Is my goal semi realistic ? I'm not expecting to look identical by any means but I would like a much thinner smaller clitoral hood and labia... They look wrinkly and im 21, with no kids and only have had 2 sexual partners in my life. What is the recovery like? I would like to do it the same time as a Breasy augmwntation. Will one week be enough to go back to work?
