Smaller inner labia, wedge method
Surgery date 8/5/2016
Age: 36
Day 1
Healing has been good. I went under sedation and it was like taking a small nap. Comfortable during surgery.
I had a nurse drive me to the hotel and stay with my for 6 hours.
Very helpful! I able more mobile easer to get up and walk. Glad I am healing quickly I was worried there for a little! I think it's cause the vaginas are meant for trama and amazing..even though we don't like the long labia.
Been icing. Wearing a pad. I bought my own which, it was a big relief to take off the surgical one and put on my own at the hotel. Way more comfortable and thin. Some spotting. Supposed to get period soon.
No meds so far
I am supposed to drive home tomorrow. I think i am okay without any meds. But, the bed at this hotel is rock hard. And it's hard to sleep on it. Worst thing so far...haha. Try to recover in your own bed.

I feel better. I had period like cramps with no blood. I am due, maybe I will skip it this month. Labia wasn't too swollen. Still trying to take it easy. It is hard to be patient and relax I keep worrying about stitches not healing and having to go back to work. Trying to not get anxious and relax.

Day 4

I slept better last night. I still wake up with pain in my knees and lower back. I am a side sleeper, making myself sleep on my back is tough! I also got my period. TMI but What a mess! So hard not to wear tampons and try to keep the area clean without wiping. Also I feel better without underwear so I lay on a dark towel but the have padded underwear around my knees that I pull up as needed.
The swelling has gone down a lot. I heard if peaks at day 3-5 and then gets better. I think mine peaked at day 3. So it's getting better slowly. I get emails from work and my to-do list is going up. Trying to relax and force myself not to do too much. I know my surgeon did his job and now I have to do my part and take it easy. Even though I kept this surgery a secret I did have to tell some people at the hotel I had surgery. I had the bellhop carry my bags and place everything up high. Make sure nothing is on the ground or low on a shelf for the first few days. Also, if I ever have another surgery I am getting an object grabber stick. It helps a lot in the first few days if you are caring for yourself.

Also, I forgot to mention I initially planned on staying in the hotel for 2 nights but extended it to 4 nights. I had a small kitchenette in the room. And did some grocery shopping before. It ended up costing a lot more than anticipating. It definitely would be easier to have not had the surgery be confidential and have someone else take care of you. But it is what it is...

How are you feeling now? I'm glad to hear you did some grocery shopping before your surgery and have a kitchenette in your room. And it's probably good you extended your stay a few days so you can rest. I know it's hard doing this on your own. I was scared I would have complications but thank goodness I made it on my own. I got my period the day after surgery. For a little bit I thought it was from surgery and then realized it was my period. Are you still icing? I felt like that really helped me, especially since I stop meds the morning after surgery. I never told anyone in my personal life about the surgery...yet I showed very personal photos here and details of my recovery! Go figure. Like you said, it is what it is. There was no one where I am now that I could talk to about this. Even if I had been at home, I could've never share this with anyone, so maybe it was better that I was away and wouldn't have to deal with recovery and answer questions from friends/family. Being on Real Self and talking to other ladies really helped me a lot. I guess that's why I continue to come back months after my surgery. I hope you are feeling well and keep us updated!

I'm feeling much better. I think the worst part is over. i do appreciate the support on realself. The first few days at the hotel were hard emotionally even though I don't consider this a major surgery.

This woman had the surgery for her own reason. Whether you consider this circumcision or not is of no consequence to this lady or anyone else. Some women have the surgery purely for cosmetic reasons. Many have the surgery because they have pain and irritation due to the size of their labia. I don't know why this lady had her surgery and guess what....IT DOESNT MATTER! It's her body, she is of legal age and paid for the surgery, so it's her right to do whatever she wants. Move your negativity along.

Who's "promoting" it? We are sharing our stories on a cosmetic surgery site, not on Facebook or Twitter. Some share stories where the surgery went well and there are many who have been botched. There are risks to every surgery and this site definitely shows the good and bad of it all. I'm not going around town telling anyone who will listen that I've had the surgery. I've never told anyone I had the surgery, other than anonymously here. I was willing to share the good and bad and I was willing to take the risk because I was in pain every day due to my labia size. My sex life hasn't been negatively effected and many women report their sex lives improve immensely. Have you had the surgery? Did you have a bad outcome? Well, if so, then share your story here and warn other women about your surgeon. Contrary to what you said, this surgery is not always about looks. Are you also commenting on the breast reduction page too? Is that surgery more "acceptable" to you? The breasts can cause a lot of sexual stimulation for women. Is it somehow okay for women to reduce their breast size because of pain, yet just because we deal with vulvar pain and have a labiaplasty it's somehow not okay? You have every right to disagree with this surgery. But, if you haven't had to suffer with pain or discomfort from large labia or if you haven't had the surgery, you will never understand. This surgery was great for me! I don't regret it for a second. I no longer have pain just from sitting, walking or exercising. There are women who do regret it and that's why it's imperative women do a lot of research before choosing a surgeon and following through with the surgery. I've made all my points and will not continue to engage with the negativity. If you want to discourage people from the surgery, I recommend you you do it in a positive way. Tell the women they are beautiful before they go through with the surgery. Positivity goes much further than negativity.

I have like her shown in Picture.how can I Care my Vagina and labiya

The procedure I had is called wedge labiaplasty. My old vagina worked well and guys seemed to like it...I liked it sometimes. But I just wanted it smaller, me being a perfectionist. Luckily no complications yet. So far so good.
Glad your recovery is going well -- be sure to keep us updated on how you are doing. Did you tell anyone that you were having this surgery? How much did your labiaplasty cost?
