I have just arrived home after having my Labiaplasty privately at (Day case). My surgeon was Angelica Kavouni and I chose her because of her vast experience and reputation. The method she used wasn't one I had heard of before but again I trusted her opinion...I think I was quite vague during my consultation due to nerves so I am praying that I gave her a good enough idea of what I wanted (only time will tell I guess!)
With a severe needle phobia I honestly was not sure I was going to be able to go through with it and had spent a good part of the morning freaking out with a few tears and then I had a mini panic attack just before they sedated me...however with the support of the amazing nursing staff I finally went through with something that has affected my confidence for as long as I can remember (I also had a septate Hymen removed which had ruined my sex life for years!).
Waking up in the recovering room I was very out of it but was aware of the stinging pain down below so was given morphine and then another pain relief after as I was still quite uncomfortable. After about 30 minutes they took me back to my room and helped me onto the bed which again was very uncomfortable but not too painful (the morphine definitely helped!)
The left side was much more swollen then my right and it felt like every time I moved something was ripping and I was really panicky as there was fresh blood each time I moved, however the doctor reassured me a few times everything was fine (I really hope so!). It stings ALOT to wee at the moment!
I left the hospital at around 7 pm after being Fed and checked over again by the staff and I am now in bed with a frozen sanitary towel on which feels like it is really helping! I have taken Arnica for the bruising and antibiotics which they prescribed. I also have some cream to put on it but I think I will wait until morning when I have a proper clear as I don't want to disrupt the stitches right now!
Worried what it will look like tomorrow but I will update on my healing process and hopefully it will all be okay and worth it!

Had an uncomfortable night sleep, had to take some pain killer this morning but I haven't needed any more today.
Still very swollen...bruising is coming out quite a bit now too. Recovery is very boring, thank god for netflix!

I went out for the first time yesterday, minimal walking but a good couple of hours standing and it was slightly uncomfortable. Walking was more like major waddling so I know it is too soon to try that again at the moment. It feels a bit tight at times and sharp pains occasionally which I think maybe the stitches dissolving (I hope!)
More bruising today on my actual lip but I think the stitches are less visible which is a good sign at least. I have been putting on the ointment I was given to keep the stitches from drying out too soon (Hence the shininess).
Trying to not poke around too much and disrupt anything but I have found that ear buds are very helpful for drying/cleaning after a wee just in the creases as its hard to do it otherwise due to the swelling!
Bored bored bored....wish I could fast forward to day 10 already!
