21 Years Old Labiaplasty - Philadelphia, PA

It's scary to totally shave after the surgery, isn't it?! How are you feeling? The first time I had ever completely shaved myself was the day of my surgery. I would've just been too self conscious before then. Even with trimmed hair, my labia hung low and I just couldn't stand to be completely bare. But, after a few months I was feeling more confident and comfortable with my new self. Despite having more confidence, I was still feeling a bit insecure so I decided to just shave it all off again. What a difference. I finally felt better about some of my small new imperfections and really felt more like a woman somehow. Weird, because I had always been one of those women critical of women who shaved or waxed it all and wanted to look like a "little girl". I don't know why that always bothered me? Just typing that now I realize I was so critical probably because I was incredibly insecure about my own genitals that knowing other women were confident enough to bare it all was just too hard for me to identify with. I'm so happy to have had the surgery and my only regret is that I waited so long. I'm happy for you that you had the procedure young so you can let the insecurity go now. I too let it effect my relationships, on top of the fact of the physical discomfort. And now we can leave that behind us! So, do you ever wax? I'm really thinking about it now. What are you using to moisturize after you shave? I've been using coconut oil. Congrats to you on your recovery! I think you are over the big hemo of recovery now. Hope you are feeling well and love your results more every day.

Hi! I was wondering if you could tell me which obgyn you used that was able to get your procedure covered by insurance? I read your initial post and I have been in the exact same situation and would love some input!
