labiaplasty in the back of my mind for several years. Comfort was a big issue. I always felt like I had to "adjust" myself in my skinny jeans. I was hoping to improve my appearance as well. I filled out a request for info on my surgeons website, and was scheduled for a consultation within a week. I decided to set the date for surgery a month later. I began the antibiotic a day before. The day of surgery I arrived a little early. The office was about an hr away from me. I was directed to take pain medication and Xanax during this h. I was also given numbing cream upon arrival, but I don't really think it was enough. The numbing shots were the worst even with the cream. I don't think the procedure itself was even 20 minutes and I had a lot of pain. I was still being numbed as the surgeon went. Even the stitching hurt. I did get dressed and walk out just fine. The first 24 were the worst as expected. I held of looking for as long as possible as I knew it wouldn't be pretty. When I did look I felt mutilated and couldn't tell what was what. 4 days post op and I amstill a very dark purple and in a lot of pain and stinging. Nothing looks even right now and I'm extremely horrified!

5 Days-No improvement

I am still in a lot of pain, with plenty of swelling and bruising. Also bleeding here and there. I was very nervous of my recovery, and not to my surprise it's been horrid. The sight of my area makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry. I would not wish the way I look on anyone and I have no idea how this will ever turn into anything decently appealing. I do have the "dog ears" but I can't stand to even touch the outer portion. At this time I continue to second guess the procedure

Day 6

I do not believe I have had any changes what so ever appearance wise. And my lady bits still hurt so bad!! What have I done??? I emailed the surgeons office, still waiting to hear back. I return to school tomorrow. I terrified of the thought. I expected to be in a much more comfortable state than I am! However, I want to be able to get up and move around.
