Trim Labiaplasty - Labia Minora Reduction

It's been just over two years and the scar pain is finally diminished. One of the scars still hurts when I get my period. But for the most part the pain is gone. So for those of you who suffer from scar pain after this surgery, hang in there. However, my 'revision' still looks like crap. Really bad scarring and very lumpy. Very asymmetrical.
For those of you who insist on having this surgery, remember to choose a PLASTIC SURGEON who SPECIALIZES in labiaplasty (Such as Dr. Gary Alter or Dr. Red Alinsod). Do not choose a 'jack of all trades' surgeon who does labiaplasty once in a while, among countless other surgeries.
If you want the wedge method, Dr. Alter is great at it. If you want the trim method, Dr. Alinsod is very skilled. Traveling a distance to get it done right the first time is worth it. Paying a little more to have it done properly the first time is also worth it.
Anyways, good luck to anyone who is looking into this surgery. And please learn from my mistakes so that you don't have to go through the same horrible stuff I did.

For anyone considering this type of surgery or anyone feeling self conscious about the way they look, you might want to first watch the video on YouTube called 'The Vagina in the Media'. It talks about how soft [RS bleep] magazines and websites sensor what women's vaginas actually look like by photoshopping out the labia minora and clitoral hood that may show, and change it so that all it looks like is the crack with the labia majora.

The [RS bleep] industry is very misleading for both men and women regarding the truth about the diversity of how vaginas look, and how common it really is to have labia minora or clitoral hood showing past the vulva crack. It's a very enlightening video on this subject.

It has now been just over a year since my so called 'revision' labiaplasty surgery. All of the areas that the surgeon cut and stitched are still lumpy. He reassured me they would all go down and be 'totally smooth' after healing. But they are definitely not totally smooth. They are less swollen obviously, but there are still bumps. It just goes to show that if you have a lumpy stitch site right after your surgery, you most likely will have that permanently to some degree.

I think the lumpiness is caused by three things. 1) The surgeon doesn't cut smooth lines, 2) the surgeon stitches the area too tight, or just doesn't do a nice stitch job, and 3) In some cases dissolvable stitches don't fully dissolve.

Also my top left scar underneath the clitoris on the left side is pretty sore today. Just feels like burning. And it seems a little swollen. It gets like that sometimes and I'm not sure why.

Also, two days ago I had a really firm, sore, squishy cyst-like thing underneath my lower scar on the right side. It was directly under the scar and was pushing on it from underneath and made it hurt really bad. I think that was caused by intercourse the day before. Intercourse irritates the scars.

Anyways, its still sucks having these scars. But they are still getting better everyday, I think.. I hope. I still plan to go get the lumps around the scars shaved off eventually so it looks smooth. Planning to go see Dr. Gary Alter about that, even though he is 8 hours away from me.. there is just no other labiaplasty revision surgeon around here that I have confidence in. Pretty sure the lumps can just be cauterize off so there is no bleeding. I definitely do not ever want to be cut and stitched ever again.

Thank you to everyone who has commented and given insight and support.
