Complications

I have had a few issues post op that have made it really hard to be satisfied with the surgery I had done. I'll preface this by saying I did have a bad hematoma post op that made recovery more difficult than I originally thought it would be. Now that I am four months out I am having issues with dryness and am currently using an estrogen cream to combat some of that. I don't have much labia minora left-very little honestly which is definitely not helping with the dryness. I feel like everything looks weird now that I have next to no labia minora left on the bottom and a lot of skin left on the top.One last problem I've had is I don't have a lot of feeling left in the top. I can't feel hardly anything around the clitoris. It just feels like normal skin now. The top part has been a problem since surgery. Before surgery I would take a walk everyday and now if I walk too much the top hurts-like something is being pulled on for a lack of better words.I am terrified that these issues won't get any better and I will have to deal with them for the rest of my life. I feel absolutely humiliated with how things look and all the issues I am dealing with. My confidence has definitely taken a hit. I am 20 years old-I should not be having issues with dryness, etc. I never expected for this surgery to give me more issues than I ever had with my labia minora prior to surgery.

I’m 7 months out from surgery and none of my previously listed complications have gotten better. I’m fact I would argue it has gotten worse. The swelling is finally gone-and now that I can see the final results I am horrified. A great majority of my labia minora was amputated. I can barely feel anything. The remaining skin at the top pulls when I exercise and really gets quite sore. I am dry all of the time and can’t even wear tampons anymore. This is a living nightmare and is undoubtedly the worst decision I have ever made.

It’s been 9 months-She never offered any solutions. I went ahead and had reconstruction done-that’s how bad it was. I talked to multiple doctors prior to reconstruction-Horrified-that’s was their reaction the the botched job she did on me. Now I’m over 30k out including reconstruction + the botched labiaplasty cost. Nothing will ever be the same again. Ever. This whole experience has literally broke my heart. I had reconstruction done to limit all the complications I was having but nothing will ever be the same again. I feel like I was butchered on a physical level but the mental toll this has taken is no joke. I still hurt-and I doubt that will change. I can’t see myself ever dating again-or having children-which was one of my biggest dreams. That’s my reality now-and it really sucks. I’m so embarrassed by how things look. I’d give my right arm to go back in time and stop myself from ever going to her. I really do think she had no idea how to properly do a labiaplasty-it seems so many doctors have no clue. You don’t need to have a labiaplasty done-you are perfect the way you are. But if you do-please go to someone that knows what they are doing.
