I have been reading alot about labiaplasty and its something I really am considering. At being only 23 I want to feel confident down there. My ex never said anything when we were together. But for my own personal confidence I would like it fixed. It also gets annoying when I wear underwear. Is it weird to have only one side that needs it done? The other side of my labia is perfectly fine. Having this thing hanging down there is really making me insecure down there. This surgery better be worth it. Would insurance cover this perhaps if my doctor reffered me?

I felt like I was different having one side be significantly longer than the other, but I see that's not the case anymore!

Overall, everything went well. The recovery was better than I anticipated. That being said, I do have imperfections that have bothered me a bit, but as time goes on it bothers me less and less. I don't know if I'll have any touch ups later on. But right now I'm okay with where I am. I certainly was far from perfect before and was horribly self conscious. The surgery has definitely helped the physical pain I had while helping my self confidence too. I documented everything in my profile, if you are interested. I hope you keep us updated through your journey.

I read your review. I totally understand the self confidence issue. The best way to look at it is you're going forward not backwards with how you're feeling. One day at a time, self love is important and can be difficult especially in the world we live in where perfection is advertised everywhere. I think your results look wonderful. I hope you continue to gain confidence and live each day with happiness. I will post my pictures as soon as my surgery is finished. Take care:)

Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it. My self consciousness has definitely improved since my surgery. I will never regret having my labiaplasty. My I my regret is waiting so long. I've been to all the large labia websites where there is photo after photo of totally normal women with larger labia who could just love it and rock it. I wish I could've been one of those ladies. I tried for 20 years. Nothing else could help my self confidence. While there are always jokes about men's length/size, how many of them let that stop them from having sex? I've never heard of one guy, yet how many women push men away because of their fear of being abnormal? Like you said, we live in a world where perfection is advertised. I think labiaplasty now is like where boob jobs were 20 years ago. Women who were shamed because they couldn't love the breasts they had. I see on some sites where women are shaming other women for having labiaplasty and equating it to genital mutilation. To me, it's so different with labiaplasty. With boob jobs (nose jobs, or anything outward), usually the whole world you come into contact with would see the results of your surgery (whether they knew you had surgery or not). With labiaplasty, only the people with whom you are most intimate would see your results. I'm not judging motivations, but to me labiaplasty is a much more personal and emotional decision than many give credit for. At any rate, I'm feeling good now and I hope you soon will feel your self confidence improve also.

I am looking into booking a consult w Dr lau. He seems like the best choice! Can you pls tell me what your experience was like and how much it cost?
I hope everything went well!

I highly suggest you book with him! The whole experience was very positive. He clearly went over everything with me before the procedure. Ask more about my history etc. He is very kind and great at what he does. Very caring towards me as the patient. During the surgery his assistant was beside me the whole time. I Did not feel anything and it was local anesthetic. I had one sided labiaplasty..which was 1350 US dollars. Obviously cost more for me as I am from Canada and our dollar is terrible. So around 1850 Canadian after everything. I am happy with how it went. Will be posting more pictures as the swelling goes down

I'm so glad to hear everything went well! It sounds like he lived up to his reputation :)
Thanks for the feedback!
