1 out of 3 Surgeries for my Mama Makeover Journey
I am 33 and a very proud mother
Surgeries have been Labiaplasty
Following will be Breast & Gluteal(buttock) Implants
Key Points will be
1.) The time of waiting from giving birth to the start of surgery
2.) Interviewing surgeons, super important
3.) Labiaplasty experience (1 out of 3 surgeries i will be receiving)
4.) Patient Suggestions for Recovering from Labiaplasty
5.) Reasons I am getting these surgeries, sometimes it would be nice to just say "because I want them" my reason goes a little deeper so enjoy
1.) I WAITED 2 YEARS POST BIRTH & KNOWING DONE HAVING ANYMORE CHILDREN
I waited until I knew I was done having children to start my "mama makeover"
Knew what I wanted & I waited about 2 years post from giving labor recommended by my ob. This was for hormone & body reasons. I was informed it takes about 2 years for a persons body & hormones to regulate after this time period per my OB of about 12 years.
2.) INTERVIEWING SURGEONS
Started my journey gaining information on my exact wants/goals of surgeries & then started shopping around for surgeons probably 6 months after giving birth.
Dr. Alex Colque was my choice out of 5 surgeons I interviewed, almost 6 but I thought I interviewed enough and made a good choice for good reasons.
I based my decision on our communication, similar interest of the goals to meet, fair financial charge, office/staff/self presentation, & answering my personal + fda consult questions I looked up online through fda.gov
A huge plus is that I was impressed there was not a pressure of feeling rushed by Dr. Alex Colque. Yet, I still felt a respect of my business as a patient was wanted. A very good balance of professionalism if you ask me.
3.) LABIAPLASTY YES WORTH IT & HERE IS WHY
Now as a mama of almost a 3 and 8 year old I could not plunge right into all 3 of my surgeries, especially with the 3 year old.
I did the labiaplasy and it was a very successful surgery. I requested for a natural look. I do not have access to add photos at this very moment I just want to say
YES This surgery is worth it
I went from age 33 embarrassed of having V-Lips hanging from my upper valva by my clitoris and hung between my legs. I now have no hanging, may I say it just looks amazingly beautiful.
Yes, I will admit my entire labia, even around my clitoris area in my opinion does look better than even my natural look yet still looks natural
#amazing
4.) MY PERSONAL "PATIENT SUGGESTIONS" FOR LABIAPLASTY RECOVERY BUT STILL FOLLOW YOUR SURGEONS DIRECTION
I recommend 3 days off of work
On the fourth day I walk at my job for 5 hours and then sit for about 3 hours it was uncomfortable but tolerable.
Now, I did the same thing on the third day post op, I handled it but I would not recommend working on the third day.
dermaplast spray took care of any itching I had within the first 7-10 days icing took care of the bruising 4-7 days
I still use a wipe after urinating to keep area clean because most sutures have dissolve yet some are still present & I am at 26 days post operation
5.) MY EXTENDED REASONS FOR SURGERIES OTHER THAN BECAUSE I WANTED THESE SURGERIES JUST FOR ME
Labiaplasty & Breast I felt needed to be done to get back to my natural prebirth body.
My labia needed a "facelift" after birthing my prodigies LoL
High school I held 32DDs with a petite body type.
Through my pregnancies I held this size if not larger. However, breast were like balloons and inflated/deflated where now I am barely an A & uncomfortable in more than one way.
The gluteal implants, well, that is more of a personal want. I have wanted gluteal implants most of my life. I lift weights on a regular & I need to concentrate more on my other body parts otherwise I know all these squats with minimal results will hurt other body parts.
That is That
