Almost 4 weeks post-op! Questions
I am exactly 33 days post op and feel the same but this pain, swelling and numbness have been decreasing little by little each day. Also, you look amazing. Congrats and let's try to keep calm and let time do it's job 😁 I know how hard it is but I keep reminding me that I'm only at the beggining of it.
So much this. She looks incredible <3
Our bodies are MASTERS of healing itself. The key is lots of rest, as little to no stress as possible (Very important) and lots of healthy food and water <3
Very few things our bodies can't heal from if we check all those boxes
In total agreement. I’d add that plenty of protein to build new tissue is important.
Yes that's very important!
thanks for the kind words☺️

The doctors in Spain have some of the best results I’ve seen. Congratulations 👏🏼👏🏼! Your vagina is absolutely beautiful. Do you live in Spain or did you fly to Spain to have the surgery? Did you pay out of pocket?
Noo I do live here, and we have it covered by our country's healthcare.
Wow! How I envy the options you have in Spain. Here in New York it’s a struggle to find a good doctor with phenomenal results like yours. I’m going to look into her out of pocket. How was your experience with Dr. begoña etcheverry? How much depth was she able to give you?
Right now I have about 6 inches of depth
Could I ask how long you were on the waiting list? How did you get the referral?
from the moment I got put in it until the surgery, it was almost 5 years😭
Presumably there was a period of time before being put on the waiting list? Your results look really good btw, I didn't know about this surgeon or her techniques and certainly didn't know this was available on the SS. You must be really pleased.
Well esthetically speaking, I'm kinda nervous about the final results, but so far functionally it seems it will be fine since I have a 6 inch depth aprox. and I think I've been lucky since I'm having practically no complications so far.
Did you have the peritoneal pull-through method? How was the care in the hospital? I have to say it looks great, looks like you're healing nicely.
No, it was PI. The care in the hospital was relatively good, taking into account that it's a public hospital and so I was sharing a room with another patient and the nurses are extremely busy. I didn't require much care though, beyond getting the IV medication put in. Thanks a lot, I'm just kinda worried about the looks of it from the front/underneath, but I guess it's kinda early to tell what the final result will be.
I guess you're still a bit swollen. Hope your recovery continues to go well.
Does the French Healthcare system translate well to spain, as in, does the EU have a universal healthcare across borders?
I doubt it, but I have no clue
One month out swelling everywhere is completely normal. It took the tissue under my mons the longest to heal. I was getting occasional mild swelling and some numbness there almost a year after surgery. I’m now 15 months post and it seems like everything- even the peeper tissues -are completely healed. I also had a spot of numbness to the left of and above my mons where I thought feeling would never return, but it gradually got better and now I have full sensation. I feel like my labia were looking Pretty good at the three month mark. As a side note: your vulva is gorgeous! Are you comfortable sharing the name of your surgeon?
thank you sm🥰 Surgeon was Begoña Etcheverry
I was like three months post-op before it started looking normal and not grotesquely swollen.
ETA: The zaps are totally normal and will last a couple of months. Tbh, I'm 9 months post-op, and they seem to have just recently stopped.
Looking great! Also omg your hips, can I ask did you have any kind of BBL or are they just from HRT/genetics?
no bbl yet, just a good angle i guess
username checks out LMAO
Ikr… my BDD and GD are best friends.
Your surgeon did a great job
It is normal mons pubis to be higher in general, and in particular during swelling.
You are looking great and if I can get to that point I will be over the moon!
itching while healing is completely normal for all wounds.
Great result. Yes, those feelings are normal while healing.
Honey you will be swollen for 3-4 months
How the hell did you get that figure? Your hips are outrageous. What’s your diet and exercise regimen? lol
Well firstly I'm laying on my back in the 1st picture so gravity is doing its thing on my tummy. I also lost weight after the picture and I was already naturally skinny (which I don't love since I think some fat would help my figure). And I guess the angle helps making my hips look curvier, but thank you anyways☺️
sis you got childbearing hips!!
if you look at her previous pics of her standing up, you can see based on the angle of her legs that her femurs extend out quite a bit, not just her hips. that's not really something you can change with exercise or even surgery, that's just skeletal structure.
That sort of swelling is quite typical only a month out. It will resolve in its own time. It appears you’ll have lovely results.
Be patient. You have five more months of dilation absolutely ruling your life. Let it so rule. It’s worth it.
Vaginoplasty or vulvoplasty
Vaginoplasty!

Looks great
I definitely looks great.
Are you happy feel better?
Gorgeous! You have beautiful hips and a pretty space between. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
thats beautiful work whats the surgeon and technique if u dont mind me asking
FR
Surgeron ?
Beautiful, especially for 4 weeks
Looks beautiful.
Looks great! It seems like a normal amount of swelling to me. IANAD but the hematomas I've seen are less regular and symmetrical. My majora swelling was still diminishing for 4-5 months. It actually seemed like I was losing depth but it was really just the swelling receding around the dilator.
God I needed to hear that😭
My God that's pretty 😍. That's how I'd want to look if I ever got grs
Swelling didn’t let up until 3 months post op for me. Nerves are still reattaching for me still near 6 months. An itch or zappy feeling comes as a result, this is either the nerves connecting or just waking up :) can also just be from dead skin or something like that
💕💕
Surgeon?
Begoña Etcheverry near Barcelona, Spain - judging from her previous posts. I had no idea surgeons in Catalonia were so talented. Reinforces my plan of moving to Spain one day.
WOW all I can see is one beautiful female body. You must be so happy.
I just love your body shape so much.
Sorry didn't really answer your question, 4 weeks is very early for anything really. I would say I was almost 12 months then it was at a stage where I thought, yep this is how it will be for ever. But you look amazing for 4 weeks. Personally you have nothing to worry about. Just enjoy your body, let it heal listen to your aches and pains and then all you have to look forward to is, swimwear, nice fitting underwear, what ever clothes you find comfortable and then if it is your thing explore your new area for sexual satisfaction,
It takes about a year to be fully healed. It took more than a year for me to be comfy sitting on a hard surface.
You look amazing. Like, beyond perfect. It could take up to 12 months before you’re fully healed and all the swelling dissipates.
Looking at this and prior pictures everything looks very smooth and even and I don’t see an obvious hematoma. It will be fairly firm until the fluid/swelling is gone.
The itches are the worst. It depends on how quickly the nerves reattach. I have a couple of places are still numb, years later. But they’re very small (a few centimeters) on the scar.
Results are looking lovely! It will take a while for numbness to fully go away. As for the itching, I'm 17 months post and I still sometimes have a little trouble finding where itching might be coming from! It takes a long time to relearn with all the changes that were made!
who was your surgeon?
Where did you get your surgery done?
Also, that first pic is so damn well taken. Fucking seething in jealousy of your figure here
my god midriff goals
Great results! My mom pubs took about three months to heal
Oh my good god, it's looking amazing!
Your result looks phenomenal so far I hope you keep healing well. Sadly I don’t have any answers to your questions as I’m 4 months away from my own bottom surgery, however I do have my own question if you don’t mind and I just thought about it now as I’m typing this lol. When you lay down on your back flat, do you feel any pulling or stretching? What’s the most comfortable position for you to be in? Standing/sitting/leaning on your side/etc etc. But yeah mainly I’m just curious if you feel a lot of pulling or tension.
Nah not really, laying on my back feels comfy.
hey!! sorry late comment but wondering did etcheverry require you to have electrolysis and hair removal beforehand? thx!
no, they told me they burn the follicles inside the canal during surgery or something like that. still told me there's a possibility that a stray hair might stay inside 🙄
