Dr. Diehl and all of her staff involved in my procedure from the moment I stepped in the office were amazing. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful, and always accessible for any questions or concerns. It's only been one day since the surgery, but my head is spinning with long awaited relief. So happy to finally have gone through with this.

Day 3 post op
ccalyceAugust 7, 2016
Day 3 I've noticed swelling and overall pain has gone down some, nothing major but enough to make it a little more tolerable when I get up to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. I have only been taking 500mg extra strength Tylenol every 6hrs for the pain and alternating bags of frozen peas for the swelling, I stopped taking oxycodone on the first day. I will be returning to work in 4 days which will be a full week post op, hoping it will be more comfortable to sit by then. I know you're not supposed to look for a while, but I was too curious not to haha. It looks exactly as I would expect in this stage of recovery, nothing alarming. Eventually I'll post my before and fully healed after pictures. Hope this helps someone else out there with their labiaplasty decision as so many others have helped me with mine over the years!

Yea. I don't feel much pain and had my surgery the same day as you. It is hard to be patient. I can't wait until the sutures connect and the tissues get smooth. My hips and knees get sore from lying on my back so much. But it is getting a little better each day. :)

Post-Op Check up
ccalyceAugust 10, 2016
Had my post op appointment yesterday, doc said I'm exactly where I should be and I look good. Next appointment won't be for about 4 weeks so hopefully I make a lot of progress in that time. The last 2 days have been much better, I've had to do a little driving and grocery shopping. I notice I start getting pretty sore after moving around or sitting up, but I've been very good at icing. In comparison to the first few days where I felt the need to ice multiple times throughout the day, now I ice maybe twice a day. I've found that eliminating underwear or even loose sweats does wonders for being comfortable. It's still quite painful for me to even wear underwear. I've been fortunate enough to not hit the itchy stage....yet. I return to work tomorrow! Eek.
Hoping the painful stage passes very quick and I can finally just sit like normal without having to adjust myself.
