Labiaplasty: Trim Method, Laser with Clitoral Hood Reduction. Dallas, TX

I had very large labia since I can remember. I suffered from the typical discomfort when playing sports (huge problem being a collegiate athlete in volleyball) as well as embarrassment sexually. Married now, I still found the look and feel of my vagina to hold me back in so many ways. I literally spread eagle one day, looked at myself and said "nope, I want you gone". I scheduled the surgery the next day with a known plastic surgeon in Dallas who I have to say is the most amazing surgeon I have ever worked with, Dr. Brady. She made me feel at ease, and completely understood me. The staff is 100% professional and made the whole experience pleasant. I went under sedation and local, the procedure took 2 hours and the initial pain post op. was very little. I was asleep during the whole thing. Although more expensive than other places, going here was worth it. Writing this, I am 8 days post op and have little concern with how the "pieces" are coming together.

I spent majority of the day in a hotel room recovering until check out time. I live 2 hours from Dallas so we decided not to drive back the day of surgery being that I was still so highly sedated.

The first thing I noticed was how different it felt! The meat curtains were gone and I felt so feminine. The pain and bleeding was pretty mild as I kept the ice on and off every 20 minutes. I was given instructions to start the antibiotic this morning, twice a day for one week. I was also given lidocaine cream for itching or pain and an antibiotic cream to put on 4-5 times a day. Peeing was interesting. I did rinse every time but used the antibiotic 4x. The most painful is the area that is stitched from my clit hood to the labia as well as the back where my perineum is as she lasered this too. Bruising is less than I thought. Overall, not to shabby as I waddle like a duck.

Feeling like I have a mighty clit today! Slept okay and still icing every 20 min. The right side is HUGE compared to the left and throbs. Bleeding is pretty small. I haven't had to use more than a liner the whole time since surgery. Still chilling in bed, taking it easy at home and trying to compress a little to help with swelling.
