Hi everyone who has been following along/will see this review.
I thought I would come on here and update as it’s almost been two years!
It feels like a lifetime ago that I had my surgery!! I have no ongoing issues (like over/under sensitivity or pain), no problems re my sex life and I am genuinely really happy with my results.
Looking at my photos, I feel as though there is probably a slight difference and even less swelling than my final photo. And everything has “settled” and healed more.
I don’t even remember life pre surgery, this just feels like “me” now. I’m so happy I went ahead. I remember feeling almost guilty for spending my money on this and thinking to myself “am I doing it for the right reasons?” But I am grateful to past me for having the courage to go ahead because I’m a lot happier and confident, and discomfort free!

Hello everyone,
I haven't posted in a while. I've been doing well. No pain at all. Just wanted to say thanks for the support through my journey, it's been much appreciated. I will be deleting the app on my phone, which will likely mean I won't be back on here at all.
I hope that my review has helped someone, I know it definitely helped reading other people's :)
Good luck! Xx

Hi amazing result thanks for sharing! I am just wanting to know if Jane included clitoral hood work/prepuce skin or contouring from the labia minors to the clit? And Also how much your procedure cost ?

Side by side comparison
clairebear94December 19, 2016
Just out of curiousity for myself, I put my before and current after photo next to each other....I am actually amazed at the difference.
When I took the Before photos I actually looked at them long and hard and thought "is it really THAT bad?" "Am I being silly for wanting this?"
Now I look and see the difference and realise that my reasons for wanting the surgery were completely justifiable. I wasn't comfortable physically or mentally. I am now so happy.
To assume someone gets labiaplasty done JUST for cosmetic appearance is ridiculous. For me, this was a major mental roadblock to my self esteem and sexuality (as well as painful day to say). I don't regret this decision at all, and look forward to the changes I see over the next few weeks as I heal more :)

I so wish I could afford to have this done! The after pics look like my dreams. I feel disfigured and disgusting how will I ever be naked in front of someone? Without first tucking everything up inside me first... I am hideous and so wishing I could afford labiaolasty
December 20, 2016
You are not hideous :) please realise this. We all have different tastes. What you may not love about yourself, someone else may adore about you. However, you need to be happy within yourself. I struggled financially and needed a loan which I will have to carry with me until I can pay it off. Financial struggle for a short period is worth it to me for such a change in my confidence and wellbeing. Good luck x

The difference looks amazing! You're really making me think hard about doing this.
December 20, 2016
I totally get it. Mental and self esteem roadblock? Absolutely me - 100%. I too had those thoughts about if I was doing it for the right reasons. Questioning myself. Yet, as I drove to the surgeons office to sign paperwork for the surgery, my eyes were watering because it hurt so bad just sitting in the damn car. At that moment I told myself - no more! No more questioning my motivations. While I hated how I looked, I hated how I felt (physically and emotionally) even more. Despite that moment, I still did have a thought every now and then about was my motivation right? My results aren't "perfect". I also did a side by side comparison and I was surprised at how different I was. I still have a healthy amount of labia, which is what I wanted but would sometimes think wow it seems like I have way too much in comparison to other ladies here. Going back to my side by side reminds me that its fine. When I have those moments I try to remind myself how I felt before the surgery and how all I wanted to was just be comfortable and anything would be an improvement. I've got that now and being more confident is a huge plus. And no longer having to adjust myself for walking, sitting, exercise, etc has shown how much I really had to work around my big labia. So, congrats to you! I'm so glad you are feeling well and so happy with your results. I have no regrets either and it makes me so happy when I see other ladies report the same. Because we know that that doesn't always happen. Keep us updated and again, congrats!!!

Completely agree! As soon as I started seeing the difference post op all of my doubts about why I was doing this went away. I was scared I was doing this for 'someone' else (nobody specific, but to keep 'society' happy). I have realised now that it was me all along I have wanted to make happy. I feel so much better and glad you can relate :)

The end result looks fantastic, I'm so happy for you! I had a giggle reading through your re-cap as I'm in the exact same situation you were - I'm not going to tell anyone (even my parents) about getting this surgery! However getting it might be a little tricky for me as I'm from interstate so I'd have to shack up somewhere for a week or more to recover! Sorry if this is too private of a question but did you get any Medicare rebate from this? I'm debating as to whether I should even bother with it (might be too difficult for me as I don't want anyone to know about the surgery).
January 25, 2017
Thank you! It's tricky isn't it...will you be coming down to Vic to get it? I did get about $300 back. I'm on my own Medicare card so nobody had to know :) good luck!
January 27, 2017
Yeah I'll be coming to Vic! I have to figure out who I am going to get to discharge me from hospital though so that's another obstacle I didn't even think about! Okay fair enough, I'm definitely considering just getting my own Medicare account to minimise the risk :)
January 28, 2017
If you stay overnight, you don't have to leave with anyone but it is an extra cost! I only had someone with me because I was a day stay patient
January 28, 2017
Really? That's fantastic news!!!! I was seriously considering making a mate come with me to discharge me but that's a real relief! Thank you for letting me know!
January 28, 2017
Okay it cut the rest of my reply off...what I also said was, I don't think you will 'feel' like you need to stay once you have it but it's a good option if you're interstate and don't have anyone with you :) you're welcome!
