Could anyone help on who has had this surgery done in London? Whos the best surgeon? Thankyou!!
hi i had mine done yesterday. i always felt they were too long and like insides coming out but i went to the nhs and they said they were normal. so i had to go private and paid 1995. The days before my surgery i told some of my friends who told me i was being silly and made me realise that so many other women were like it but i thought i was one of the only ones. so id suggest speaking about it first.
The operation was really quick only took an hour. the surgeon marked where it was to be cut of and before i knew it i was awake again.
when i first looked i was a bit horrified as it looked bigger and was blue. when the surgeon came to see me he said he didnt remove anything from the cliteral hood as its too sensitive. but i am waiting for the smelling to go down. i am hoping it doesnt look all big by the clitoris and nothing else where.
its not that painfull more itchy than anything.. does anyone know if it goes down alot after the swelling. i am also worried that now so much skin has been taken away it wont feel as pleasurable for my future partner during sex.

I don't think there is any difference in the feeling for your partner so it shouldn't be problem.
I believe that's the same basic skin that my scrotum is made of. After the vasectomy my scrotum swelled up the size of a softball so I think you will probably notice a big difference when the swelling goes down.

hi. i want to have my labia reduceing it. How do you go about having it done on nhs? do you tell your gp first? how long from telling your gp till actually having the operation?
thanks for the advise :-) i am hopeing it goes down just have to wait and see. its swollen but i think if its supposed to me removed why is it still there.
yeh you go to your gp who will refer you to see a specialist and then you will recieve a letter to call up and book. then you go and speak to the specialst who will say if they think you need it done. They wouldn't do mine on the nhs.

I'm 17, and I have had two labial reductions on the NHS at separate times. The first one on my right side, was fine, healed within a week or so with no infection. My second on my left side did have complications. I was discharged, and an hour later, rushed back into A&E by ambulance because I was screaming in pain. The swelling had grown to 10 times the size in less than an hour, and the pain was awful. This was due to an hemotoma/internal bleed, which had to be drained. Its 4/5days later, the swelling has reduced to about 3 times the size, I have black bruising all over my public region, and still some blood. I have been told everything will look fine in a few weeks, fingers crossed.
how old do you have to be to get this operation done on the nhs?
I had my labia reduction surgery yesterday. Went under at 2:00pm and woke up 3:30pm - woke up with the worst pain but now it's not really bad. Was just wondering how long the swelling takes to go down so you can see the real result ?
oh and to sarahjones, you can have it at any age I think. I'm 18 but was referred at 17 - but my age never really came into it, check with your GP but i'm sure it won't be a problem!

HI EVERY ONE IVE ALREADY POSTED A MESSAGE BUT 4GOT TO ADD IM IN THE AREA OF CARDIFF - DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY FAB SURGEONS IN THIS AREA ????
Hi, I have really bad problems with my labia which cause me pain daily. I went to see my GP who wasn't particularly helpful but did refer me to the specialist and I got a letter accepting me for an appointment roughly 18 weeks later. Now I am waiting to recieve a letter to get an appointment with the gyneocologist on the NHS which i've been told will arrive at the end of this month. I was wondering for anyone that has had this procedure done on the NHS, how long the wait was from when you met with the consultant to the actual surgery itself? Any insight would be really appreciated!!
I had looked into labia reduction for a very long time. I hated my long dangling lips that hung out. It made getting undressed uncomfortable and when having sex. I priced the procedure for years and had consultations. The price was high and that was something I really couldn't imagine affording at the time. Finally I went to my gyno and told him my concern and how I was interested in the procedure. Unknowingly there was a doctor there that preformed the surgery so I quickly setup an appt to meet with him. After meeting with him he told me how easy of a procedure it was and and made me feel at ease. I also was interested if my medicaid would cover any of the cost and he coded the procedure to where it payed for the entire thing. After finding this out I made my surgery date not even 2 weeks later.
I went in that afternoon and was not put to sleep but heavily sedated. I remember laying on the operating table and the nurse giving me my medicine and then waking up. I didnt feel too much pain after and started taking percocets for pain and spraying dermoplast. I had used this after i had my son and i remember it helping the burning and itch. Im going on my 4th day and it's been an uncomfortable experience. Im constantly putting an ice pack on which seems to help the most with the itching and pain. Ive been terrified to look down there and check out things but I finally did last night to make sure I hadnt broke my stiches. I was freaked out by how bruised everything was and how large my clit had gotten. I also had the bumps on one side of my clit that I was nervous about. After searching online I had read its normal and its the sutures. ( i sure hope so ) Im also a lil worried they cut too much off but it's still early and there is too much swelling to jump to conclusions. Ive read good and bad post op stories and Im hoping for a happy ending to mine.
I also started using neosporin spray. I rinse every time I use the bathroom and just purchased today betadine to rinse with also.
Along with taking vitamins and eating good. Im searching stores now for arnica tablets that I hear helps a bunch with the swelling.
So for the time being Im just taking it easy and trying to stay off my feet. Keeping my fingers crossed that I heal quickly and have the outcome I wanted. :-)

Hi I am also new to all of this!!
I am considered surgery but never been to a see anyone other than my local gp who informed me that there was nothing abnormal about me but due to my own research i know its larger than average. I would like to know how much people paid and maybe some doctors names in the uk.
Hope all goes well with those people still in pain

Hi
I'm 18 and recently learned that not only am i not a freak,but there's surgery to help. I'm still a virgin,and refused to even let a guy touch me or see me in anything less than pants cause I'm terrified they'd freak. I won't even wear bathing suits because people can see a lump there since it hangs lower than the rest..of down there.I'll wear tops and jean shorts because I'm so self concious. I have nightmares and cry a lot because I feel I'm ugly.I hate the way it looks. I like the rest of my body, I'd be okay with being a nudist even, except..THAT. It causes discomfort and I can't wear a lot of things that I really want to wear because it's too tight and uncomfortable there. I have to readjust myself when it gets too bunched.It's been this way for as long as I can remember and I don't want to go into my family life,but it has caused my mother to call my names (s***,s***k,ext.) because of it and it just really upsets me. I've been seriously depressed several times by this,and I'm scared to get too attatched in a relationship because when they want to move onward with our relationship, I run away so they don't see and break up with me. I've read on here some guys like it?? I've never heard of that before though. And I don't want this just because of a guy, but because it's extremely uncomfortable and causes depression. I've only been to our local health department and they didn't say anything about it, but I was terrified even then to show anyone. Thing is, I haven't been allowed a job while I was in school,now that I've graduated,i can't find a job to start saving and I havent talked to anyone about insurance because i thought they wouldnt cover it and im scared when i get a job that i wouldnt get time off,but i see others have. Does everyone on the job know why? I've been determined to save(which will take years,when i DO get a job) to get this surgery,but some of these stories are really scarying me. The closest one to me is in georgia(a state away) and i dont know whos good at this and who isn't. I have no idea where to go or what to do. Will the health department people know and help or do i have to go to a for real doctor? Where do I start??? Please, I need advice, I REALLY need this surgery. If not, I think marraige is marked off my list on what i'll do in life and i'll just live in discomfort and depression..which is NOT something I want to do, i've been in depression most of my life, for this reason and many others. I don't need this added.
