Labiaplasty with Dr Lau

I have always hated my long labia minora. Have had it since I was a teenager. As I got older I realized that all labia looks different and although normal I was still uncomfortable. I’ve wanted this surgery since I was 18. The pups wold occasionally fold in during sex, would get pinched in certain underwear, and woke rub if I went commando. Excited to share this journey with anyone facing same issues

I was awake during procedure. I was given a shot and a pill an hour before(one for pain one for calming)— he marked the area and we went over the procedure and all questions again. They moved me into the OR and he injected me with some local numbing it pinched a little but wasn’t painful. I didn’t feel anything after that. I had a movie on and my phone in hand playing around on Facebook. When we were done they gave me a small ice pack and panty liner and I went home (driven by friend) the first two day I slept and kept ice on it. Pain was minimal
Maybe a little stingy and feels like u gave birth (swelling and tingly) a little burn when per but used spray bottle. By day 3 I didn’t take any meds and just keep clean w panty liners and triple antibiotic and spraying when I pee. I took a week off work but would have been fine to go back after two days . I haven’t taken any meds but ibuprofen would be my go to if I was moving around more. It looks gruesome but he took an entire inch off each lip and removed some skin round the hood. I’m super excited to see healed I can already tell huge difference dr Lau called me the next day and checked in.

So far pain has been super minimal and swelling was uncomfortable the first week then it turned to a horrible itch I thought I had yeast infection but it’s just healing. Not much helps the itch I put warm compress and triple antibiotic on panty liner . It was really gross looking the stitched areas turned huge on one side but it went away and is healing pretty amazing. It’s a HUGE difference already and I’m sooooooo happy I made this decision. Can’t wait to see it heal more and smooth out over the next few weeks
