30 Yo, Sick of Wearing Loose Pants - NYC

For so long I hated my labia & unsightly, fatty, bulging mons.
Honestly, I never knew I had a problem until about 10-12 yrs ago during a routine GYN exam the GYN said to me, "wow you have a very prominent pubic area, you must be very embarrassed". Well I was every second of every day after that...
I was so embarrassed. I always have to wear loose, baggy pants & long shirts. Would never be able to wear a bathing suit, shorts or any kind of thin material.
I did research surgery options for quite a long time. Everything kept bringing me back to Dr Gary Alter. I did email him, he responded with a few hours. I did book the surgery in NYC (he primarily practices in Beverly Hills but does go to NYC as well).
This was such a humiliating problem for me I told NO ONE about my shame or my scheduled surgery.
The week before the surgery I did end up telling my mom as I did need someone there with me for 24hrs after surgery (doctors rule). I actually didn't even tell her what I was having done, she didn't find out until the nurse told her when I was in recovery lol

I did have labia majora reduction with lipo of mons on August 21st.
I'm still healing. I definitely notice an improvement.
The first 10 days were pretty rough. Not real bad pain just discomfort. It didn't help that I did end up having bronchitis that started my first post-op day.
It wasn't until about 2 days ago that I could really sit down comfortably. It's like 2 days ago someone hit a switch & I just started overall feeling much much better.

I did finally post my review as I feel RealSelf has really helped me before & after my surgery. Also, I did find a lot regarding labia minor reduction but did have a hard time finding much about labia majora reduction & mons lipo so wanted to put it out there for other women that may be having the same difficulty.
I did not include pictures at this point, I know myself I do find the pictures very helpful but I am still mentally trying to cope with everything. I know to some it may seem silly but this 'defect' has caused me much, much humiliation, shame & embarrassment; its consumed by thoughts every single day, almost at least ever hour of every day for years now.
I have been single after my last relationship ending as I have been afraid to be intimate with anyone.
I do have a few photos of before & some now while I'm healing that hopefully at some point I can share.
If anyone is reading this & experiencing a similar problem if I can be of any help with surgery questions please feel free to comment or private message me!
