I thought I was normal and all us females looked...

I thought I was normal and all us females looked the same but in my first relationship my boyfriend remarked on my big flaps,the only reference I had for other vulvas was [RS bleep] when I looked at the magazines I didn't resemble the women in them,years later I was dating a guy I worked with,I was approached by another guy in work for him to tell me I had big lips,obviously he had been told by the guy I was dating-the third time this humiliation happened I was told by another guy I was dating in front of a room full of people that I had dangly bits like a man,I did not like the way I looked for 14 years as felt like a freak.I scouted different surgeons and they were all qualified the same,so I went with the cheapest,he removed all my labia minora after asking me 3 times did I want it all of and I said no,he talked through the wedge method and said oh there's blood vessels there,I asked is that a problem how are you going the seal them,oh don't you worry about that he said,so he took a blow torch to my privates,I woke up,looked and was horrified!I could not walk as I was burned and in tremendous pain,he removed all my minora burned me,the skin over my clitoris is like a piece of chewing gum,I look even more abnormal now than before surgery,I had a problem with about a cm each side of skin,now I have issues with the way I look from my clitoris to my backside as whatever he used to burn the skin also burned right up to my butt,I have very visable scars,there is no symmetry and I look like Frankensteins wife,my head could not cope and I was off work for 12 months in total,I was on anti depressants for years after and I felt very suicidal,I still feel suicidal and every time I look,I feel worse,my head cant cope with it,if I had to do it all again I wouldnt even if it was done right,my sex life before this with big lips was great even if the boys I dated found me repulsive,now my life and sex life is ruined he burned me with I'm guessing something similiar to a blow torch so he has burned the outside and inside of my vagina, burning that sensitive area causes a lot of pain for sex also he has made the entrance to my vagina very small,not big enough for sex and I'm guessing not for child birth either,wish I never did it,some days feel like hanging myself.the skin he left is attached onto other skin I am not even anatomically correct,it so obvious I have had surgery, I said to him I don't want scars I don't want anyone to know,he didn't listen didn't care,my life and sex life is over, I strongly advise you not to get this procedure done,if you have a life and do not cry every day at the way you look,then you do not need this,as it can go wrong,I didn't even fit that possibility into the equation, I look like a freak! I went crying to another surgeon he performed a fat transfer to give the illusion I had minora,he told one of the nurses he would stand in court for me as it was a botched job,wish I never did it.

Oh my goodness. Feel so bad for you. Your problem is you dated idiots. I've been with many woman and all vaginas are different. I even like the ones with the lips. If you weren't in pain.... why would you let someone cut your vagina. That would be like me have a normal functioning penis, but if one of my girlfriends said it looked funny..... so be it. I'm not about to let someone cut it to make it look better. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And don't date anymore jerks.... what kind of moron tells people you have big lips..... I bet the look of your lips wasn't stopping him from having sex with you.

i think it is extremely important that before having this procedure done, basically any kind of plastic surgery, you do the research. reviews are a great start and experience and making a list of the questions and concerns before choosing a plastic surgeon. this guy sounds like he had no clue what the hell he was doing, but as the previous reviewer stated you just had some unlucky choices with immature men and i understand the embarrasment sometime but you have to take all the negative energy from this terrible experience and make it positive. nothings worth taking your life!

I am sorry for what you have been through, it sounds truly awful. I know it would be hard but have you thought of taking legal action against this doctor? You could ask for all your records and photos and contact a female solicitor specialising in medical negligence cases?

Yea I did do that,as humiliating as it was,the nurse in the second place encouraged me to go see a solicitor she said that the surgeon said it was a botched job and that he would stand for me in court-I said I didn't want to drag my privates through court she said it'll probably be settled out of court-I eventually went to a female solicitor, I was given an independent surgeon to go and see,the second surgeon I saw they did not ask for his view,I believed this was a clear cut case,I mean the standard of surgery was seriously very poor.total removal of minora burning the whole area resulting in tightening the area that stretches naturally and not to mention the scars and no care taken to match skin up to where it should go-so I saw a surgeon in London Harley st,the result came back that after surgery I now looked normal-astounded for the second time.I may look acceptable from afar but from close up you can notice-I have had a few encounters since the botched job,I was asked had I ever had plastic surgery not specifying where on my body and another stated that I was very tight which is true-all skin has been removed and burned therefore -which I thought would have been very basic knowledge for someone with little medical training let alone none-it will result in tightness.I've was devastated and astounded again,I honestly didn't get further support aside from the second place I went to who were great-by the time I went to see the surgeon the solicitor had referred me to the burned skin had obviously healed so I didn't look a bad but if the lea man can notice a fully trained surgeon should've been able to-I'm so angry and disappointed in myself and the level of treatment I received,I said to the original surgeon that although on the form I had filled in my personal details that I did not my doctor informed he said no problem youaase a mature woman,I discovered they informed my doctor so its held on my medical record,nothing I said was listened to,I wrote a complaint letter and said you told my doctor when assured you wouldnt and I expressed in the letter that I wouldnt have operated on a dog like thisI got a very off hand letter back saying I had written my doctors details and no explanation as to why the surgery was so bad,I wrontd another letter expressing my disgust and never heard anything back,I have been treated with nothing but disdain, do not get this done,it can go wrong and essentially what I learned nobody cares.do not do it.

I feel badly that it worked out poorly for you, but my surgery worked out awesome. This is a doctor selection and technique issue.

Still having down days but holding it together because life has to go on. My vagina looks very similar to yours as in... I had everything lopped out. Yours is a lot neater my clit is clumsy and looks ridiculous. Im not sure on your current situation regarding sex etc but i just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in feeling pain etc mine too has scarred in a way that childbirth would be impossible! If you ever need a vent im all ears. I hope your situation isnt making you feel lonely because you shouldnt be xxxxxx

In beyond angry about the whole thing, and unfortunately it preoccupies my mind every minute if every day, so it's very exhausting and depressing. I don't look cos that would make it worse, but I keep thinking and trying to get answers to why the surgeon took it all off, why did he do what he wanted to, when it wouldn't affect his life and he would never see me again whereas I was the one who has to live with it, and I didn't want this, I told him to go nowhere near my clitoris, he ignored that, I said I don't want any boyfriend to notice I've had surgery and want no notice scars. It was like he just did the complete opposite to what I asked. It's basic knowledge that a woman's vagina has to stretch for sex snd childbirth he burned the whole area and the long term pain as a result of doing that. A medical degree he is supposed to have, I'm finding it very hard to believe that. I don't like sex anymore, he's tightened the whole area and the skin is burned so it's like z Chinese burn in the vagina and I look awful, so unnatural and weird. I am still beyond gutted and in a state of bewilderment still but as you say life goes on and I try and be strong but I do really miss sex so much. I do all the serious stuff in life, go to work, pay the bills etc. I miss the good sex I used to have with my previously remarkable vulva. Anyway we must keep strong and not let it control us x

That really does look beautiful so clean and youthful, the pinkness from the burning looks like normal vagina skin of someone that naturally has really small minora. It's a look that pretty much all men will like.

honesty I don't think it looks bad. I'm getting mine done Soon.. Mine isn't even that long. My problem is that I am too dry during sex and I think it's because I'm insecure about my lips.

The surgeon who did mine actually teaches other surgeons how to do labiaplasty. He's an idiot who ruined my body. These doctors are terrible. No one should trust them. They ruin lives performing unnecessary procedures on vulnerable women. It's awful what they are doing and even more awful that they get away with it.

Doing the surgery for a guy was kinda dumb. I did the surgery for myself. No guy ever told me anything about my lips cuz they wanted to have sex. You dated nasty guys. Still here you are. I feel so badly for you because the surgery was so good for me. I had a different surgeon and by the looks of your pictures a different technique. I do hope you are able to obtain repair.

I did it for myself because I thought I was abnormal, admittedly after derogatory comments from guys, and I had developed a disliking for my excess skin, I just wanted to look normal like other girls. I wanted to look unremarkable. But I didn't bank on this, looking like a hideous scar riddled surgery freak, I hope I can get repaired but you can't produce skin where there is no skin and being burned it has damaged a lot of the area, a lot of scar tissue too, I can't comprehend how this happened, why a surgeon would think that a patient would think this was acceptable and be happy with it, I am completely baffled and truly disgusted.

Well I did it to feel pretty and I got my wish. No man was involved with my decision. Then again I didn't have a hack doctor. I do hope you are able to have your surgery fixed. :)

Well this may surprise you. I don't actually think it looks so bad as you think. U have indeed met some right rotters. Never a good idea to date work colleague. A decent respectable man will love u for who u are!! I'm glad I'm 50 odd so haven't lived in an era of perfect vaginas. We r all different n I'm sure you won't b alone in not liking your own body. Would like u to seek compensation God Bless n keep chin up. Xxxxx

Really- I think its horrific looking but I'm glad you say its not as bad as I think-Yea I did try and seek compensation the second surgeon said he would stand in court for me and that it was a botched job. I eventually went to a solicitor and they had their own surgeon they referred me to,his conclusion was that I now looked normal. I look far from normal though and its obvious that surgery has taken place. I strongly advise anyone thinking of getting this done to think again, I did not expect the result I got, and the surgeon has all the qualifications that you are to look for in a surgeon. If I had to do it all again and it was done right I wouldnt do it. I wish I didn't live in the perfect vagina era, what a pile of nonsense it is, if anyone is thinking of doing this, don't do it, unfortunately I have learned too late and the hard way. I was unfortunate and some women are happy with their results but it can go wrong and you cant turn the clock back.
