Am I Recovering Ok? - Quebec, QC

I might get a trim method for my revision will you post an updated photo!!

Did you go to a plastic surgeon or gyn, who did your surgery because that is not what it looks like when they do it in the states. They take out a triangle shape so it is a small scar that you can't even see, not the whole length, and no surgeon I've ever heard tells you to sit in water, that is a big risk for infection. I'm glad that you are feeling better about it now. If you want more off tho, I would look at other surgeons' results and ask how they perform the surgery.

hello,how much was the procedure?

Hi baby girl! I totally feel you. I'm going through the SAME exact thing :( Did you ever go back to get it redone or has it gotten better over time? What does your boyfriend say now...or has he even noticed? lol

Trim surgery is horrible. It is all technique. I hope you can get fixed.

hey babygirl, are you feeling any better about the surgery? The two sides look like they've evened out pretty good. The edges are a bit lumpy like mine were. My bumps went down significantly at about week 5. How is the wetness? did it go away with the swelling? Hope you are feeling better...

Hey, how are things going with you? have you gone back to the doctor yet? are you healed?

Babygirl, I keep checking for an update on your healing. Sure wish you'd post. I am so grateful that you posted in this forum because it made me realize about the clitoral hood issue and I was able to discuss it with my ps. He totally understood and said that he checks that out after the reduction and will reduce the hood as well to match the lips. Right now I'm at day 3 and I had the wedge method done and infiltration of fat put in my labia majora, so the swelling is crazy big and I can't even see my lips to see stitches or anything. LOL. But this forum has been so helpful to me in realizing that it's gonna look a wreck for a while. Realistic expectations help with the healing phase so much. I have almost no pain already, so I'm one of the lucky ones. I had trunk lipo and a breast lift at the same time and the lipo has been the most painful for me so far. Glad for my percocets although I don't need them much anymore. :) Hope you are doing better and would love to see some pics.

Can you please update me on your condition? I'm planning on doing this procedure in a couple weeks!

Hi- in response to most recent post about recovery. Although my doctor told me I would probably be back to work in a couple of days and ready for sex in four weeks, I was in a great deal of pain for many weeks. I could not even wear pants for over a month- very painful and itchy. Sex at four weeks? I was still on the couch! When i called the nurse in regard to my recovery, she stated the frankenstein look, pain, swelling and itch were all normal. Some women just heal slower than others- I think the way you feel at around 9 days is probably more common! In regard to some of the other posts. I would like to know how your dr reacted to your dissatisfaction with the procedure. I knew immediately my labiaplasty was botched. When i went for my post op- I didn't even have to say anything- he volunteered to do another surgery immediately free of charge. I guess that is the only thing he could do at that point, but I will not be seeing him again. The procedure he performed was so far removed from anything we discussed- i dont trust him. The bad news is that I have consulted another dr and he stated I should wait five months to try to correct the procedure! I have also read here that some wait only three months- anyone who has had the reconstructive surgery - how long did you wait? I am afraid at my age (47) I may not ever have a satisfactory result- anyone around this age? Thanks

I def want an update in about 2 months... By than it should hopefully be completely recovered. Two weeks just isn't enough time sister. It took me almost 6 weeks to heal after childbirth. I made the choice not to look at it for a month because I didn't want the image of my blown out va-jj in my mind forever. I know it's probably hard for you to do, but try not to look to much at it.

It's only been 2 weeks, so you are most likely swollen more on that side, I was lucky when I had mine, not to much swelling and hardly any itching. I had mine 2 weeks ago. Did you get yours done by a gyno or plastic surgeon?? I was also told the 'caterpillar bump' from stitches may take as long as 6 months to go down. Keep in mind that the surgeons and gynos are not magicians and he/she would have done your labiaplasty at the best of their ability. Posts on forums like this cab potentially ruin careers and lose a lot if business. I will post some of my pics soon on mu review. [RS bleep]
