Day 18

Well today marks day 18 post labiaplasty. I just got my period yesterday so have been using a pad which feels really uncomfortable. I noticed a few days back that it appeared one of my stitches split, of course it was the day after my post op with my surgeon in which I had to fly to Toronto. My lovely nurse Kim said it will heal on its own by " second intention healing" and told me to take it easy and keep the area clean. Dr J was not in the office that day but she will show him my photos tommorow. I'm still taking antibiotics and I am so itchy again. I don't know if I have a yeast infection or this is part of healing. It I am going to go buy a oral yeast pill. Yesterday was very uncomfortable as I was so itchy, on my period and was experiencing " electric Shock " pangs in that area, allegedly this is nerve regeneration/healing but yikes. A few days I will be 3 weeks post op, to be truthful I'm tired and want to feel normal again but I know I have to be patient! I will post a picture when my period finishes.

I saw my surgeon today two weeks after my labiaplasty. He said I am healing well and seemed to be pleased with the results. If all is well in two weeks I will send him a photo rather than make another lengthy snd expensive trip to attend the out of town appointment. I am still itchy on and off but he said it's a part of the healing process! Cannot wait until the stitches start dissolving! My labia is very firm at the moment and my outer labia still feel firmer than normal! I guess it's only been 2 weeks !!!

I'm really glad that your check up visit to the surgeon went well and that you may be able to do the next check up without a visit. That in itself shows how well you're healing. It certainly looks from the photos like the swelling is going down. Actually you're looking fantastic: no more protruding labia minora.
If you've already thought about the following, I apologise in advance.
Everything you say in your posts makes sense. If you've ever cut a finger on a piece of paper you'll know how sore it is for weeks, and how whatever you do you manage to regularly catch that cut on something and ouch. Well, you've has a specialist surgeon perform precision surgery with a very sharp knife on your labia: he's carefully cut away the skin and tissue that were causing you huge problems. It's therefore likely that you'll be feeling itchy, uncomfortable and swollen for a little while as your body recovers. After all, you've had surgery performed between your legs, so whatever you do there'll be pressure on your healing labia. Labiaplasty may be deemed minor surgery to a surgeon, but to you it most certainly isn't, which is why unfortunately there are pains before your labia are settled and you can enjoy being as you want. Your emotional pains are again understandable because you've had surgery through which parts of skin and tissue were removed, so a part of you has changed, for the better, but changed nonetheless.
You really are currently looking good, well done.
I hope you manage to keep your spirits up: if you get down maybe try and think of just how uncomfortable you were, how much better you generally feel, how much better you look already, it's early days and you'll feel and look better as time goes on. Emotionally fluctuating up and down after surgery is normal.
I wish continued good physical healing to you and emotional betterment.

May I thank you for replying, I very much appreciate that.
I forgot to say that I'm glad the Botox injections had the effect you wanted. I wonder now, and it may sound a bit wacky, as you feel far more comfortable and at ease with your labia and thus less stressed, if subconsciously your facial muscles will be more relaxed and consequently worry lines won't appear above your eyebrows.
I reckon you could be in for a bonus from your brave decision to have labiaplasty.
Well done, keep healing.
