I have been insecure with my vagina for as long as I can remember. I finally got the procedure done today and wanted to post my experience for others since this website was able to give me so much insight. First off, let me say that my doctor was absolutely amazing. The office, the staff, everything was great. I was given the prescriptions, pain medication and antibiotic, before to have filled so I could start the antibiotic the day before the procedure to prevent infection. I went in and the procedure went by very smoothly. The worst part was numbing the area but it was manageable. However, once the procedure was over and the numbing wore off, the pain was unbearable. I couldn’t even stand to be in the car due to the bumpy roads, we can blame that on the state though. I have since been home and have been suffering in bed. I had to urinate once, and it was pretty horrendous. My partner has been really supportive and I definitely suggest that you have someone to be with you if available. I’ve tried taking naps but the pain wakes me up. I’m really hoping the pain goes away, but I know it won’t be going anywhere just yet.

The pain slowly got better through the day of the surgery, thank you pain meds! I was able to sleep through the night and took many naps. When I woke up in the morning I felt a lot of soreness but it wasn’t unbearable. I’ve been keeping on schedule with my pain meds and antibiotics, I was hoping I wouldn’t need the pain meds but yesterday was a hard hit from reality. I am still having a hard time walking, I walk like a crab, but I think it’s because I have big thighs and if I was to try walking straight it would put pressure on the swelling. Again, I can’t emphasize how helpful my partner has been. From helping me get around to putting ointment on the area.

I’m still experiencing quit a bit of pain. It still seems pretty swollen and I feel like the stitches are poking my clitoris, which is incredibly uncomfortable as many can imagine. I’ve been avoiding wearing underwater and pants unless necessary. My right thigh has also become numb, probably because I haven’t been moving around much. I keep telling myself it will all be worth it in the end, which is already proving right since I don’t see or feel anything dangling down there any more.

So it has been a whole week now and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how things are coming along. The pain has been getting less and less noticeable. Yesterday I was sore because I had to run after my dog so I think I pulled something but nonetheless I’ve been keeping the area clean so everything is healing very nicely, in my opinion.

Hello everyone, so it’s been over 3 weeks since the surgery and everything has been healing so well. I’ve noticed that I’m a lot more confident and it hasn’t even been the full 6 weeks. As much as I love my new vagina, I’ve noticed some of the stitching may have caused the skin to heal in a way that’s kind of makes it visible that stitching was once there, but I probably have to wait a little longer to make a solid review. I had a follow up last week and my next follow up is in about a month and I’m excited to see what continued progress lies ahead.

Hello everyone. So it’s been about 8 months since my procedure and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my results. I’m a lot more confident about my lady parts and I just gained more confidence overall. There was a small piece of skin that seemed to heal with the stitch but I went back to my doctor and he was more than willing to go back and fix it to make sure I’m 100% happy. Today is the day I go back for the follow up procedure but I am more than happy with my current results and I’m so glad that I have a doctor that understands and is willing to do the extra work to make sure I have no doubts about my procedure and results. The second picture shows the little piece I plan on getting removed. It’s really not that big of a deal but it just bothered me personally.

So it’s been about 2 hours since the revision procedure was completed and I honestly forgot how painful it was. ???? The doctor and staff were great as always and I couldn’t be happier with them. I am however suffering because once again it feels like someone just took a knife and snipped my labia off. It’s not as bad as last time because it wasn’t nearly as much and that’s just what I keep telling myself now. I just took some pain medication so hopefully that kicks in soon.
