It's been 10 months and I'm finally happy with my look.
Throughout my recovery I had good days and bad days.
I think now I can see that It just took me a little longer than most for everything to settle down in its new position.
I'm so happy with my look.
It really was worthing at 7-8 months when I still wasn't sure.
Then at about 9-10 months it's looked great and stayed the same.
I do still have swelling of the clitoral hood after sexual Intercourse but I had that before the procedure anyway.
I understand now I can't look perfect down there 24/7 but I am so much more confident with my new look and im pleased I did it.

This is why I had a modified wedge by an experienced doctor. I have no negatives after sex and and very happy with how I look. I do hope you get better but read that this was more usual with trim surgery and avoided it. :)

Thank you so much for sharing your recovery and posting pictures of your updates! I am currently in my 3rd week post op and can already see a difference but like you I have more swelling around my clitoral hood and hoping it goes down. You have a really great result, I hope I will look similar in a few months. I am trying to be patient but it's really hard. I'm glad I have read your story as it has given me hope that I will soon have what I've always wanted! Thanks again! :)

4 months photo update
I really believed that I wasn't improving as even up to 3.5 months it wasn't looking right down there.
My doctor first said 4 months until it's totally healed but now it will be 6-8 months for the final result.
Recently the swelling is getting less and less even in that extra 2 weeks so much has changed.
I am so pleased with the results compared to what I was before

I'm not sure I understand what your doctor's take on swelling is.
It seems he is saying you are swollen, so that's why you don't have any labia? It looks to me like he amputated it, it can't exactly grow back where he cut it off right? Just something I found a bit confusing, I don't like how he changed his answer about final results either.
But I did want to say I'm really happy you are feeling better about your results. Are you experiencing any pain? How does it look to you now? Wishing you luck in your recovery

It looks better now and yes a lot has been removed but compared to what it was before it's a small price to pay.
The swelling is to do with my clitoral hood and this will reduce in time and it has done a lot.
Just some days it gets over irritated but they are few and far between now.
I don't get any pain now and overall I am happier and less self concious of my appearance.
It's not perfect in any way but in the wise words of a friend of mine "a fanny's a fanny who cares" haha! and I am happy without the dangly bits so I guess all is good.
I'll post more photos soon

Update almost 4 months
I went to see my surgeon this week for a check up and I thought what they told me might be useful to share.
I mentioned that some days I have been looking really close to what I wanted and others days my clitoral hood would be so swollen that it would look like not enough skin had been removed.
The surgeon examined me and explained why this is happening.
They firstly said there is a very thin layer of flesh above the clitoris and it is so sensitive that even after months of surgery it can still swell a lot.
This is caused by fluid entering this thin layer and pushing any access skin up and that is what is giving me the look of a protruding clitoral hood.
This happens on a small scale whenever you have intercourse or irritate the area anyway so this is probably present even with someone who hasn't had any surgery.
But it is much more pronounced because of the surgery still.
He said after 6-8 months this should stop happening.
It really put my mind at rest as to why it kept looking so big one day and fine the next.
He also drew me a diagram showing me where the nerves are surrounding the clitoris and explained he would not want to removed anymore flesh because it could damage a nerve.
I'm so relieved and I'm starting to be really comfortable physically and mentally with how I look down there.
I will keep updating photos and If anyone has any questions id be happy to help the best I can

Hi there. Ok, so i think we have pretty same physiology. When I was 18 i did labiaplasty. Unfortunately it was a bad experience because doctors were not professional enough (which i did not know at that time). Basically they just cut off my "lips" completely. So now it looks like one side is bigger and the other one is smaller (and by saying smaller i mean that there is nothing at all). However they did not touch the clitoral hood at all saying that the skin around clitoris protects it... Well, we all know that it does, but not with that amount of skin, right? So 7 years later I decided to make specifically a clitoral hood reduction. I went to the doctor and showed precisely what i want to be removed. For some reason he would always show less skin removal as i wanted but i decided to trust him and go ahead with the surgery. Well yeah.... He at the end he did not remove as much as i wanted...
So today is 9th day since my surgery. Everything is still swollen big time. As soon as I started to walk (6/7th day) I am having some bleeding. The left side looks much bigger than the right side so at the moment the appearance is quite disappointing. I really hope it will calm down and subside. My doctor told me that if it remains the same I am free to come back for revision (but 3rd surgery, really?!?). I do not understand why he did not cut the left side as much as the right one... Because it is obvious.
So right now I have no choice but wait.
Reading your post helped a lot because we have similar healing process and as i said the appearance is pretty much the same.
In my opinion your clitoral hood from the front looks perfect. And generally its all great!
Thank you so much for your post and updates (i know what you mean when you say you feel weird and ashamed), however that definitely gives a support to the ladies like me.
Stay healthy!

Bluesky101...do you have any discomfort? I'm 5 months out and don't have any numbness but still have sensitive areas.

I do have discomfort, it's like having a rock in your shoe you can't do anything about and it's hard to describe. It's more of an annoying feeling up top and numbness below. What method did you have? My doc didn't give me options and he cut off more than he said he was going too! My labia is non-existent now! Very disappointed and depressed.

Have you expressed your concerns to your dr.? I had the wedge. Initially I was fine. I started experiencing aching/discomfort after three weeks post op. Some days I'm fine and others I'm bothered down there.
Thank you for sharing your final results, looks great.
