Motivation for surgery was for comfort and look of my vagina. I knew everyone’s looks different and the way mine looked is very common, but I was not satisfied with it. The way vagina was pre surgery did not affect me during intimacy, but did when I wore tight clothes or a bathing suit. The pros of my surgery was that I was awake the entire time and it was a quick and easy recovery. The cons of my surgery were the fact that it was such a sensitive area, but the pain was bearable. I barely used any pain medication of any sort after my surgery. Recovery included me icing myself and laying down the first 2-3 days, wearing a maxi pad, and resting. The 5th day I was already back on my feet at work with only a panty liner and no more ice. I had it done on a Friday so it wouldn’t interfere with me missing any more than 1 day of work, which made the surgery convenient. Overall, I am overly satisfied with my results of smaller lips. It makes it easier to wear tight clothes without discomfort and I am also not uncomfortable wearing a swimsuit anymore. Since it is almost a year since my original surgery, it is still the same as when I originally recovered. I say this because I was nervous that maybe it would not go all the way back to pre surgery, but maybe even slightly and it didn’t at all. Dr. Patel was gentle and a perfectionist in this surgery. I recommend that anyone who felt the same way I did look into this surgery with Dr. Patel because you’re not put under anesthesia and it is a quick recovery for the results that would impress anyone. Aside from my surgery, Dr. Patel has convenient appointments and tries to work with your schedule. He is always open to questions and concerns you have with prompt responses. I am never rushed as I feel usually nowadays from doctors and there is rarely a wait at all. Liz, the office manager is also very helpful and always available.
