WORTH IT$2,000
Well today marks 6 weeks that I've had my surgery. Yay! Finally actually feel about 80% better. Still have random discomfort here and there but almost all of the stitches are gone ! There was one sticking out this morning and I just touched it a little and it fell right out. I took a picture today and to be honest I'm not really loving how it looks. In comparison to before- yes so much better. It just doesn't look like I want it to. I don't know. Stitches are out and I'm still not happy. The right side is still noticeably bigger then the other..is it possible the dr really did an uneven job? A part of the labia towards the bottom also looks like it's split kind of...what the hell? And all in all its just bumpy looking. Some things I am reading say on about 3-6months it will get better. Seriously? I'm sad, maybe I was seeking perfection and had unrealistic expectations.

That's good to hear!
Give yourself more time to heal, according to Doctor Michael P. Goodman "Labiaplasty is a PROCESS... First week awful swelling, discoloration. 2nd-4th week still irregular, hard, slowly getting recognizable. 1 month mostly fully together, able to do all activities, but still not "smooth," somewhat bumpy, a little irregular, perhaps a tiny bit of swelling."

Nothing new going on. Still have all my stitches, approaching 6 weeks, and I want to have sex so bad. Thinking of making an appointment for my next hair removal session next week. This should be fun explaining to technician lol Still having random itching in certain areas...maybe my doctor will remove the stitches at my 6 week appointment? I cant decide if I want to go through that pain or just wait even longer for them to "dissolve"

In still kinda sore and I'm 5 weeks! Just sensitive! Do U wear tampons yet?? I wanna have sex so badly too but I'm just afraid I still know I'm healing and wat not I have no stitches that I can see anymore!

Hi chance133, Dr.Jerome Edelstein says to wait "six to eight weeks" before using a tampon. [Read more] ☺

I wore tampons for the last cycle I had. I was about 4 weeks post op when it came. I thought about using pads just because I was scared to insert a tampon but this was the time i was having so much sensitivity and itching down there and the thought of a pad and all of that mess on it. No thank you. Tampon didn't hurt at all or bother me. I want to have sex too! I know I can't because of my stitches. I dont think the actual insertion would hurt but the rubbing/friction would most likely irritate us on the outside know what I mean?

I have been using a tampon now and it doesn't bother me just very careful when I put it in and take it out cuz I'm still a lil sensitive but not too bad! I'm glad I can now I hate pads!! But yes I know what you mean about sex that's why I'm scared of the tugging and stuff ahh and still a lil swelling on my right side. I can't wait tho to post about being able to finally have sex again! Hope ur stitches fall out soon

Well last night my clit area was super sensitive to touch and now tonight I've noticed this sore....what in the world. Its the weekend so if i call my doctors office I'll be calling the emergency line and I know this is not an emergency. It's irritating with my panties and I'm about ready to scream bc if its not one thing its another. I started my period 2 days ago- maybe its related??? I don't knoe what to do.

Could be a stitch stuck that wants to come out or something?? Any better today?

Oh wait, just noticed this comment - so it went away? Did you mention it to your doctor?

I just experienced something like this on the right side that is a lil swollen still I was really itchy n now I notice something! Hopefully it goes down quickly like urs did
November 11, 2015
Yes it went away that next morning. I don't know what the issue was maybe it was a stitch being irritated and im thinking thr friction of me walking around that night rubbed it out?? No I didn't consult with my doctor. I see him in a week.

Do you still have stitches in that area? It was so sore to the touch but it went away really quick. I was applying some damp gauze to it and kept it on for some relief while I worked, that mightve helped soften it up and made it go away.

I think I did have a lil stitch n then almos looked like a zit i tried seeing if something would come out but it hurts. I'll wait n see what it's like tomorrow
