I have kept the idea of labiaplasty in the back of my mind for several years. Comfort was a big issue. I always felt like I had to "adjust" myself in my skinny jeans. I was hoping to improve my appearance as well. I filled out a request for info on my surgeons website, and was scheduled for a consultation within a week. I decided to set the date for surgery a month later. I began the antibiotic a day before. The day of surgery I arrived a little early. The office was about an hr away from me. I was directed to take pain medication and Xanax during this h. I was also given numbing cream upon arrival, but I don't really think it was enough. The numbing shots were the worst even with the cream. I don't think the procedure itself was even 20 minutes and I had a lot of pain. I was still being numbed as the surgeon went. Even the stitching hurt. I did get dressed and walk out just fine. The first 24 were the worst as expected. I held of looking for as long as possible as I knew it wouldn't be pretty. When I did look I felt mutilated and couldn't tell what was what. 4 days post op and I amstill a very dark purple and in a lot of pain and stinging. Nothing looks even right now and I'm extremely horrified!

Hello ! You shouldnt worry at all! From what i see it looks amazing and it is normal to be swollen for at least 6 weeks! My first 5 days were horrible and then by the 6th it started to get better ! And yours is really well done i think youre going to have kind of the barbie look wich i think is really cute! Dont worry and just be patient i promise the swelling will go down. Also when you have to walk a lot and it gets more swollen because of it put some ice on it!! Wish u the best luck:) xox

Thank tou for your reply, and making me feel a little at ease. I'm probably beating up on myself a little more than I should! I have stayed off my feet as much as possible and iced constantly. It does seem to help the stinging. If you look at the updated picture, my clitorios looks very misportioned in my opinion. That is my biggest concern. I have not been able to get a decent look at my labia minora.

Thats toooootally normal! My clit was enormous in the beginning too! And now after 9 days its smaller and smaller :) i had moments like you too where i was going crazy thinking my labia would never be normal again but i am telling you give it at least a month! In a month you will see whats going to look like the final result and its even going to change way more in the 2 months after! You are only at your day 4 and everything seems totally normal! Stay in bed and relax the best you can! Oh and another thing make sure you eat really well, you need all your vitamins A B C D and of course proteins calcium and all so make sa research to see what kind of food you like so you eat only healthy things because your body needs those vitamins to heal the wound!

I really appreciate your words of kindness! I wish I could speed up time and have a better idea of my results. I really thought I would have a better support system than I do. When I was in the most pain I asked my mother to stay with me and she responded by telling me she had her own life. So I turned to the site for a little encouragement!

Yes what i always thought about it is that theres absolutly NOBODY that can understand unless youre going trough it.. A person who dont have this problem will never understant the psychological pain of going trough it!! It is hard but know that there is many many many girls out there feeling the same!! Xoxo

5 Days-No improvement

I am still in a lot of pain, with plenty of swelling and bruising. Also bleeding here and there. I was very nervous of my recovery, and not to my surprise it's been horrid. The sight of my area makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry. I would not wish the way I look on anyone and I have no idea how this will ever turn into anything decently appealing. I do have the "dog ears" but I can't stand to even touch the outer portion. At this time I continue to second guess the procedure

Don't freak out all the bruising and swelling will go away! Just look forward to the outcome and not the healing process.

I do not believe I have had any changes what so ever appearance wise. And my lady bits still hurt so bad!! What have I done??? I emailed the surgeons office, still waiting to hear back. I return to school tomorrow. I terrified of the thought. I expected to be in a much more comfortable state than I am! However, I want to be able to get up and move around.
