The big reveal
Flower223April 28, 2016
Finallyyyy sent the boyfriend some pics because he was being a big baby about not getting anything in so long. Didn't even notice a difference! Or if he did, he didn't mention anything. It's nice to be able to show off without strategically tucking my "flaps" under my fingers though haha
Everything is still doing pretty well, and things are still improving
My scar tissue has all softened and is now indistinguishable from the rest of my labia. My separation is still there but it's much shallower, it's making slow but steady progress. You can't really see it in the pictures though, but I can feel it very prominently with my fingers or if I look in good lighting. Just needs some more time.
I'm seeing my boyfriend at the very end of may so hopefully 4 and a half weeks more is enough for everything to be all healed!
I'm also including some bonus before pics, I honestly forgot how bad it really was!
They were almost 2 inches long when at rest and could stretch to almost 4 inches if I pulled on them! Talk about gross
It's amazing not having any discomfort from my labia becoming twisted or sat on
Ive also had to relearn how to wipe after I pee? Before I would have to pull this way and that way to make sure nothing was lingering in my folds, but now I can just dab
Shaving is a little more difficult though. I used to pull my labia minora over to the side so I could smooth out the crease between the minora and majora to shave in that spot more thoroughly, but I can't do that anymore. I just have to be more careful now

Hi Flower223,
I have a consultation scheduled with Dr. Davison. After having the procedure done by him a while ago would you still recommend him? How long did it take before you felt comfortable to walk around or go back to work/school?
Thanks!

I would still highly recommend him. Getting my labiaplasty with Dr davison has honestly changed my life. He really takes care to produce the best work he possibly can.
IDEALLY I would say it's best to have 2 weeks off to recover
The less you move the less likely you are to pop a stitch and mess up your results
But some people are able to go back to work after just a few days. You won't feel any pain after 2 days, but you have to be very mindful of what's going on down there. I went back after a week and a half and that was the perfect amount of time for me, I felt that my situation down there had settled and most swelling had gone down. Until I squatted to pick something up and felt a pop, and that is how separations are born lol

7 and a half weeks?
Flower223April 17, 2016
It's been a while since I've updated, everything is still looking pretty much the same
My separation is still there, still healing. It feels less deep now though. I can't literally stick my finger inside of it anymore haha
Still no pain
It also feels like my incision lines are softening and that makes me happy. You can see the lines where my incisions were but I'm pretty confident they'll fade out with the surrounding tissue and even out. Kind of like when you get your wisdom teeth pulled, you get your stitches out and there's, for lack of a better description, a divit on the gum that feels like a butt crack.
Months, years later you can't see or feel where your wisdom teeth were taken
I've heard that vaginal tissue heals a lot like the insides of your mouth, so thinking of it that way is helping me.
I think where the big separation is there will probably be a wider scar, I think it will probably level out and scar instead of closing. Its all just a waiting game at this point
I'm still very happy with my results and am very glad I chose Dr davison last minute
I truely believe he is someone you can trust your body with without waking up botched
He cares about your wants and needs, and has the skill to execute it in the best looking way possible. Plus I found him to be more affordable than anyone else in my region performing a wedge labiaplasty. Instead of tacking on 500 bucks here and 500 there he seems to use a pretty flat rate, any alteration your hood might need seems to be included, which I liked because I was still indecisive on how I wanted my lateral hood tissue dealt with. If youre anywhere in his general area I highly recommend him and his staff :)

Hey Flower, glad to hear things are going well! Hopefully that pesky separation will heal quickly. I'm sure as the weeks go by, you'll feel even more and more happy with your results. It took me a little while to get past some of the imperfections I had, but there was just a point where I got over it. I do know that shaving completely really helped with that. I had never totally shaved before my surgery and I guess with my lips being smaller, I just really felt good about myself. And...normal! It's nice not being self conscience anymore about my lady parts! I'm not in a relationship, so my confidence doesn't have to do with a guys opinion. I guess I'm glad for that because this was my issue for so long and I needed to get over these issues on my own. Now that I'm feeling good, I wouldn't mind finding a nice guy to...explore with. I hope things have gone well with you and your boyfriend. I think you said you would surprise him, so I hope that it's gone well for you. I wish I had done this when I was your age, yet there's no going back. Time to move forward. I'm so glad to have the ladies here because you all understand what it's like...both before and after :)

I've always liked shaving, I'm just so lazy haha. It just feels cleaner and less messy looking, especially after labiaplasty. It will nice to show off how neat everything is now :)
I still haven't done the big reveal to the bf yet, he's visiting next month and I still haven't shown pictures
I still wanna let the separation heal up a bit more before I show, do you think it looks very obvious?

Barely obvious. I could only see it one one pic and wouldn't have noticed in the others if you hadn't mentioned it. I think in a month neither you or your boyfriend will be able to see that spot. He'll just be so glad to have his woman next to him and her new lady so he'll never even notice a small area like that, even if still visible. I think you'll be good to go and I hope you can really enjoy your time with him.
Also, what did you tell your work to get time off?
Regards,
K.
For time off of work I just told my supervisor that I was having a minor surgery. He didn't ask any questions and was very understanding, even when I had to extend it. If anyone asks deeper just say "girl stuff" thatll shut them up haha
I've heard of other girls using "I got a little cyst removed" as an excuse too.
For family I just told them I hurt my hip and that's why I was waddling
This is the method I'm having done too. I haven't got a surgery date yet, but my surgeon prefer General Anesthetic (Which i'm terrified about!) but hopefully it goes as well as yours :)
I think it's the fact I'm not telling a single soul, scares me a little.
Thanks again,
K x
