Hi there, i have just been to my docs about this problem.
I am getting referred to someone about maybe getting this done.
I feel sooo much better having read this topic, as i hadnt heard of anyone having one done on the NHS.
How long did you all have to wait for your operation?

Hi, I had a labiaplasty procedure last year as they were very long and uncomfortable. It was an incredibly painful process, couldn't walk for almost 2 weeks and even then no knees together for a month! Basically I am discouraging anyone considering it.
I almost have no labia on one side (cant even grip with fingers) and it has made my clitoris look like it stands on its own like a tiny penis. When I 'tried out' my new look the response was 'WHAT HAPPENED!'. I am so devastated, they took too much. It looks like chunks of meat chewed through. My sex life is pretty non-existent as I am so embarrassed.
He was a very qualified recommended plastic surgeon too.
There is nothing that can be done. I wish I had my ugly dangling labia back the way it was.

Hello. I'm 18 and just had labia reduction surgery 3 days ago. I'm still swollen and its starting to itch.
It looks like it will look great when its healed but its starting to cause a lot of discomfort. I'm also having discharge, although seems normal.
I'm also not sure if I should wear underwear of keep on skirts to let it breathe. I feel uncomfortable unless I'm on my back, touching nothing.
Anyone else go through this?

Oh my God, this is really awful, I really thought I was the only one, I too wish I had (what i thought) my ugly inner labia back, my fully qualified surgeon (FRCS) also took all my labia minora off, which is what I did not ask for- who in their right mind would do that. A doctor I talked to said 'but there is no feeling in that area so don't worry', WHAT!! this is 2007 & doctors are not aware that the minora is sensitive & gives a lot of pleasure. I am absolutely gutted and really would not advise anyone to get this done, I suffer from depression now & I have no life. I had a very busy lifestyle before I used to go to the gym, salsa dancing, swimming, aerobics etc. When this happened I felt as if I was hit by a truck & haven't recovered. If you do not cry every day over the way you look & you have a good sex life-don't get it done because now I cry almost daily, no exaggeration & I don't have a life let alone sex life. I am sad to read that you like others on this site have had a botch job surgery like myself, because I know what you are going through mentally & it is difficult. So anyone reading this- heed the good advice and do not get this labioplasty/labiaplasty done apart from the risk of it going wrong, if it does go right you are still losing sensative sexual tissue, you should never mess with this-DON'T DO IT.
although right now im uncomfortable i think it will be for the best. dear god i hope nothing goes wrong though like with so many who have posted. mine was different though, because i had a cyst which left excess skin, so they knew exactly what to take off. im still a little worried though and am gonna look into this more. i think you may be overreacting. i dont think people notice anyones labias and you should go out dancing, swimming, etc, as long as youre not in pain or anything.
hi...im 18 and had labia minora...to be honest i had a really good experience and im so much happier then before....i didnt get much removed so i wanted to do another surgery maybe to get more removed but im just really scared from surgeries but everything went fine with me and im very happy i went ahead and had this done. good luck to everyone, this is my experince and im very pleased with it

Well that was me who posted above about my op on the 29th.
Was only meant to be in for the day but ended up in for 5 days was one thing after another.
From going down to theatre to being back on the ward was about a hour, it hasnt really been sore when im lying down its just when i walk or anything touches the area.
Oh my god the brusing and swelling was unbeliable. Silly me just thought there would be stitches and blood - so i cried when i first saw it.
Bruises and swelling are going down now and i can see a difference :-)
Good Luck to everyone who is due to have the op, make sure you have plenty of rest.
Ps, i had mine done on the NHS.

I have just had various surgery including posterior anterior repair and a labia reduction. All I can say is that to be rid of those horrible flappy things is great!!! I feel like I have a fanny facelift!!! Its only 2 1/2 weeks and still sore looks quite strange but there is nothing hanging out anymore!! Fantastic!!! Im not sure if how the soreness and stiches will end and have had 3 weeks of work so far. Not sure about how successful the rest of it is as its 6 weeks until sex but just to look at it is great! No more embarrassment taking my lover or lovers to bed!! Does it stop being sore and hard!! The labia feels quite hard at the moment and im hoping that that will soften up!
I had a labial reduction on the NHS via my GP, he only agreed to surgery due to pain experienced with sitting, exercise and sexual intercourse. It would not have been done purely for cosmetic/appearance reasons. Im 33 and was born with large labia. It has not only caused physical pain, but massive emotional pain and low self esteem. No one ever told me something could be done to help. But please ask..it can and should be done on NHS.
I was in theatre for 2 hours as a day case. The surgeon was very reassuring and explained it was one of the most painful operations for some people..how true. It was agony, but please ask for lignocaine gel post op, as it numbs everything nicely (got mine 4 weeks post op!) Initially it looks awful..really swollen and bruised and the stitches pull alot (recommend a complete waxing pre op!) sleep is disturbed, and walking and sitting is sore for a while. No sex for 6 weeks..
But now.. well.. i no longer have big flappy labia, its much neater, and nothing catches on my clothing. I wish they were more 'tucked away' still, but in all honesty, its far better than it was. just make sure your surgeon has performed this many times before you sign up, as it is a developing proceedure.

I'm seventeen and i had labia reduction when i was sixteen- twice. it doesn't look abnormal, and it barely did before, but i feel them still. The reason i got the surgeries was because i wanted the feeling to go away, but i think my doctor focused more on the aesthetics. so my right side still sticks out a little bit, not noticeably. i don't care if they slice off the whole thing, i just don't want to feel them anymore!!! So, with that being said, do you think it's possibly that they could keep growing, or just that a surgeon specializing in that field alone could screw up twice?
Hi everyone, I am planning on getting the surgery done this summer and i am so scared. They really do not bother me but, i get self concience during intercourse. I have a app. with my GYN on the 23rd, hopefully she will help me get this things removed once and for all. I do not know if this is the right decision.
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know a good surgeon they could recommend??
I'm a bit scared by some of your posts but I really want to get it done as I can't take the embarassment anymore.
I have enlarged labia minora due to childbirth - it was afterwards that I noticed it got a lot worse.
But does it take away the senstivity for sex? Also is there a way to enlarge the outside labia so that the clitoris doesn't look like it hangs down?? Does anybody know how to get that done,
Thank you!!!

I had labiaplasty about 1 month ago and I cannot begin to tell you all how much I regret it. I wish I could turn back time and knock some sense sense into myself. I'm unhappy with the results and feel more self conscious than before. I'm scared of being intimate with anyone because my sensation has changed. Although the labia are not like the clitoris, they do contribute to some sort of sensation down there. I'm scarred both physcially and emotionally and i am so disappointed in myself that I underwent such a procedure. It has changed my life and i'm only 24!
Every woman is different down there - I should've been content with what i had. There are so many illnesses and diseases out there in the world so I guess I'm disappointed that I was so caught up with how my labia appeared. I not only had the procedure done due to emotional issues - i also had some physical discomfort - but now looking back, it was discomfort that I could have lived with.
So please think again before getting such a procedure done - it's certainly not worth it. I think being a bit embarrassed or having slight chaffing/discomfort is a lot better than being in discomfort for the rest of your life. So Indie123 and everyone else who is considering this, please do not do it.
Just out of curiosity, do you guys live in the States - it appears that labiaplasty is very common in America - is it? I live in Australia and it is starting to become more common..
Anyway, is there someone out there who regrets this as much as I do?
