4 week update

WORTH IT$4,100
I feel great! Able to do light cardio (long walks mostly) and get around basically pain free. Stitches are dissolving nicely and the tiny hole in the middle is closing. The only annoyance is the yellow discharge from the stitches but panty liners help. Next FemiLift treatment and follow up scheduled for 5/6. ????

Forgot to post a 2 week update! I'm doing well and there is hardly any pain at all. The sutures are a bit uncomfortable but totally bearable. Sometimes I forget I had the procedure and have to remember to slow down! Can't wait to hold my little girl and work out again!
I developed a small hole in the skin layer only. Doc assured me that it's not uncommon abs that it should heal but will take longer. It looks kind of silly but as long as it closes I'm okay with it. :)

I'm wondering why you would have to spend money on Femilift when the perineoplasty is supposed to do the same thing and tighten you in and out with fixing of any urine leakage. Everything should of been done during the perineoplasty, that's the point of it and in lew of Femilift which is a temporary fix.???

I'm not a doctor but perineoplasty fixes the laxity of the introitus and does nothing for the bladder or the walls of the vagina.

just fyi, i dont think femilift works well, the only thing it helped for me was dryness. It doesn't tighten but i imagine maybe the doctor thinks it helps the skin inside heal by resurfacing it with a laser. I wouldn't have opted to do that one in addition if it costs alot of money, which was my case the first time around. I wish i would've just went to doing vaginoplasty and saving the $2600 the femilift costs, didnt' work for laxity, only for dryness. but i do hear its suppose to help with urinating problems

One week post-op follow-up
Dre619April 9, 2016
Had my one week post-op follow-up yesterday. Dr G. Said my concerns about stitch seperation were unnecessary - everything is healing beautifully! I am so happy! Much mess pain (I've only taken naproxen the last 3 days) and I can walk normally now. I started the arnica tablets late since they were on back order, but they bruising almost disappeared within one day of taking them. Scheduled my next follow-up and second Femi-lift treatment for 5/6/16.

I'm doing okay. I have an infection but taking antibiotics and hoping this clears up soon. Really happy with the way it looks and can't wait to be healthy! Best of luck to you. Don't be nervous-women are so tough!!!

awesome review! I am needing a rectocele repair and perineoplasty and have the surgery booked and I am wanting to know your opinion... do you think a 13 hr flight is doable a week after these procedures? I want to go to Thailand and get lipo in my downtime since I won't be able to do anything else :)

How’s recovery going? Did the holes finally close up in there own? I have surgery in a few weeks with the same dr for the same thing and I am so nervous! Your results look great! The stitch separation is scary so I’m glad to see your review and that it’s normal in case I have that.
Good to hear!
