16 months post op James Bellringer.

I haven't been able to dilate properly from day 1 and had to start on the smaller pre dilator, small soul source orange. Getting further in than about 7cm has always been painful but i could manage it for a while.

Fast forward to 16 months post op and I cannot get the small orange one in any more. I have tried several times over the last few months and it's just getting worse and more painful.

It looks like I have lost most of my depth, what I do have is about 6 cm and it feels like the skin is stuck together stopping me from getting any deeper. I have tried more and different lubricant but it's useless. It's now at the point its just pushing in skin and my labia are getting painfully dragged inside.

Is this it just how it is now, any chance of salvaging it ?

Did you comment about it to your surgeon? Do you receive any follow up post surgery?

I'm long past communicating with the original surgeon, wish I had never let him do it to me in the first place.

The surgeon that carried out a scar revision 4 months ago told me not to dilate for a week after. She said it looked OK inside and couldn't do anything about the pain up there. If anything it got worse after leaving it for a week and now I'm here, unable to dilate.

So they are no help whatsoever.

Hey that sounds great, how much they charged you for that surgery?
