I have been researching and contemplating getting a labiaplasty for many, many years. I have always been extremely self conscious of my labia minora sticking out and decided to start researching a surgeon to do this procedure. I live in Ontario Canada and have been researching surgeons for quite some time and all of the different techniques performed. My top two picks were Dr Leila Kasrai and Dr Martin Jugenburg. My first consult was with Dr Kasrai. She asked me about my concerns and did an examination and made he hold a mirror up to the area. I asked her what techniques she recommended, ie. trim or wedge? She said she would essentially decide what techniques would be used the day of the procedure. I did not feel comfortable with that response. I thought well you should give me an idea here at my consult. The consult felt somewhat rushed, I have heard really great things about Dr Kasrai but my consult did not leave me feeling that impressed. On another note as I had to travel to Toronto, I decided to try botox. I'm 34 and look pretty young still but started noticing some lines appearing about my eyebrows. Dr Kasrai administered 6 units of Botox in my forehead which is very little but she stated that she likes to start small which I really appreciate, almost three months later it looks great and you can't tell that I have Botox ! So I had my consult with Dr Martin Jugenburg a few weeks later at the Toronto Cosmetic Clinic. The consult went well, he examined my labia and he recommended a trim with an anterior extension! The anterior extension means I had more tissue closer to the clit area but did not receive a clitoral unhooding. I just had a lot of tissue! The consult was about 25 minutes in length, his assistant was in the room and she was very nice! Kim who is the RN patient coordinator I believe was awesome and was attentive to my needs and countless emails and phone calls prior to the procedure. I decided to choose dr Jugenburg as he had a lot of good reviews and I felt more comfortable with him. He also shows you his before abs after photos at the consult.He is nice , but not too overly friendly but I'm not paying him for his personality rather his skills which I feel are Speak for themselves if you read all of his reviews online. So I booked my procedure on November 9, 2016. I flew in from out out of town via porter which is very close to the clinic. My procedure was booked for 5pm, but was told to come to the office at 4pm. I essentially just sat around . I had the procedure around 530 or so and then there was the freezing! The freezing was the worst part, I screamed a few times, it's just a really weird pain I guess because perhaps it hits your nerves. Once the freezing took effect I felt nothing! The procedure took about 30 minutes or so and I sat in recovery for about 30 minutes. His nurse Jessica was great and helped and answered all of my questions. So I left clinic shortly after 7pm and headed to Porter Airport to travel home! The clinic recommended to travel home the same night as the freezing is still in effect. I didn't feel any pain just kind of loopy from the adavan I took prior to surgery. My flight was at 845pm which is a two hour flight home and the pain started around 930 and it was very uncomfortable. I could not wait to get home! I was prescribed Percocet and Tylenol 3. I took a t3 on the flight but it did nothing, took a percoset at the end of the flight and it definitely took the edge off but I woke up today feeling very nauseous from the Percocets. Today I am going to try to stick to T3 because I cannot handle the nausea. I'm just icing a lot which helps and laying in my couch taking it easy! I feel very tired today! I will post photos soon!!!

So today it day 2 after my labiaplasty procedure. I have attached before pictures and a picture from today. I contacted the clinic and sent them a photo as I saw som small ripping on my left side as I thought a stitch may have fallen out. The clinic told me I am healing perfectly and the rippling is due to swelling! I'm vety sore and itchy today and not on antibiotics. I guess being itchy is a part of the healing process!

I hope you're healing well. I think you're very brave. Just wondering if you have given birth before hence the condition of the labia. I have 2 kids and now mine doesn't look as pretty and not sure what to do :). Keep us posted. Would love to keep seeing result

Hi , no I do not have children and that's what the surgeon asked me as well. However he told me I had a lot of scar tissue and the only thing I can think of would have been when I was 5 years old I fell off my kitchen counter directly onto an open bottom kitchen door and shattered my vagina. I wil be posting day by day pics and updated as this site really helped me make my decision. I had thought about this surgery for ten years snd spent countless hours researching . I'm happy it's done, I feel what was worse is the lead up to the surgery I was so stressed but I know it's going to make me happier and less self conscious.

Day 3 post op labiaplasty
minou333November 12, 2016
Day 3 and obviously still tender but I have not taken any pain meds today! However I am extremely itchy and I'm pretty sure I do not have a yeast infection as dr Jugenburg does not prescribe antibiotics. I sent a photo yesterday to the clinic as I noticed rippling but they said I'm healing perfectly thus far and it's from the swelling! Prior to the surgery I started taking arnica Montana and bromealin that are supplements you can purchase at health food store for bruising and swelling! My sister brought me some Benadryl to hopefully help with the itch and icing also helps.
