28 and Labiaplasty at Long Last - New York, NY

1 labiaplasty and 2 revisions later here we are. I am grateful some semblance of my labia was retained and that it's not completely a clam. Definitely worth the money if you find a good surgeon. My only issue was that I should have been more assertive with what I wanted from the beginning; I likely wouldn't have had to have a third revision then. Any questions shoot them my way. Xx

So my anxiety ridden last post was unfounded - I went for a check-up the next day and she said all was well. When in doubt, just see your surgeon, or at least call. I realize commute may be an issue for some. I had soreness through Wednesday but on Thursday (8-days post) I could walk, squat, bend, without pain. I think a bothersome suture fell out or scab which might have helped because that was irritating. I can't exercise until 2-weeks post op (so long as I'm given the thumbs up at the 2-week mark by surgeon)...so I'm excited for Wednesday. I ran to the bus stop the other day and did notice a little residual soreness. Though you might feel up to par a week after, you can't be 100% active. Also, mind you, this was a REVISION, so it was less invasive than my primary surgery. I remember being quite sore for a couple weeks without that one. I am finally happy with the results and the swelling diminishes by the day. As this was my 2nd revision and altogether 3rd surgery, I am also felt compelled to accept the outcome.I was also super specific with this surgery so I finally got what I wanted. I wish I had been more specific in my initial consult because I feel that through everything off - my role was somewhat, and voluntarily, passive. BE SPECIFIC WITH YOUR SURGEONS. They will tell you if what you want is realistic and know that a valuable surgeon tends to err on the side of conservative with labial reduction. Will update at 2-week mark with progress.

I've been doing okay. The incision on the bottom near my vagina seems to be healing nicely. Today I noticed the incision line on the right labia minora was oozing blood when I pulled the right majora back (I need to do this in order to see incision). I'm not sure if this is normal; I emailed with my surgeon and she said take it easy and continue to ice/rest, to not worry about infection. I have taken it super easy (more so than with my original surgery). I could be better about icing. Anyway if anyone can let me know how often they bled for that'd be great and if you noticed similar redness and blood along incision 4 days+ post-operatively? It's frustrating because I want to monitor for infection but don't want to keep pulling the skin to check. Any two cents would be much appreciated! PS. I was given saline spray for cleansing but no antibiotic ointment or med.
