Im 14 years old and I had the surgery for a few reasons. My large labia would show through my swimsuit, it was uncomfortable during gymnastics/cheer, and it lowered my self esteem. I got it done a day or two after school got out on 5/31/11. The first 5 days were terrible but after that it got better. When I woke up on 6/11/11 I saw a significant improvement in my appearance (swelling went down). But I still have trouble wearing underwear and I have to wear skirts when I leave the house (which I don't do that often.) I'm feeling sad because its like Im missing my summer. How long did you take to recover to wear clothes and go outside. My doctor told me 6 to 8 weeks for Cheer and Gymnastics, but he said I could return to wearing pants and underwear and going outside when I personally felt better.

For recovery I lie down a lot, and I used ice on the first 3 or 4 days because my doctor said too. When were you guys able to make plans and do stuff again? Also to anyone who wants the surgery, you should remove your hair down there first it makes everything easier.Please tell me anything you can about recovery. Thanks.
