After already having gone through the amazing life-changing experience of having Dr. Aguirre do extensive internal repairs (I had advanced rectocele, and uterine prolapse and thus had a vaginaplasty during that surgery), I now have a labiaplasty scheduled for Thursday!! Cannot believe it! They had a last minute opening for a procedure and I am going for it! I went to my pre-op yesterday with Brandy, Dr. Aguire and Jackie. (On a side note, I could not stop staring at Brandy-Dr. Aguirre's aesthetic nurse- during pre-op..She is my age and looks 28, so people, go to HER for skin and dermal asthetic stuff... She is stunning, and can work magic!)
And good Lord..between Brandy, Andrea, Wendy and Jackie, it's like Charlie's Angels (plus one) there. Lol. All are gorgeous and look cast out of a TV show.;-)
Dr. Aguirre was as charming and handsome as he is professional and easy going, as usual. For the second time, I was shocked by how he is able to minimize the mortification factor of having measurements and pics (of my giant labia and hood) taken.
Truly, he has the best "bedside manner" a surgeon could possibly have, especially when dealing with such a touchy set of body parts and issues. Between Brandy, Dr. Aguirre and Jackie, they all made me feel absolutely comfortable and (key word), SAFE... both talking about my issues and exposing myself physically. This is SO rare. That alone (of course, in combination with his craft), is worth using Dr. Aguirre for ANY vaginal rejuvenation surgeries.
Anyway, I am super excited for Dr. Aguirre to work his magic on my "outsides". I am tired of having soreness and swelling after long days at work with my long and large labia rubbing against everything. I am equally excited to not have to move them out of the way for comfortable sex...(or, in pleasuring myself, not having to move skin aside to find my best spots.;-). We also decided that, during the procedure (which is in-office), he will give me the "O-Shot" and remove a couple minor skin tags.
He literally changed my life with my first surgery with him. He not only has me feeling young again (and I AM young and have a lot of years of sexual experiences in front of me so to have felt otherwise for so long was crushing); he also brought my vagina back to it's pre-baby size and shape. Sex is a whole different experience! Almost like being a virgin again. Having said that, it has been weird since the prior surgery to feel 20 everywhere else and then still have the labia and hood of an 80 year old. Additionally, the discomfort this causes is not fun (and a daily issue.)
Since the first time I consulted with him, I have been beyond excited to have this amazing talent be the one to do work on such an important part of my body. Now he will complete what he started in the best way I can imagine! :-)
To illustrate how superb Dr. Aguirre's technique is, when I learned last minute that they were fitting me in, I quickly googled "labiaplasty pictures". When I looked at the thumbnails on my phone, I scrolled through all of them, then picked one that was a combo of what I thought looked most like me in the "before" and then also had the prettiest "after." To my utter astonishment, when I tapped it, I opened up the full Realself link and in reading the review, scrolled down to find out that HE was the surgeon! In this entire country, I happened to pick the work of MY surgeon!
Also, for girls who are considering this procedure but are not in Colorado: I learned yesterday that Dr. Aguirre gives a travel credit! So...whatever people spend on plane tickets, for instance, he will discount that (or a portion of it) from the surgery, if one has to travel to use his expertise! I thought that was awesome. I don't need it (because I am here), but for anyone looking for the BEST surgeon to touch your body (irrespective of distance), in a way that will literally alter your entire life, that is worth considering!
(Now I can recommend him to my out-of-town friends who have shared the same issues with me!)
I only have two befores, but apologies in advance for how scary they are.;-) The one he took makes me cringe. (It also illustrates why this is so darn uncomfortable.)
Will update after tomorrow!

Imagine how this mess gets in the way of..err..everything. thank GOD i am able to do this for myself. So grateful to my doc and his amazing team.

Such an amazing experience. John Mayer and Ray piped in, Dr. Aguirre is explaining everything he does as he goes. He took an hour on my hood alone! Brandy massages your legs lightly when you feel random pinches. Dr. Aguirre is a delight.
He is such a perfectionist that he has taken a couple hours at this point. I am totally lucid and their rapport and sweetness in explaining what they are doing is incredible.
Here he is!:-)

The O-Shot in Denver, CO uses Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) which is extracted from the patient’s own blood and injected into the clitoris and the anterior vaginal wall, proximal to the G-spot. The O-Shot adds volume to the treated area, in turn increasing sensation and sensitivity. Injections are quick and little pain, if any, is experienced due to the area being numbed prior to the injections.
After a few weeks, the stems cells and tissues in the injected areas grow and regenerate, causing an increase in blood flow and tissue rejuvenation in the clitoris and vaginal walls.
PRP treatments have proven to be effective in creating a fuller, younger-looking appearance in other areas of the body such as the face. As PRP for facial rejuvenation (also known as the Vampire Facelift®) became increasingly popular, it expanded into other, more intimate areas – creating The O-Shot.
The Denver O-Shot is for women of all ages who suffer from dull vaginal sensation, vaginal looseness due to age or childbirth, women who have never had an orgasm and women looking to improve sensation during sex. The O-Shot can also help with urinary incontinence and women suffering from common sexual disorders.
Because The O-Shot utilizes Platelet-Rich Plasma from a person’s own blood and is not a chemical or synthetic substance, it is completely safe.
The O-Shot at Aguirre Specialty Care helps:
Increase sexual desire, arousal and libido
Tighten the vaginal opening
Decrease painful intercourse
Create stronger and more frequent orgasms
Increase ability for vaginal orgasms
Increase vaginal lubrication
Decrease urinary incontinence
Women experiencing sexual disorders such as: Dyspareunia, Female Orgasmic Disorder, Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder and Female Sexual Arousal Disorder

Incredibly grateful to Dr. Aguirre, Jackie and Brandy. Unbelievable experience.
Laughter, casual amosphere, great msuic, amazing caretaking..

Thanking the angels for making this
happen so beautifully for me..
And thanking GOD for Dr. Aguirre and team for being so amazing!

Two days post...i thought I would have to refrain from Trick or Treating this evening, but I feel great! On Tylenol only and, after an initial first night of burning and stinging, felt NO pain and slept like a baby last night. Only discomfort is when I pee and forget I have to dab.:-) and when my labia rub against the pad.
Thats a minor annoyance, but not painful at ALL! So far, everything about this experience has been as good as it could possibly be!

It definitely is harder to baby it when you ar sitting at a desk all day.
Monday thru Wednesday ate days 4 thru 6..and ironically the sweeling is worse than 1thru 3rd day because if the work factor.
I would HIGHLY recommend taking a whole week off of you can.

Just got my sutures out !! What a relief! I had been prepared for it to be incredibly painful based on some reviews on here, but Brandy (his nurse) has as expert a touch as he does. I literally only FELT EVEN TWO OF THEM. And those were only momentary pinches. She is amazing!
The minute I put my clothes back on, it felt totally different. No more unconfortable rubbing!! She also.showed me what I look like which tickled me. It's getting prettier and prettier.
I am following the dictate to not over-look at her too much. Lol. So haven't seen it much in the last few days.

I had my 6 week check up on Thursday. Got the go ahead to "play".
I had gotten the O-Shot (in my clitoris and G spot) during my labiaplasty as it promotes healing and sensitivity.
Let's just say that I have NEVER had the G-spot sensitivity I have right now..in my entire life... (even before babies and pelvic floor fallout.)
Have always mainly achieved orgasms thru clitoral stimulation (I'd say about 85%).
It is now EASY TO achieve them vaginally. Haha!!
I feel like a kid in a candy shop!!
Thank you Dr. AGUIRRE. Good lord. I joked that there's a possibility God actually might be a woman, because who else would placed someone on earth to give us perfect vaginas?
Lol

All in all, feeling okay. Still get intermittent swelling and pressure down there after 7 months. Dr. Aguirre is going to do a very minor revision on my right labia minora as there is assymetry, but it's still so much better than before. And am happy to report the O shot now has never getting G-spot sensation and vaginal orgasms for the first time ever!
