Labiaplasty with local anesthesia.

I have been insecure with my vagina for as long as I can remember. I finally got the procedure done today and wanted to post my experience for others since this website was able to give me so much insight. First off, let me say that my doctor was absolutely amazing. The office, the staff, everything was great. I was given the prescriptions, pain medication and antibiotic, before to have filled so I could start the antibiotic the day before the procedure to prevent infection. I went in and the procedure went by very smoothly. The worst part was numbing the area but it was manageable. However, once the procedure was over and the numbing wore off, the pain was unbearable. I couldn’t even stand to be in the car due to the bumpy roads, we can blame that on the state though. I have since been home and have been suffering in bed. I had to urinate once, and it was pretty horrendous. My partner has been really supportive and I definitely suggest that you have someone to be with you if available. I’ve tried taking naps but the pain wakes me up. I’m really hoping the pain goes away, but I know it won’t be going anywhere just yet.

The pain slowly got better through the day of the surgery, thank you pain meds! I was able to sleep through the night and took many naps. When I woke up in the morning I felt a lot of soreness but it wasn’t unbearable. I’ve been keeping on schedule with my pain meds and antibiotics, I was hoping I wouldn’t need the pain meds but yesterday was a hard hit from reality. I am still having a hard time walking, I walk like a crab, but I think it’s because I have big thighs and if I was to try walking straight it would put pressure on the swelling. Again, I can’t emphasize how helpful my partner has been. From helping me get around to putting ointment on the area.

I’m still experiencing quit a bit of pain. It still seems pretty swollen and I feel like the stitches are poking my clitoris, which is incredibly uncomfortable as many can imagine. I’ve been avoiding wearing underwater and pants unless necessary. My right thigh has also become numb, probably because I haven’t been moving around much. I keep telling myself it will all be worth it in the end, which is already proving right since I don’t see or feel anything dangling down there any more.
