20 Years Old, Finally Did It, Scared I Made a Mistake? - Toronto, ON

Like everyone on here, I've wanted this procedure done since I was very young. Most of what I read on the internet talks about how awful it is that women who get labiaplasty are either doing it for other people or because of the influence of the [RS bleep] industry. However, I knew I wanted this surgery since before I was exposed to any of that. I'm sure all of the women on here will agree, we have our reasons and they're good.
I saved my money all summer, and as soon as I was back in the city for school I booked an appointment with the first surgeon that came up on google in my area. (Probably my first mistake). She did have lots of experience and her work was impressive. The surgery itself went really well, however I'm three days post-op and I just don't look like any of the other pictures I'm seeing on any recovery website at three days.
At the bottom of my incision line, there are two "balloons" that my surgeon said are a result of hematoma draining blood into them. Thus, they keep getting bigger and more painful. I'm scared they won't go away or will leave an awful scar.
On a positive note, besides the very first night when the IV wore off, I've felt literally no pain. I hope thats a good thing...
My doctor says with the hematoma I'll only need an extra week recovery. Just praying I haven't made a big mistake!

As my previous picture shows, I had some pretty bad hematoma's that were causing the area to be very swollen, and two "balloons" to form at the bottom of my incision. My surgeon told me to come in today to get them drained, so I did. I showed up to the clinic, my surgeon asked to take a look and was overwhemled by just how swollen my labia were, she said she'd never seen anything like it. They attempted to drain the hematoma but found there was actually no blood inside the incision, and that I was actually just swollen to an extreme extent. I was incredibly scared at this point, as no one could really tell me if this was going to heal okay. Luckily, over the past 6 hours, my swelling has gone down significantly. My surgeon attributed my rare amount of swelling to my lack of "pressure" during my first few days post-op, and the fact that I had an above average amount of tissue removed. Thus I decided to post a before photo to show you just how large my labia actually were!

Feeling much better about the surgery, even though my recovery will probably take an extra month...
