I think my stitches coming out (meaning ripping out not dissolving) early has now proven to be disastrous. No picture for today. I must've not realized how swollen I was. Yesterday and today I've bern itching soooooo badly! But also hurting a bit. It looks gross now. I think it's not healing properly. I have a post op appt Tues of next week and am patiently waiting to see what my dr says. And to see what he says about that one spot that I just cannot stand the look of ... Maybe will post a pic later :-/

Can you do a fully healed pic please! I'm trying to decide if I should use this PS or drive all the way to GA for the surgery. Thanks

Hi! Do you have any updated photos from after the sweeping and bruising went down? Did they address the red area? I am in the Birmingham area and have been considering Hedden, wondering if you’re happy with the results since it’s been a few years?

Here are updated pics. Even though stitches have been coming out & I've had some slight bleeding I still think overall it looks good, with the exception of the spot that looks like a weird growth. Will have to get that addressed at next po appt!! I'm just going to keep it clean and dry and put an ointment on! Think that's all I can really do for now!

Your results do look good. It does take time for the swelling to subside, and everyone is different. Did you have the trim or wedge method done?  I actually had the trim method years ago, and overall I am happy, but like you I have what feels like a skin tag left behind in the exact same spot. I just left it. So your husband has no idea that  you had the labiaplasty right...I am so curious to know what his reaction will be. Look forward to your update!

He has no clue! He knew I was self conscious of my private areas but he always reassured me and said he thought I was beautiful . But I did this for myself and he is the most patient and respectful man I've ever known and I told him that after BA it was gonna be a while before things were normal & before I felt sexy or normal enough for sex. I too can't wait for my final reveal to him! :)

I am excited for you and can't wait to hear how it goes! It's wonderful to hear how supportive and kind your husband is :) Did you have the trim or wedge method? How are you feeling today?

I think it was just trim method.... I just told my dr I wanted those "lips" gone and he said he could handle it!

A little worried

I don't have pics to post but like I said before, my stitches have been coming out. Today I went shopping - first time for lots of walking since my procedure. When I got home I noticed blood in my panties so took out a mirror to take a peek. It seems as if the places where stitches have come out are separated a bit and are bleeding slightly. I'm not infected and it's not terrible bleeding but I worry about how it'll look if it heals with a little space between. Plan to call my PS office tomorrow to see if there's anything I need to do. Also the spot I referred to in my first post is still there and I can't stand it!! In addition, I had a BA done at same time and my surgical tape came off my sutures tonight (10 days po) so I'm now also worried that my incisions there are going to get screwed up. However the incision sites were so clean you could already barely notice them! Will bring that up when I call PS tomorrow too. I was hoping to keep those tapes on until my three week post op appt on Jan 20!
