Labia Puff and Perineoplasty - 15 days away from surgery

So after what seemed forever 2 weeks passed and each day the asymmetry on my labia was more noticeable and I felt so depressed and anxious, It was finally time for my follow up appointment and I was nervous, I told the dr I was feeling depressed and he smiled warmly responded calmly “well let’s fix that” which immediately made me feel a sense of relief, like he cared, he took a look at me and went over my options, of course I choose to do another labia puff, and then to my surprise the Dr told me he could fix it the next day if I had time.. my stress melted away then because I knew that Dr Ghozland had my best interest in mind and that everything was going to be ok. He scheduled me and sent my prescriptions to the pharmacy and I went home to get prepared for the following day. I had the revision and things went smoothly, it didn’t hurt as bad this time around, I took Xanax and just tried to close my eyes and relax. It took about a hour, and so far my results look beautiful. I am so grateful for the timely manner everything was handled, I was nervous that I was going to be self conscious and embarrassed all summer (swim suit season! ) because of asymmetric labia majora.. but everything ended up all good. I highly recommend Dr. Ghozland and his staff. Everyone was amazing and I felt taken care of. Today I woke up and I’m not too swollen just a little sore on my inner thighs from the lipo. I’m on antibotics and I have hydrocodone for pain. I didn’t bruise much. I’m just taking it easy for the next 2 weeks. I’m feeling a sense of relief and I’m so glad despite any complications I had That I have no regrets and chose the Dr I did. I will update with pictures soon.

So around 10 days post op my right labia started to swell it became more painful than it had been, so I went to see the dr on Tuesday and was told everything looked fine, that the swelling was normal for what I been thru… but the swelling continued so 2 days later I emailed with my concerns about the swelling increasing along with redness and that it was very painful on Thursday evening… nobody got back to me , I figured they were busy cause it was Friday and didn’t want to bug since I had just been there a few days prior… (always listen to your gut , I felt something was wrong) so I went thru the weekend in pain and swoll up so crazy and developed a lump/boil, Monday morning I called the dr office first thing and told them something was wrong, they saw me right away, I was told I had a infection, the dr prescribed me antibiotics and recommended a sitz bath and scheduled me for another appointment Friday… I started antibiotics immediately & I took the sitz bath that evening and the lump which was near the suture on my right labia burst and blood and fat leaked out for the next 3 days :( it was painful and scary, but the swelling, redness and pain went down… unfortunately at the moment I’m looking a little bit asymmetrical, I just went to my dr appointment (it’s Friday today) and the dr said I was looking much better and told me to come back in 2 weeks, prescribed my yeast infection medicine just in case since I’m taking 2000mg of antibiotics a day (antibotics sometimes cause yeast infection) I have a few days left of that. I feel as though I might need a revision on the right side since the fat leaked out… after doing google & youtube researching I feel like I went thru superficial fat necrosis, the dr didn’t say that so maybe infection is the same thing? So I will wait it out and see but I’m pretty sure I will need a revision. I do yoga and if it’s noticeable in my yoga pants I will have to fix it. I don’t want uneven labia majora. So far the dr and the staff have been compassionate and cool about the complication. The Dr said hed be keeping a close eye on me, and reassured me I’ll be ok, which makes me feel more secure…I sure hope everything will turn out ok. I’ve documented this process and will share pictures. I know complications occur sometimes, I’m still happy that I got this done I just hope when all settles I still feel this way and that I’m satisfied with my results… I’ll be posting another update soon!

Hi so I think I’m healing ok so far, I’m more swollen on my right side than the other because I had a labiaplasty on one side to even out my lips. It stings a bit when I pee , I’m using a pernibottle to squirt cool water to keep clean. I can’t shave or anything for 6 weeks so im getting pretty hairy which I don’t like at all, makes me itchy…but the rules are the rules. I can see my perineoplasty stitches and they look fine, the only discomfort I have there is when it comes to coughing, laughing or using #2. Im just continuing my stool softeners. I take a ibuprofen 800 before bed. Other than that I’m trying not to take them to avoid constipation.
Im trying to stay in good spirits to help the healing process, trying not to look to much at my Coochie right now because the extra swelling on one side makes me feel scared that I’m losing fat on one side but logically I know the swelling difference is because of the labiaplasty. I just really want to keep as much fat as possible, it’s unpredictable how much will stay and where you lose it from so it is a bit nerve wrecking. I was told I could lose up to 30%. I just hope everything heals evenly. I guess I can always do another labia puff if I need, but hopefully I won’t have to. I’m still extremely happy with my choices. Surgery can be draining emotionally I’ve been through it enough to know better, so I will just relax and heal and check back in next week unless anything changes.
