Hi team,
It has been a long time since I posted an update. I had my labiaplasy in March and it is now October so it's been awhile. The last time I posted was around the 5 or 6 week post op.
I'm not sure if this info helps anyone but I know some people are interested in knowing how long to wait before having sex after the procedure. I will say I had sex at 8 weeks for the first time and all was good! No pain and no swelling afterwards so that was a success.
My procedure has been on my mind a lot lately because I have revisions booked for the 22nd of October which is right around the corner! My doctor and I made this appointment back in May around 8 weeks. He was willing to do revisions then but myself I wanted to continue to heal more and I had some summer vacation plans I was looking forward to and did not want to be uncomfortable on these trips. But now that October has come I am not sure I want any more work done. Do I think I got the "Hollywood Vagina" I was imagining? no. But I am at a place in my life right now where I don't think having more work done is something I want. I am busy will school and its hard/ impossible to get time off. And the healing process really was extensive. But then a part of me thinks I should get my money's worth and go back and get what I envisioned. I am torn and really only have a week to make up my mind!
Has an else had any experience with going back for touch ups or wishing they would or wouldn't have? Just wondering!
Below are some pictures of everything healed up. I feel like I would have liked things to be a little shorter but my doctor was very hesitant about taking off too much length. I see some of the pictures on here and the Labias look very short and I do really like that look. But maybe it's time I just started excepting me for me.

How do you feel about this procedure now? Are you still happy?

Hey I was the one that wrote this review! I actually got locked out of my original account so I created a new one for different procedures I’ve had.
I never did end up having a revision and I am okay with that! I often forget that I even had this done to be honest. I am still very happy with the results now that it’s all said and done. Getting this done have me just better confidence going forward in my love life. So I would say yes it was worth it.
Unfortunately I do not have before pictures. Only in my mind. But in my case my labia’s were very uneven. The left one hung quite low in my opinion.

5 week mark... I think?
I think today would mark 5 weeks since I got my surgery! Not much is different since I last posted. I definitely think things are still healing but my life is pretty much back to normal. I go to the gym including a spin class.
Trying to think what I can say that wont just be repeating myself... I have to say things feel pretty good except the top right. In previous posts I refer to these "bumps". Still not really sure what they are like are they part of my labia or clit area or what? Why is it this confusing? Anyways. The bump on the left seems to have decreased in swelling and kind of hinds under whats left of my labia on that side and all is great. But on the right side I am not sure if it's because things are uneven or just a little too much was taken off from that side but this "bump" seems to be persistent and kind of just remains the same. It wouldn't really bother me except this bump is pretty sensitive to touch and if my clothing rubs on it it's down right uncomfortable. But wearing underwear kind of protects it enough most times and all is good. But it is something I will be discussing with my doctor in a couple weeks when I finally see him again...
As for the appearance I mean I still don't think its the "[RS bleep] star" vagina I was envisioning but honestly I am a lot happier with it than I was with what I had going on before! I will get those before pictures from my doctor in a couple weeks and then you all can see! Ha
Also finally got a wax! It was great, the girl I go to sees a lot of Vagina's so no she didn't specifically remember what I looked like before she just said she never would have known I had gotten something done. She might have just been saying that because to me there is still a lot of scaring and healing left to happen but kind words non the less. And was pain free so thats a plus.
Off to Mexico tomorrow! Will update when I get back!

I seen some other girls have "bumps" like that on here that are sensitive. Gentle massages with coconut oil on the sensitive area daily is supposed to help with that

OH also...
ALSO. So as I mentioned I don't feel like my vagina looks like a hollywood vagina. Which whatever. But I just want to mention my doctor did tell me my Labia majora's are literally nonexistent. He said that might have something to do with me being rather small (5'2, 110lbs) so when I said I didn't want anything showing past my majora's he said it might not be possible and we could possibly run into an amputation situation and didn't want to risk my functional female anatomy. So I did know going in that my expectations might not be met completely. As of right now when I stand up only a little bit of the hood area protrudes past the majora's which is a large improvement from before! My doctor took before pics of me so I will try and get ahold of those and put them up sometime!

It's very honorable that your doctor was straight with you on what he could accomplish with your anatomy, rather than botching you with an amputation. I think you have a very good and natural looking result, and it will only get better with time :) I had my surgery in February and Im still healing and seeing changes
Overall, I am happy with where I am now. In my mind, am I "perfect"? No. I have two lumps inside the vagina that were not there before the surgery. They don't effect me physically by interfering with using tampons, sex, etc. and they do not hurt. But, they are kind of odd. I feel like I have a lot of folds down below now when I open myself up. I don't have just two beautiful smooth lips. I'm more "lippy" when opened up with extra flower petals than many others here. I discussed the lumps with my surgeon and he said it would be an easy fix and I'd only need to take a few days off to correct. Initially I wanted to have them removed. Then I really started to think about it. I thought about using the numbing cream again, the local anesthesia shots (which caused my heart to race a bit and my arms felt weird), being in the damn stirrups again and of course the recovery. Did I really want to go through that again? And alone? I went through my first surgery alone. I've read so much about revisions and have seen many times where the docs say just leave well enough alone. Revisions can many times cause more problems and leave you worse off. I too had the same thoughts as you - I paid a lot of money for this surgery and should get my money's worth! I was sure I have a revision. But, for whatever reason, over time I started to change my mind. I don't know if one specific thing changed my mind, but I know shaving completely did help me feel better. And I was someone who was critical of women who got rid of all their pubic hair! But it just somehow made me feel more womanly. More in charge. Slowly, over time, I was learning to accept my new self. I think I was so focused on the physical side of surgery I didn't think so much about accepting what I would look AND feel like after. It was always more about getting rid of what I had. And as I contemplated revision, I started to think about one of the big reasons of why I wanted/needed to surgery. I had physical discomfort and oftentimes pain because of my big labia. Do I have that now? NO!!! I can sit down or exercise without a second thought to what's happening in my panties. That never happened before surgery. I feel like it is as it always should've been. I've thought about revision, but then I wonder if I try to fix these little issues that I could wind up with chronic nerve pain, painful scars or reduced sensation during sex? I was willing to take these risks before labiaplasty and came out with no major issues. So it does scare me a bit to try and correct the small imperfections and that I could wind up with real issues. So, it's taken me awhile to realize that I did get my money's worth. I reduced my labia and I do feel much more confident in how I look and feel. I'm not perfect, but I'm me.
All that being said, it sounds like you are really unsure of what you want to do. I'm not saying you should or should not have a revision. I think you should allow yourself some more time to see how you really feel. Give yourself some more time to see how you really feel. I was sure I would have a revision but then that did change. You may or may not change your mind, but at least allow yourself some time. I'm not against revision and don't judge others who would have it. Who the heck knows, I haven't ruled it out 100% for myself. I just know that's not where I am now. I hope you do whatever you think is best for you. Keep us updated. Sorry this is long, I know I tend to talk (write) a lot!
