30yr Old Labiaplasty , Hood reduction /trim method

I’m far off from recovery now and while I had several issues during healing , I would do it again ! Almost my whole labia split open and while in the moment it’s almost impossible to see the end result being great after that and healing without intervention, let me just tell you ..... it does . The nurses at this practice are so phenomenal, never once did they make me feel crazy for asking questions and being worried about how things looked and felt . It was a relief because while they see the issues all the time , this is the first time as a patient we have been through Labiaplasty ! At one point I absolutely questioned why I did this to myself , you might too ! But I’m 100% glad I did , I could go on and on I really could , but Dr Rodgers is amazing and so are all her staff . Let the results speak for themself ...........

I don’t want to jinx anything but healing seems to be getting better ! It’s still very sore with walking and gets irritated , as swelling goes down this will get better and better ! I have some poking out stitches but everything seems to be closin great . Again I’m going to be cautiously optimistic lol

So as far as healing I feel like everything is super slow moving I have another post op to check the progress of healing where the left side of the labia split the stitch on Wednesday . It appears to be healing but I’ll go to the bathroom and still dabbing and spray it with dermoplast and take a look with my Mirror and it looks bad again . Idk if it’s caused but the wetness of the urine continually getting onto the open part that hinders the process or what . The right side still looks effing crazy , tbh at this point I don’t know if I would’ve did this had I known the healing was this slow and annoying . I mean it definitely is smaller but I’m also seeing things that are bothering emensly ! The right side looks completely agitated and I’m still doing nothing , I feel like the swelling has not improve whatsoever , I understand it’s still early but I would assume that should be going don’t a little bit ? These are just my honest feelings in this moment . I also haven’t been able to do any exercise or anything active which I did on the daily for stress relief . I don’t know if anyone else shared your surgery information with anyone , but in my life no one knows what this actual surgery was for . I didn’t want to explain or give any intimate details or show why I wanted it of people had known ...... so all around the last week have just been crap . There is more than one place I have holes so visually I just am so irritated , there’s been more pinching as well and at 13 days I have no clue why stitches are JUST now deciding to come out .... FML!!! Seriously . I won’t be posting pictures until it doesn’t look so bad , it’s just too discouraging at this point
