Highly Recommend for Labiaplasty/clitoral Hood Reduction
I had a very positive experience with Dr. Medalie for labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction. I’ve been wanting to have this surgery done for a while now and finally went through with it the past October (four months ago). My first appointment was just a consult where the doctor examined the area and made his recommendations on what needed done. He was very personable and took the time to explain everything. He showed me photos of examples and was very thorough with his explanations.
I booked my procedure and it went very smoothly. The nurse that was with me was wonderful. Held my hand during the injections, down to earth and made me relaxed/comfortable. I only needed the harder pain meds the night of the surgery but switched to OTC by the next day. I’ll admit that I was very swollen/uncomfortable/painful. But by the 7th day I really saw a turnaround. I tried to lay flat as much as possible during recovery. I had the surgery done Thursday and laid in bed as much as possible for the long weekend. I worked the following week about 4-5 hours a day. It was just hard to sit in the chair all day so I stood mostly.
One thing I found that I didn’t have was the “itching” that patients complain about a few weeks after surgery. The one thing I can only think of was that I shaved down there before surgery and didn’t shave again at all during recovery. I feel like maybe shaving could cause the hair to be sharper when it’s growing out and might add to the itching/irritation. That’s just my speculation so I’m not positive!
Overall, I recommend going through with the procedure if it’s been on your mind. Absolutely changed my confidence and overall self image. Wish I did it sooner. I don’t have a boyfriend so I haven’t tried sexual intercourse yet. Therefore, I can’t speak much on how it feels. Everything looks great after four months of recovery so I highly recommend Dr. Medalie for labiaplasty/clitoral hood reduction!
