Labiaplasty and Clitoral hood Reduction.

WORTH IT$7,005
After years of discomfort with my longer labia and large clitoral hood I decided to do something about it. It's important to me that I share a lot about my experience to helps others make an informed decision. This is long, but I've put different aspects in paragraphs so you don't have to read the whole thing depending on what you're interested in.
My decision to go through with the procedure was a difficult one. I have experienced physical pain (chaffing, discomfort during sex, pee spraying everywhere, etc) and emotional discomfort since it started to "grow" at 14. After much research I learned that having a longer labia/clitoral hood was totally normal. I learned about surgery but felt I was being dramatic and giving into "societies beauty standards" by considering surgery. At 20 years old After much thought I decided the physical and emotional discomfort was not worth my pride and ego and this surgery would improve the quality of my life.
I researched the doctors in my area ruthlessly and eventually came to Dr.Giannoulias. His reviews were limited, but all fantastic and made it clear he was well educated and experienced. His staff was phenomenal and put me at ease from the second I walked in, through my initial consult, my pre-op, and my surgery. When meeting Dr.Giannoulias I found he didn't talk much, but he answers all your questions straight to the point and his confidence is contagious. In addition he took my concerns about specific narcotics very seriously and prescribed me the appropriate medications which was very important to me. I felt comfortable at the clinic and after explaining my issues and what I'd like done, I got a quote for my surgery, A total of $7006 (CDN) A hefty price, but nothing in comparison to the long term discomfort of not having this procedure.
I had my surgery in the early morning of October 28th, 2017 and I am already thrilled with my results. It will take time for swelling to go down and have things look more aesthetically pleasing, for the first two weeks of healing it's going to look somewhere between burnt lasagna and an infected baboons ass. In addition the physical discomfort from my longer labia is gone and I can tell!! I was able to pee without my stream going everywhere and that made me incredibly happy. I was in pain earlier today, but the pain killers are helping and I feel I am healing well. I will continue to update every few days on the recovery process.
At this point I don't have many criticisms, the only is I wasn't able to give feedback as to which style of procedure I wanted done (the Barbie vs rim). Regardless I have faith the results will look fantastic because Dr.Giannoulias knows what he's doing.

First week update!
Anna neemousNovember 6, 2017
This last week has consisted of a lot of pain medication, irregular sleeping, and feeling sorry for myself. Luckily everyday the swelling had decreased a little bit more and the pain has lessened. Unfortunately I've got a yeast infection caused by applying Fucidin cream (topical antibiotic). But that's totally normal and canesten cream had been a miracle worker. It's been pretty gnarly looking over the last week and at times down right disturbing!
I had both sutures and dermabond (skin glue) on my labia and dermabond for the smaller areas around my clitoral hood so that's what the weird white stuff is. As well as some canesten cream. I'm more swollen on my right side and my dissolvable sutures are starting to pop out. Thought I'd post these so their women know it's totally okay to have it not looking super pretty a week later.
I am already noticing the lack of chaffing. Even while swollen and angry I'm feeling the difference with my labia. I am unhappy that I can't workout yet, but this is very worth it.

Totally freaking out with the healing process...
Anna neemousNovember 8, 2017
I am about a week and a half into healing and have notice an area on my clitoral hood that was closed with dermabond has seemed to split open. I talked to the doctor and was able to send him a picture. He says it will close. I'm still totally freaked out and not entirely convinced, but I will trust the doctor that this will close. I thought I'd share this update so that I don't make this sounds all hunky dory and a perfect recovery. It's concerning at times. If anyone has similar experiences it would mean the world for someone to share them with me in a comment or a private message.

Thank you for sharing this! I had two stitches pop on the way home from the office and it totally freaked me out. Did you have the trim or wedge technique performed?
July 20, 2018
I never actually asked. My doctor was a little to the point on things. I am almost certain it was a trim method though. I can't imagine with where I remember the stitches that I had a wedge technique.

What helped with pain most?
Could you sit in a soft chair for howling? Could you sit and just lean to the side? I'm trying to figure out do I really need to take up work because I can't sit at on the couch and do the consulting that I do. A lot of it is the name but luckily not on hard chairs. Please advise. You have excellent results!!

Sorry I realized I had a lot of typos there. The advertisement says that you're back at work within 2 to 3 days. Based on what your said it looks like you were in off work for a few weeks. Is there any way that you could've sat on the couch and lean to the side in the Nabel to make it through an hour of work or is there just no sitting?
What were the biggest things that helped with the pain?
