Hi all,
I have had a look through various threads on here on this matter but I wanted to share this to see opinions and hear from anyone who has
I'm late 29 and I have a 4 year old, my birth was quite traumatic and I had an episiotomy with internal tears also, it took me along time to heal and I couldn't have sex for nearly a year
My vulva has always been flappy but since the episiotomy the way I was stitched has made down there look even worse
I hated it for years, I would end relationships before I would have sex because I was that embarrassed, no one had ever seen or made comments about it and still hasn't, but I heard the usual various comments regarding other people's, I'm not sure if that's where it stemmed from
But anyway, a labiaplasty is something I have thought about and researched so much over the past 10 years, I have wanted one for so long
I don't get a huge amount of pain or discomfort but clothing will rub knickers uncomfortable etc and I won't wear gym leggings etc as it looks visible and big
I booked in for it (with a good consultant surgeon who specialises in cosmetic and reconstruction in that area) for early next week, but I am now feeling nervous about my decision , I'm so frustrated I have wanted this for so long but I'm still nervous
My partner has said he doesn't want me to do it but if i am really unhappy will support me
I have conflicted feelings in that I really dislike it, I avoid certain clothes because of it, it's been an issue for me for over 10 years, labiaplastyy is something I have wanted for so long, but I also feel like is it worth it
Please can anyone who's had this let me know how it went? Good stories/bad stories?
Is it worth it? Am I doing the right thing
My surgeon said I will likely loose some sensation to begin with but it will likely come back and sensation loss isn't something they've encountered much, advised they won't be able to take too much away anyway due to the episiotomy which I am glad of I don't want to be all tucked away necessarily just not quite as protruding
I have confidence that they know exactly what they're doing and are the people who correct the "gone wrong" but I'm still so nervous
Thanks x
