As you can see in the photo, the swelling has subsided immensely! Every day my labia are retuning to a normal size and I'm seeing results I am truly happy with! I've noticed that I split a stitch on either side however, my surgeon said its nothing to worry about and will heal on its own! Has anyone also had this experience? How can I ensure there won't be a scar left?

My surgeon also says I'm still very swollen - can't wait for these next few weeks to fly by. Starting feel like it really was worth it!

How are you doing? Are you going to post more progress pictures? I also had a stitch split, which was actually bigger than yours, and it healed to be barely noticeable unless I hold a magnifying mirror up to it, so I'd say you'll be fine!

How did you end up looking! I look somewhat similar to you and I'm just interested how much the swelling went down? Will you post an update pic?

Hi there! I am a year post op and i thought I could give you some insight. I too wanted to find a doctor close to me and chose the one that was most convenient. I had horrible pain during the surgery and post op. I took almost double the time to heal. I was so bruised and swollen I was terrified. My Labiaplasty is what could be considered botched. My surgeon completely removed my labia. I haven't updated my own profile in quite some time, but seeing your post maybe I shall. Although my experience was tremendously horrifying, I'm living with my results. I still have stings of pain from time to time but ultimately what's done is done. My swelling did subside and my results were better they I initially considered post op. Complications such as this can happen and it can take more time to heal for some. This will not be your result and remaining positive is hard but very important

Day 6 - Happy!

After visiting my surgeon to get the hematoma drained, the swelling has started to go down significantly every day! Such an exciting process, I am already loving what I see and can't wait for the next few weeks to bring an even better final result. The stitches have started to sting and burn a little, but nothing too hard to handle. I'm also able to get up and walk around much easier now. Hoping that the skin on the bottom of my labia will go back to normal size but the "balloons" went away overnight! Very relieved!

I don't think yours was that bad to begin with. How is your healing coming along? Just had mine done too, not as swollen as you but feel very sore, especially when walking about. Good luck with the healing :)

The healing is going much better! It's almost as if on Day 5 you wake up and the swelling as decided to go down over night! The stitches are starting to hurt a little now but I'm starting to get a glimpse of the end result and loving it! How far into your recovery are ? Hope it's going well :)

Same as yours, it's my fifth day today post operation. Swelling induced lots of pain since second day of post-op and i am not sure it's getting smaller. When are you gonna take the stitches out? My doctor said he's gonna take them out on 7th day. But i am not sure the incision will be healed enough to take the stitches out. Hope you are recovering better day by day. It's difficult to wait to become healed good...

Apparently my stitches are going to dissolve within a week! Although my swelling has gone down significantly, there is still lots of dried blood under my incision line that aren't helping the healing process. The fifth day seems to be a turning point! Over the past few hours my swell has gone down significantly! With much relief! I hope yours is going well too! :) Are your stitches starting to poke out and hurt at all ?
