Ok so you can see how uneven I healed. The left side had a separation, and the lower half is drooping. I think that I look like a BEFORE picture of a labiaplasty, not an after. I think it's just the way my body healed, but I still think I have too much labia minora. I just don't know if it's bad enough that I have to plan a revision, or I should just leave it alone. If the tissues stretch again over the years though I know I will have to get a redo. Compared to most "after" photos I see.....I didn't get the results I should have.....

Sorry, but I think you have been left with a result that is not good enough, after all the pain and the expense to you. It certainly isn't ghastly, and if you are happy with what is left, then that's great. I just think you haven't ended up with the results you deserve. Good luck.

I live in Jacksonville and currently looking for someone for the same operation. I'm guessing I shouldn't go to who you did?! :/ any advice?!

Well, I liked the surgeon and the office I went to.....I just had bad results. I got my stitches resewn twice, and I swelled up so badly my stitches burst. I would ask for the trim method and not the wedge method, because my skin texture was so wrinkly I guess it was hard to get the edges to line up. Then again, you may not have wrinkles...everybody is different. I just wanted a smooth crease down there and instead I look like somebody took a weedwhacker to some bubble yum.

Hi Barb, sorry you didn't get the results you wanted. So how do you feel? Do you feel like this is something you will be fine with in future or something that you'd like to change? The good news is that you've probably got enough tissue so I would think you could have a revision (if you wanted) and could get a result you'd like. It sucks you would have to go through the pain and recovery again, but thankfully you weren't amputated like so many ladies have reported here. You deserve to feel good and confident about yourself, so whatever that is for you is what you should do. There's nothing wrong with waiting for a bit to see how you feel. It wouldn't hurt to get other consultations just to see what your options are and then you can go from there. Good luck and keep us updated :)

Labia appearance is genetic. It shouldn't stretch from any activity. You looked great before, and you loo great now. Stop worrying about something that doesn't matter. Any guy or gay would love to be near your labia. So many of these after photos look like children. Grown women are meant to have labia. Be glad they didn't amputate your entire labia, the doctor did a good job and probably let you more phsyically comfortable while keeping most of it intact.

Six Months After Surgery

BarbDance
I healed very uneven. I have scar tissue bunched up on the left side and a sagging strip where the stitch didn't hold on the left side. I still have more labia minora tissue than I expected to have. Granted, it's a lot less than i began with....but I'm concerned that this will start to sag in another decade and I'll have to get a revision. Does it look like what you'd expect a labiaplasty to look like?

Hi Barb. Sorry you've healed unevenly and have scar tissue. I hope you have no more pain or irritation at this point. I too still have a healthy amount left and have some imperfections. I still try to tell myself that it's so much better than where I was before, but there are some things that do bother me a bit. I could probably address some of it with a revision, but at this point I don't think I will. The physical issues of pain and discomfort are gone now and I have more self confidence. So for me, it's been worth it. I had hoped I'd have a the perfect looking lady after all was said and done, but really didn't think I would get that, I guess because of what I had been dealing with before. I do feel like my one side has started to sag a bit in the last two months and wonder how things will look later down the road too. It's tough judging one labiaplasty against another because we all looked different from each other to begin with and have different types of labiaplasties, plus different surgeon techniques and have different genetics that effect our healing. The important thing is how do you feel about it now? Do you think you will go for a revision or are you okay with your current result?

I'm okay with what I have now, but like I said before the tissue is still exposed enough to bunch up in my panties....so if it starts to stretch out and sag over the years I'll have a revision.

The thing with me is I have almost no padding in my labia majora, whivh only made my minora stick out even further. I'm not sure how much else could be taken off without them needing to graft fat into the majora in order to get it to "close". Then again I am perfectly happy with having visible labia minora as long as it doesn't sag.

My "after" photo looks like a lot of other women's "before" pics

My right lip healed with a separation in the middle. It kind of looks like someone took a bite out of it. Although my labia are a LOT smaller than before, they still stick out. I'm not sure if I should wait a year and have a revision to try to get it even smaller or if I should just let well enough alone. I might have to look into getting my labia majora worked on instead.

I'm so sorry the separation isn't better. Maybe it's a good idea just wait awhile and see how you feel? I'm just now getting to the point of accepting how look post surgery. I'm not perfect but slowly I've been able to come to terms with that. And I don't know yet if I'll have a revision for my imperfections. I'm just trying to see how things go down the road and will decide then. Are you having any pain or soreness?

I feel the same way you do about my post op. My doctor said he would do a revision surgery free of charge but not sure if I should trust him again. It's so hard when they tell you what your results are going to end up like then end up with something very different! Im sure you look great though. Maybe we just need to accept what we were given :)
