How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Moving on

Sorry I haven't been active on here lately. I've moved on with my life. I have a new boyfriend and he hasn't noticed I've had surgery. The appearance is good and there are no negative changes in sensation. My clitoris seems to sit in a flatter position which is probably better but it hasn't really made much of a difference positive or negative. I was thinking about trying fat transfer to the g spot which is advertised on Dr Gress' website. But that's sometime in the future.
Helpful things:
Dr Gress has another review here - https://www.realself.com/review/sofia-bulgaria-29-years-botched-labiaplasty-reconstruction
When I originally contacted his office their emails went to my spam folder. His staff are friendly but their English isn't the best. It was easier to communicate with them via email rather than by phone.
I stayed at an airbnb in Germany. I didn't tell the hosts what surgery I was having but it became obvious from the way I was walking afterwards so that was a bit embarrassing! You will want some privacy.
I didn't need a carer but it's helpful to have one. My airbnb hosts were helpful so you can offer a bit of money to someone to get some shopping for you. You can use food delivery apps etc.
Take an antihistamine for the itching so you can return to normality quicker. It may not work early when it is very intense but it worked very well when I started taking it after 3 weeks or so.
Yes I recommend Dr Gress he is a genuine person and I'm happy with the outcome. :)
I'll resist saying anything more about my original surgeon since this is a positive update but you can fill in the blanks.

I'm happy with the way things are looking. I'm almost healed now.

Revision photos with Dr Gress

Here are some more photos of my revision. It's looking better as time goes on. Regarding the itching I realised I had a yeast infection and took a medication for it. But there is still slight itching which I think is mainly because of work on the clitoral area. The stitches haven't fully dissolved yet. I've started taking a daily antihistamine which works great.
