WORTH IT
I've wanted the surgery for years, I got it finally and instantly thought WHY HAVENT I BEEN DONE IT!!!! I'm so happy so far! I was discouraged because of some of the reviews that describe this experience as unbearable but (my personal opinion! I know everybody's pain tolerance is different!) it was a complete breeze. I'm not sure if it was my doctors methods that made this procedure a breeze or if I have a very high tolerance for pain but honestly my tattoos hurt more than this procedure.
1. It was no where near as painful as described.
2. The local anesthetic shot prior to surgery (which everyone describes as the worse part) hurt less than a tattoo and is a pinch that last for a few seconds.
3. The only sign of discomfort was when the anesthetic wore off when I got home. I took the pain meds my doctor prescribed and I had a chill night and slept throughout the whole night.
4. After surgery urinating does not sting or burn. (In my case)
I arrived at my surgeons office at 3pm. His nurse greeted me, sat me in a room, and explained what we were going to do. She rubbed numbing cream all over my vagina. At this point I'm scared af because I know the shots were coming. She said they'd let it sit for about 15 min to numb , then my surgeon will come in and give me the anesthesia shots. He came in went over what we would be doing again, I asked a few questions and he briefly answered. Then he began making his lines of what would be removed. He noted that I didn't need any clit work done but there were skin on the outside that's holding it down that he would remove. I was very pleased as he explained my outcome will be remarkable because he felt that I was the perfect candidate. Then he brought out the needle I was mortified!! Then we warned me I was going to feel a pinch. He started giving me shots all over my vagina and like I stated before it literally felt like little pinches not bad at all. Then we moved into the operating room. The nurse was so helpful she gave two warm blankets and ensured I was comfortable. I asked a few questions about pain and she explained that people often chat throughout the surgery so that relaxed me a lot. The doctor came in and gave me another shot down there before he started which I could barely feel. He began operating and I couldn't feel anything. We were listening to music and chatting. I was so comfortable. There was an assistant in the room other than my doctor and nurse, that just sat on his phone the whole time and didn't even bother to greet me. I believe he was there to aid them but didn't make me feel comfortable with him being there at all.
At one point of the surgery I believe he may have started to use a laser and I could literally smell the burning, which didn't bother me really I was just happy the surgery was going so smooth. Another point of the surgery, I believe my right labia was not numb enough so I felt him pulling (which I shouldn't feel anything). I told him he immediately stopped and gave me more anesthetic and from there I literally couldn't feel anything. The surgery was over, my doctor got up and I asked damn it's over already he said yes you did great and then mentioned again that I'm going to love the look, explained the nurse would take care of me from there and then he left. The nurse walked me to the recovery area, I put on my clothes, she went over the aftercare, then I headed out. There is a Walgreens inside my surgeons building so I immediately picked up my prescription and my mom drove me home. The ride was a breeze I was still completely numb the entire 40 min drive. I did take my pain pills before we started driving just in case. I got home put pillow under my feet, ate some food and was comfortable. I believe the anesthetic started to wear off because I could feel some discomfort no pain just pressure in that area. I was also nervous to use the bathroom but it was inevitable. So went to pee for the first time after surgery and no pain! :) I just splashed urine everywhere. -__-. I cleaned up and laid down and slept the rest of the night.

What I’ve been using for my recovery
Curiouscat1234April 23, 2020
I use the skintegrity after using the toilet, I wipe with a wet wipe then spray it all over then pat dry.
Then I spray the dermablast, and apply Bacitrain.
Then change into a new pad.

Day 2

Nothing changed as far esthetic, still very swollen, no pain. When I ever I feel any discomfort I take my pain bills. I probably should try to get off of them but I thought it was to soon to stop taking them.
