I am extremely happy with my results so far. There is only one part of the incision area that hasn't completely closed and it's below the entrance to the vagina. It's very painless and looks great, and the other swelling that hasn't gone away is around the incisions that haven't closed yet. I had sex not long ago and the area had minor swelling afterwards but no pain.

Incision Problems
AmyChantelleJune 25, 2016
So far everything has been going very well and I rarely feel discomfort and pain. There is still obvious swelling but it continues to decrease. About 1 week ago I noticed two places on the lower left side where the incision opened up and wouldn't close again. I saw my surgeon right away and he said to just keep it really clean, always spray water when I pee and keep a light coating of polysporin on the area. He also gave me a second set of antibiotics to prevent infection. I was reassured that it will close on its own I just have to be clean and gentle with it.

Great to hear! Now that you are well into your recovery, what’s the #1 piece of advice you would give to someone considering this procedure?
June 25, 2016
My number one piece of advice: Don't get this procedure done in a busy time of your life. It is very difficult to do anything other than lie down for the first week and it's very sensititive for a long time after that. If you are busy/playing sports/working full time then it's probably not a good time to get the procedure done. It is extremely mobility restricting in the first 10 days.

Good tip, I completely agree that planning enough time to rest after this procedure is key. Thanks for sharing.

2 Weeks from Surgery Date

My stitches are starting to fall out and the swelling it still going down. I can walk normally and sit down now but I can't sit down for very long without discomfort. My surgeon told me to put polysporin on my stitches and incisions because the area can become infected so easily. I'm eating lots of yogurt because I don't want to risk a yeast infection. Still a long ways to go until final results, but I'm happy so far!

Thank you so much for sharing! I just left my family doctor and he has told me to look for someone I feel comfortable with to get a referral. He said it is not a common procedure in Alberta, and I am worried I won't find someone that has done a lot of these surgeries. Did you have a consult with any other doctors? Are you happy with results so far?

It actually is a pretty common procedure in Alberta, I only had a consult with Dr Lee but there were two other surgeons I was considering at first. I researched all three extensively and talked to all 3 clinics on the phone - the best vibe I got was from Dr Lee so I chose him. I also used RealSelf to book my consult with him and I got the consult for free as a result which was nice. I am very happy with my results so far, everything is going according to plan!
