Please ignore that picture, the site isn't letting me delete that one for some reason, but that's actually from the previous week. I got confused because I'm wearing the same socks haha :)

Confession: I have not looked at my vulva since the last post I made. I finally got my period, and that sucked, but I think all the blood rushing to the tissues in that area helped the healing along somewhat. I was beginning to think I might end up unhappy, but I think it looks good and I was pleasantly surprised. I know I still have a few months to go before "final" results, I'm such a sloooow healer but it's all been worth it so far.

I had sex!! I had sex!!!!
A few times actually. First time was really tight and relatively painful, at the end once I was super turned on it wasn't painful anymore. It's definitely tighter, the next few times having sex was easier. 2 fingers hurts (both my husband and I have slim fingers) but can get in if I'm really turned on. I keep doing kegels because I want to take good care of the whole area and ensure long lasting results as much as I can. I'm hoping 3 months down the line it doesn't start to relax again like I've read from other people. I imagine if someone is very stretched out the surgical results might not be magical. The doctor and nurses said despite my rectocele herniation, I still wasn't "loose" at all or what they would consider to be relaxed. That the only reason for the surgery was to repair the rectocele but the doctor would of course make sure it was "back to how I was used to it." The nurses didn't seem to want me to get the surgery, but he chimed in saying that for me (naturally very thin and small framed) it was probably a big difference after childbirth from what I was used to. And it was. I'm glad that I got this surgery personally, but from the research I've done I can honestly say I don't think I would recommend it to women with significant "loosening." That's just my personal opinion because all (or most) of the reviews/stories I have read from women very loose (4 fingers or more) said they were unhappy with the results of the surgery. And it isn't like a labiaplasty where you can keep taking more off in the future if you want, most doctors don't really do "revisions" on vaginal tightening and seem averse to doing the procedure more than once. Hopefully more people can chime in on their results, I'd love to hear from anyone who is a few years out from the surgery and still happy with it.


If the doctor wasn't so kind and generous as to give me the labiaplasty for free, I'm not positive it would have been worth the money for just the tightening alone. UNLESS it stays how it is right now for years, then it is absolutely worth it to me. I'm just operating under the assumption that some additional relaxing of the muscles may occur (as it does to many women, not all, who get this done.)


HOW IS EVERYBODY!? Anyone had surgery recently or in recovery? I love hearing how you are all doing. I hope these pictures help someone. I have tried to continue updating with many, many pictures of the process. I hope it's not annoying, I just know I was looking for reviews with plenty of pictures of the healing process. I don't dig the "one before" "one after" style because it's just not as real to me. Thanks everyone for reading

No pain, not much sensitivity. Vaginoplasty surgery is completely healed with no pain. It is incredibly tight, even at 6 weeks when it was supposed to relax a little. I can fit my pointer finger in there (size 4, tiny fingers) and it is a tight squeeze. I'm so nervous for sex! The labia was definitely more finicky. All the stitches are finally gone. It looks pretty good, a little bumpy for my tastes. But I'm trying to be patient.

And also, I wasn't like most girls here. I didn't have large, protruding labia. I always had small neat labia, I just had scar tissue and some tearing on one side that didn't look nice to me anymore. So my doctor had to work with all that and try to repair. I am really happy so far.
