Just wanted to let you know my experience. I have recently had labiaplasty and I wish I had not. I did have very long and uncomfortable labia so went ahead with this op after feeling embarrassed about my body for years.
Basically, I look worse than before, very 'top heavy' and like 'franken-fanny', if I didn't feel so upset and skint and sore and disappointed, I would laugh.
I wish I had spent the money on therapy to learn to love myself more instead! I can't walk, sit or look - I feel awful after 4 days. Every time I look, I want to cry, it's so hideous.
I know my surgeon will think he has done enough, but it is a terrible job, not what I imagined at all. I just wanted to feel 'normal' enough to undress in front of people, men and women, with confidence.
I also had asymmetric breasts uplifted and reduced on one side - another bad job - now I have scarred, uplifted, uneven breasts! And, my word, it's painful!
After my marriage ended, I felt this would make me feel more confident to meet someone new, I had been very body conscious and shy since teenage years, but I have ONLY achieved debt, upset, pain and guilt - on top of my renewed dislike of my breasts and vulva, albeit for different reasons now!
Please don't have surgery without serious thought to the implications of botched ops, pain, financial loss and unhappiness. I can't believe I have been so stupid.
