Labiaplasty Nightmare

totally UNTRUE. I had a labiaplasty as well as resurfacing and it looks epic and beautiful and I had ZERO problems because I went to the best surgeon in the world. People can do what ever they want, but it should not be because of a man. Usually "mutilated" results arise because of the lack of expertise of the surgeon. Red ALinsod is the best labia surgeon in the entire world. He teaches doctors all over the world how to do it the right way and the aesthetically beautiful way also. I originally had mine done because I was in discomfort. But I definitely will not lie and say that I didn't want it to look good. So I did MASSIVE research and found the pioneer of this procedure, the best surgeon and I look really beautiful, Not mutilated at all.

Hi, I would like to see the results. I had mine done in Toronto you can't tell I did anything to it either. But I would like to redue it, because on my left side there's a little bit of skin that is bothering me.

Hi so I'm thinking about having this surgery. Actually , I already have a date set and Everythig. It is one month away. I've done a lot of research on this topic, I've come across the bad and the good outcomes of this surgery. But unfortunately the bad outweighs the good for me. I have a great sex life, absolutely amazing. But like all of you I am embarrassed. I had a boyfriend for a while so that was great but I'm single now and truthfully feel like I can't move on for the reason that no one else will accept me for this. Crazy right. I'am self conscious about it because society sucks now a days. And this has made me miserable about myself. I feel limited with what I can wear, bathing suits and tight pants because its noticeable! But truthfully I feel a lot of discomfort. Which is a main reason as to why im going to move forward with the surgery. I feel scared as sh*t! I feel like maybe god is telling me not to do it. But imagining how I will after is just so much happiness ahead that I can't ignore or pass up. I haven't always had this which is totally embarrassing yet the truth. I definitely developed it over time. Therefore I know what I wanna look like, what I'm supposed to look like. The one thing I'm terrified of is losing sensation. Not enjoying sex as much as I used to let alone at all . I wonder if illhave random shooting pains years later? But mostly sex is my concern. Its really holding me aback. So I feel like I'm at war with this. I really am eager to know how everything has played out for u guys.... If your still on pain... And what not. I am miserable now but I don't wanna be even more miserable after surgery. I'm gettiNg it in a month- please reply back to me. I don't wanna make a huge mistake and ruin my life I am only 20! Btw its a very small procedure the surgeon is fully aware of what I want he himself said only a tiny bit. I know for a fact he isn't going to touch any of the other areas, he is just getting rid of the excess hanging. Please get back to me about how u guys are doing i am going craZy I want this more than anything but is it worth it?

i don't recommend the procedure. no one stares at you as intently as you stare at yourself. on a beach with 100 beautiful women, no one is going to focus on your crotch!
why take the risk?
you are going to grow and change for the rest of your life- and one day your looks will be the last thing on your mind
just know that you are awesome, probably so much more beautiful than you realize.
don't focus all your thoughts on your "p***y"

In response to anybody who is considering to go under this procedure.

I had mine done yesterday 18th of December at the Highgate Hospital thru Harley Medical Group.
For the last few weeks I had a mixture of feelings, from excitement and happiness to total fear. Now at day 1 after surgery I cant be more happy!.

I feel no pain at all, and although the area its a bit swollen it is already looking great.

I arrived to the clinic at 8.30am and they send me to my room to get ready for the surgery, I was totally terrified, hungry and thirsty (you cant drink or eat anything from midnight previous to your procedure) plus I was incredibly moody because I am currently taking tablets to delay my period (due tomorrow) its a total hormonal bomb, but having the period during the recovery its not a good thing, check this with your surgeon if you think you going to have your period during or after the surgery.
Straight after my admission they send me to my own ensuite bedroom, had final tests like urine samples and blood pressure, both the anaesthetist and my surgeon came for a chat and I felt I was in the right hands. Around 10am I was sent to the theatre, while the nurse connected the heart monitors to my chest the anaesthetist injected a sedative and in less than a minute I was sleeping, next thing I remember is waking up to the friendly look of a nurse who later on drove me in my bed back to my bedroom. The rest of the day I slept, ate, drink and used the toilet with no problems al all and NO PAIN.
I was released from the clinic at 6pm with a bag full of medicines: antibiotics, paracetamol, special soap, external cream to help healing and internal cream for vaginal infections like thrust or vaginosis.

Today I feel great, it is a bit messy as the internal cream comes out eventually and the stitches start to feel a bit itchy but I have no pain and I can walk around the house and sit normally with no problems at all, last sunday I cooked food for a week just in case I would not be able to do it after surgery, but the true is that right now I can even go to the shop.
It is good to keep good rest for faster healing so I will try and not move much.

Please let me know if you have any other concerns and I will try to keep you posted with my recovery.

Good luck with your procedure!

Hey juanadearco. What surgeon did you have from Harley Medical Group I am due for a consultation tomorrow. Any update with your recovery? Glad it went well initially! Thanks

Dear Amber
Can you tell the name of this Dr?

Dear Amber
Can you tell the name of this doctor?

Yay Shante! Good for you. I think there is growing pressure on younger women to have this procedure done to look like what is perceived to be the "norm". Cosmetic surgery has its place and I think if your labia are causing you real hygiene problems or are uncomfortable then that is a good reason to get some advice. Apart from that, we come in all shapes and sizes and the more comfortable we are with the way we are the better. If you are thinking of having this surgery done, just for cosmetic reasons, ask yourself why you feel the need to do something so risky just to feel better about yourself? If you have a look on the internet you will see that there are a lot of different shapes, colours and sizes of genitalia and it's all normal. If someone is going to criticise you for the way your genitals look, then you need to diassociate yourself from that person. There are plenty of people out there who will love you for the way you are. If you keep trying to change things about your physical self to fit in, or please others, you will never be happy. You're OK the way you are!!!

Dear Guest 15 How are you today? I hope things are going much better now - it would be interesting to hear whether time has healed the pain for you or did you go for more revision surgeries? And how did everything go? I hope you stopped posting here because things were getiing better... Best regards

Hi everyone!

 

Just wanted to ask if any of you tried botox injections for pain treatment? I have pain after labiaplasty done 14 months ago, but only on the left side where a smaller part was left than on the right side. The doctors that I've seen afterwards wont recommend a second surgery for revision. One has mentioned that botox is used for vulvodynia and it might help in my case too.

My pain got worse after 6 months postop and now I have stinging and stabbing sensations in the pelvis floor and lower back. Do any of you know of that? The doctor who performed the surgery thinks it might be something unrelated but to me there is a clear connection,  can feel the pain along the nerves starting in the labia and going all the way to the back.

I really hope someone can recommend the botox injections - I am so tired of this pain....    

Hi Fitness

Sorry I have not been around, been working like a madwoman. Are you going ahead with the surgery?, My surgeon is Dr. Frati.
My recovery is going very well, to be honest I was doing normal life after a week, some of the stitches are still there and sometimes I can feel a bit tight but its not painful at all. During the first 2 weeks you will see faster change, then it slows down.
I am very pleased with the results, let me know how it goes yours!

I had labiaplasty, vaginalplasty, and several other surgeries 1/4. It has been a very emotional journey and yes there has been some discomfort but I would not call it bad pain. It is just a very sensitive area to work on. I do think we girls need a lot more information before doing these surgeries. And I also think a lot of doctors are doing these surgeries that should not be doing them. They outright lie to us about their experience. I am not in a lot of pain at all and to be fair at 5 weeks I don't think we can truly see the final result. My inner labia are a little uneven but I will wait a couple of months before making my final judgement. These chat sites are wonderful for us who are going through these surgeries. Anyone who would like to chat feel free to email me i would love to hear from you.

I am sorry to hear about your surgical result. I do need to say that you are incorrect about some transsexual results. There are indeed some transsexuals who can get a result that is totally normal appearing. In fact, Ira Dushoff has achieved this and he even does create a frenulum that attaches to the underside of the clitoral glans ample hood., normal deep tone minora, a Hart's line, clitoral ridge, and posterior fourchette.. Even gyns who have been told don't believe it. I sent Dr. Alter some examples and he didn't believe it either. But it is correct. PS-Although transsexuals can't get pregnant, they are real phenotypic females.
