I had always wanted to get rid of that extra skin...

I had always wanted to get rid of that extra skin hanging from the front view of my vagina. It didn't necessarily hurt during intercourse, some clothes bothered me, but it was mostly vanity.
I saw Dr Pousti in California for my procedures (had breast revision as well)
He's a wonderful man and has a great staff.
I'd had Implants before so I knew what to expect there so I was pretty nervous about the labiaplasty.
After the surgery was over. I didn't feel bad at all. Slept a lot the first and second day. BFF took care of me. I took Percocet around-the-clock only the first and second days Valium as needed then switched to acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Only taking Valium at bedtime. I kept an ice pack down there almost all the time for about a week. Which I think helped a lot. I had a little cooler I took with us.
In the car, ice pack. Movies, ice pack. Out to dinner, ice pack. Slept with an ice pack
It never 'hurt' down there, just annoying discomfort. Kind of a burning feeling as if you had sex with no lubrication. Sorry for the tmi! Ice was my best friend. I'm only posting the before pic, because I wasn't supposed to peek for 4 weeks, I peeked at days 2 and 4 I think. I'm 11 days post op. I'll post an after pic in 2 weeks

Everything is going well slight discomfort at times. And itching! I looked it up on this website and it seems to be normal at this point. Nerves trying to find their way and sutures dissolving?
I read to take antihistamine. I'll call my doc first if the itching continues. I wondered about creams or if it's best to keep the area dry.
I'm dying from not being able to go to the gym.

Looking great! Okay... so I have alllllways wanted to have this done! How is the recovery time? Was it painful? Were you under anesthesia?

Recovery was easy. It wasn't really that painful. I was up and around in a few days. I kept ice down there as much as possible. I'm really glad I did it. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!

That's amazing! I have down there pierced, and that recovery time was extremely quick. So I was hoping this surgery would be a quick recovery as well. Thank you for responding too!
