I haven't paid this site a visit in a couple of months. I needed a break from obsessing over my lady bits, I was starting to become my own worst critic.
So, it's been 3 months since I had my surgery and I am still a little sensitive down there. The days of wiping after I pee are all but a distance memory... I now dab. Dab, dab, dab. It is not painful, just sensitive. Still has that very 'new' feeling I guess - delicate.
I have decided to share some up close and personal pictures with you. It is very tempting to take advantages of angles and lighting to help make her look pretty, but I feel it's important to share my real pictures - the good, the bad and the ugly.
I still have a love/hate relationship with her. Some days I love my new bits, but at other times we break up and don't talk to each other for a few days.
I think it's important to remember that surgeons aren't magicians, but they can work with what they are given to give you the best results possible. It's flesh, not paper, so it was silly of me to think it was as simple as trimming a bit off here and a bit off there, and hey presto - Barbie vagina.
Overall, I am happy with my new lady bits. She no longer causes me discomfort. I just have to remember to manage my expectations, because perfection is not an achievable reality.
Apologies if the close ups offend the eye. I just want to share some honest photos with you - no sugar coating here.

Welcome back - thank you for coming back to update us on your results. I think your "lady bits" look really great and never be sorry for sharing photos - they are so appreciated by others and what RealSelf is all about -- helping others.

Nearly 5 weeks
Everything is on the mend. I have my 6 week post-op at the end of the week and I am hoping he will remove the last of the stitches because they are getting a little pully! Some days I feel ever so slightly disappointed with some bits and other days I love it to pieces. The only part which I am not 100% happy with is that the edges dont look smooth at all, sometimes I think they look like they've been snipped with zigzag scissors! But then I think back to how large they were before and the discomfort they caused me and I feel happy I did it again. My photo is taken from below as i stand to show you that I now have nothing peeking out, which ='s no rubbing on pants!
The only down side is that I think I still have a slight yeast infection even after taking a course of medicine. Really stange as I have only had it once before and it only lasted a couple of days!

Looking fantastic !! I just realised I haven't had anything else booked in since my two weeks. Should I have ?? Lol. I have under skin stitches which I can feel the head popping out and it's So so sore to touch.
Also over time the edges smoother out. It's only natural that after been sliced and diced out skin bubbles and scar tissue forms. Keep smothering on coconut oil and eventually 3-6 months it'll smoother out. [RS bleep]
Thank you :D I think he would've told you that you needed to book a 6 week consultation if he thought you needed it. He told me to book another consultation as mine wasnt healing so well last time, he had to give me guaze and medicine and told me not to use soap etc. But if you are unsure I would call the office and ask. I hope it smooths out, looks like someone has done tiny snips all the way down! I am coconutting twice daily at the mo...greasy.!! Mines also sore to touch - i still have to dap rather than wipe when I pee. I dont understand how they say its okay to resume sexual activity at 6 weeks, mine still feels so fragile....good thing i'm a single pringle!! x
Looking good. I also have the bumps but its better than it was before. I didnt really like shaving before as I hated how i looked down there - now I'm getting through razors like never before so that clearly says something!!
Me too - cant wait till i can get a proper brazilian, or hollywood wax :) Summer bikini's here we come!
Thanks, thats reassuring to hear that I am not the only one with bumpy bits and that they smooth over time. How many weeks are you now?
Think its 10 weeks on Tuesday!!! God it feels much longer. Its been a journey and a half!!
hi what's the name of your doc and surgery? thanks
Hey Ellie, I have sent you a private message x
Ellie, I sent you a PM. Sorry for the delay!! x
Yeah me too! I dab not wipe. But oh my god just tried to have sex and I now feel like a red raw piece of meat. Not very good at all. The inside of my noon hurt as well so I wouldn't advise it lol. Definitely won't be doing that anytime soon. Glad you're happy with your results. I'm still so fragile waahhhh longest healing of our lives ! Think my boyfriends going mad with frustration haha but tough he will have to wait. Coconut oil is a god send seriously oxox
Ouch! I have purchased some coconut oil - really helps and sooths the area too! x
So sore today AAAHH my recent photo makes me laugh haha. Hope you're all okay xx
Amazing

Hi again :) I would really love if you would add your thoughts to the following discussion when you have a moment: Labiaplasty: What Do You Wish You Knew Before Having Surgery?
And girls, feel free to join in the conversation as well :)
Some days I'm still a bit tender and things feel a bit odd but I think the full healing process can take a long time - up to a year. I'm no longer checking all the time as it is what it is and as you say we are our own worst critics. Will we ever go back to wiping or will we be dabbing forever!!
Thanks again for the update.
Hope you continue to heal nicely and that our days of wiping will return someday!! x
