29 No Kids labiaplasty- Laguna Beach, CA

I went back in to get some touch ups. I wanted a smoother look especially the edges of my labia. My Dr. was very happy to do a revision. He made me feel comfortable enough to speak up (I was nervous about asking for changes) I’m much happier now. I had the area lasered. It was gorgeous! Unfortunately that baby smooth skin didn’t last but it’s still beautiful.

Just had my 8 week post op vist. I'm glad any visible sutures are out especially the ones on the inside. Labia minora are sensitive. Some sutures under the skin have yet to dissolve. They are tender as well. I hope things continue to get smaller and smooth out.

I think I'm over the worst of it. Day 5> There was more discomfort and pain then I anticipated. My pain meds made me very nauseous and dizzy (I was on a regular dose of ibuprofen in lieu). I discontinued them after 5-6 days it wasn't worth feeling so sick and vomiting. Inadvertently I was up every 2 hours restless, uncomfortable, and in pain. I felt as if my labia was sticking to my panty liners and my stitches would get snagged (oh my gosh- horribly painful). It burned something fierce when I went to the bathroom or applied any medication. My numbing cream became ineffective from using it everyday (but I totally needed it). So day 7 to 14 was hellish. Other things I'll mention I was not prepared for was: overly sensitive skin, sore on my hood of unknown origin, very stiff skin, not being able to locate my clitoris amongst the swelling, grotesque swelling, wounds weeping (when it hurts so bad how do I clean that?), umm laughing hurts, LADIES I would TAKE AT LEAST TWO WEEKS OFF BEFORE RETURNING TO WORK. I'm off for at least 5 weeks due to the nature of my profession which is very physical.
Right now my swelling has gone down significantly, I've lost at least 3 stitches, no bleeding, remaing stitches are irritating. At this early juncture I can't say if I'm satisfied nor dissatisfied.
I would post photos from day 1-14 but they look like they came out of a horror movie. I'll probably wait until all the stitches are gone before sharing any more.
