Labiaplasty (25+, No Kids)

Labiaplasty was something on my mind since I was 17. No partner ever said anything negative about my vulva, but I was still self-conscious. I had one labia minora that was longer, darker, and thicker than the other. This side was always getting pinched in underwear, pressed through lace, and tugged on during sex (and not in a good way). I constantly had to tuck it upwards and adjust myself to feel comfortable.
It got worse when I committed to a healthier lifestyle. My outer labia lost some volume with my weight loss, causing the area to look deflated. I say this with the most humor possible, but I called it my "sad squidward".The end result had me looking for a surgeon who could remove the longer tissue while preserving a natural look. I wasn't looking to be a cookie-cutter vulva; but something that looked and functioned better. I ultimately settled with Dr. Nicole Williams. Her background was impressive and she was exactly what I was hoping for. She was friendly professional and personable. I had my surgery just a few days ago and plan on updating as my healing process continues!

I wanted to share my before pictures. I know that it helped me when others posted theirs.

This photo is 1 day post-op. I was worried about the inflammation circled (I didn’t have tissue removed there, there were no stitches). I contacted the office and they said it was completely normal. If it got worse, I was to call back.
