Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

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 :)

Bleeding
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?
Provider Review
Dr. Temmen was a wonderful doctor. She even came in on one of her days off after my surgery to help calm my nerves because I was worried about the swelling. She's talented and very personable. She always remembered pieces of information about my life that I told her at previous appointments even if it was a month prior. I would definitely definitely recommend her. I am glad that I had my surgery with her.
