Slow Healing, Painful Recovery, But DEFINITELY Worth It

Final (?) Update

I’ve received some requests inquiring how my revision turned out, so I thought I’d post again.
Pros: I feel zero discomforting from running. I don’t have to readjust when I go on walks. My labia don’t get caught in the elastic of my panties (yes, that happened). I feel more self confident naked. New sexual partners have remarked how pretty my vulva is, but didn’t notice anything surgical (not intention of the surgery, but an added perk).
Cons:
1) As you can see in a picture I just uploaded, on the fold along the right side, there is a bit of pebbling from the stitches from the original surgery (revision was on the other side). I don’t love it, but it’s just cosmetic and that part is typically tucked into my labia majora.
2) I tend to orgasm while stimulating the left side of my clit. I’ve noticed since the revision on that side, after one orgasm in a day, the left side feels more numb and takes a day to feel less numb. This doesn’t happen if I stimulate the right side. It also doesn’t affect vaginal sensation. I didn’t notice this before the revision. Occasionally there is some slight pain to the internal area to the left of my vaginal opening during/after orgasm. Neither of these are major and may not even be related (although I didn’t notice them until after my revision), but they are worth noting. I could be still healing from the revision since it’s only been 6 months. My orgasms are still as strong as ever.
Am I glad that I did it? Yes. Definitely. Would I do it again? Probably. I’m starting to train for a marathon soon and it makes a world of difference in comfort. However, I sometimes still think of the pain of the original recovery and cringe (the revision wasn’t bad). I’m going to upload some more “befores” in the next post for comparison.
One last thing, as you can see, I didn’t have my clitoral hood touched (it still peaks out some). I don’t regret that decision. I never had a goal of having everything completely hidden (which may have not been even possible for my anatomy). My main goal with comfort, which I achieved :)

One more pro: I can be comfortable in tight fitting clothing for the first time in my memory. I have changed my clothing size (down a size) because tighter shorts now fit much better.

Bleeding
labia210December 29, 2017
I woke up this morning to some light bleeding and swelling from the revision site. I didn't expect this 3 weeks after the surgery. Today was more painful than at any point since the revision surgery. I babied it all day today. I'm traveling tomorrow, so hopefully it will be better after a good night of sleep. I wonder what caused the bleeding this late in the game when I thought my healing was going well?
