Labiaplasty - my healing has gone very well so far

The surgery itself was almost laughably easy. All the difficulty of the procedure is psychological - coming to terms with the decision itself, the money, how it feels ‘self-indulgent’, how private it is.

I sat on this idea for a long time and there’s a bit of internal warfare looking at bad outcomes online and second-guessing yourself.

I had a trim alone, the simplest type and it was very straightforward with clear instructions. I had two painkillers the day of the procedure and literally nothing else after that (!) and only a little bleeding the first 24hours. I feel like my healing has gone very well so far. Didn’t use any ice at all, just antibacterial the first 2-3 days then aquafor. Wearing very loose soft shorts without underwear helped immensely.

Dr Hunter isn’t particularly gushy or sweet which is totally fine - I needed a competent, efficient and highly experienced surgeon which is what I got.

Everything is guided by the nursing staff who are all very patient, sweet and caring. Fully recommend Dr Hunter and his team.
