Happy at last, and still healing!

Dr. Pousti did a beautiful job revising his original work. The day of the consultation, we had clear expectations and photos/drawings on my labia, and he went to work. I was awake and did not feel a thing - but those numbing shots to the area that REALLY does not ever wish nor expect to get poked were not fun. The only tip I would have is to widen the operation table or add stirrups (like at the OB/GYN), as the worst part of the op was keeping my frog legs in place (I was getting borderline charlie horses towards the end). I think the biggest success was his desire to make both sides symmetrical but not take off too much off. He took off dark colored skin areas on both sides and the result (see photo) is still in progress, as the left side in the photo is a bit lumpy because it is still healing, I was told. Will update a month or so out.

p.s. Also special thanks to the ladies who helped make me feel comfortable and called me every single day until they discontinued after they kept reaching my voicemail...I'm an awful patient! Always too busy to answer, but the flip side is I don't fret about whats going on down there - it was a brief recovery but it always takes a long time to see final results...

6 Months Later and Unsatisfied...

Its been over 6 months (majority of the healing has completed), and this is the final result. Very asymmetrical, with the (my) left side mostly chopped off. I really would like to know how it ended up like this (I did all the proper aftercare), since a couple months ago it looked like it was healing in the right direction. Honestly would like a revision.

Day 9

Some further swelling 2 days later, and the mysterious grey edges near the bottom persist. I am noticing less pain and more tingling/itching, but overall I am able to go back to relatively sedentary work with occasional walking.

Dr. Pousti was direct about the procedure. I chose him due to favorable reviews, and his sense of aesthetics in terms of his previous patient's results. He is very prudent in not removing too much tissue. He was careful to make sure he understands exactly what I wanted, and is open to pictures/drawings/photos/ideas that I brought with me, so there was absolutely no confusion about the expectations before the operation. He and his staff follow up on patients consistently, and the prescriptions (which are picked up downstairs) and other paperwork were a breeze. They gave me a lovely vase of flowers when I left!
