Hey all, i'm doing a little research on
cosmetic vaginal surgery and I hope to
discover some of the motivations behind
the decision to pursue vaginal
reconstruction (vaginoplasty,
labiaplasty,clitoral hood
removal,labia/mons pubis liposuction,
vaginal tightening) if this applies to
you....
When did you first decide to have this
surgery?
What was the motivating reason to have the
surgery?

Labiaplasty Posted: 06-20-06 03:28am
I am going into hospital tomorrow for
tests and the morning after am having a
tvt combined hopefully with a labiaplasty
on thursday morning.
I have wanted this operation since 3rd
grade (i was 7 or 8), when I flashed a
girl (her idea!!!) and she then told the
school that I was really a boy...When I
turned 13 my inner labia "dropped" and I
have felt ashamed and abnormal ever
since.
They hurt when wearing tightish clothes,
they get caught by seems and it feels like
an electric shock!!! They stick out like
a boy they show in skimpy undies,
yesterday I had to "shave " the area in
preparation of the ops and took before
photos (as you do!!!!), they totally
repulsed me and left me wondering how my
husband can bear to be near me..
In two days time for the first time in my
life I will feel normal down there.
I cannot answer this q for other women and
have just tried to be as honest with you
as I can and hope no-one here judges me
too harshly(the "be happy as you are
brigade"), hope this helps your research
and I will try to post again to let you
know how I progress and if it really will
make the difference to my life that I
think it will!!!

Decsion For Labiaplasty Posted: 06-20-06 12:41pm
I have always known that my labia were not
quite normal. Even as a teen I had
problems wearing certain clothing or
swimsuits not only due to the cosmetic
bulge but also the discomfort. When I
bacame sexual active the problem was much
more noticeable as my labia would often
catch and cause pain with sex. I had
asked several gynecologist who told me I
was normal and it was nothing to worry
about. One general gynecologist told me
that he could do the surgery but it would
cause permanent scarring and pain.
Luckily my last gyn sent me to a clinic in
arizona that specializes in laser vaginal
reconstruction. They were wonderful and
explained my options and took my concerns
seriously for once. I had the labial
reduction done and was amazed at how
painless the procedure was and how great
the results were. I know that same people
think that reducing your labia is silly
but I see it not as purely a cosmetic
choice but a means of correcting a birth
defect. The clinic I went to also does
vaginal tightening surgery for women who
have bladder leakage and laxity after
childbirth. Again I dont see this as
being vain but as a chance to restore
normal sexaul function. I have heard
horror stories about patients having this
procedure done by some doctors so I do
suggest you find someone as I did that
specializes in these repairs.

All Done! Posted: 06-29-06 03:08am
I have managed to walk as far as my
library to the computer! It has been one
week exactly since I had both the tvt and
a labiaplasty done and I am feeling very
positive so far!!
There has been some discomfort and
bleeding and I have been walking around
like john wayne all week, but I can see a
real difference even with the swelling
although that is subsiding day by day.. I
smile every time I look because at last I
feel normal!!!! The last post is so
right, it is a birth defect and I suspect
that only women with normal labia tell you
to accept what nature endowed you with?!!
Onwards and upwards!!!!

Yes, a tvt is for stress incontinence and
am still very pleased with the result of
both, tvt has worked beautifully and even
my hubby keeps smiling at my little 'v'.
The only thing is we havent yet made love
as I feel very tender even patting myself
dry after weeing but im sure that will
sort itself out...It feels like my life is
just beginning ...Again!!!

long time to heal? Was it real expensive?

Wanting Labiaplasty. Posted: 12-09-07 17:19pm
i also want this done - as i have a lot of
paid during sex and also wearing tight
undies or pants. i'm about to turn 20 and
i do alot of modelling work and i feel so
embarrassed when I'm put in these little
swimsuits and you can see a massive lump
appearing from my crutch - that's is not
the best advertising haha. Also with
modelling you have to get changed, and get
naked next to the other girls in the
shoot. i have been mocked and scared by
these remarks about my large labia. i
really want to get labiaplasty done so i
can enjoy sex and feel sexy when my
boyfriend is looking at me. Also when I'm
in my tight swimmer photo shoots i don't
feel so embassed.
i have read about labiaplasty being done
by laser and also by scalpel what is the
best and less painful.. can someone please
help me ?
