Excellent pictures op. Exactly the kind of stuff that is helpful in choosing a surgeon down the road. So what happened? Was it infected after all? You mentioned that in one of the pics, week 6 I think.

please continue to update in the months to come with more "natural"-looking photos [post-post healing/not as clinical]

Dunno but the betadine cleared up the redness and the smell

Grats girl. I'm currently laying in bed at the Bangkok Rama. I am 13 days post op with minimal to no swelling. My right labia is a little larger than my left, but it already looks great. Can't Wait to see my 3 month mark. I love my Hello Kitty Mirror.❤

You mentioned having a potato body in your last photo.

I wanted to take the chance to remind you, that people fucking love potatoes. Don't feel bad about it, OP. You're lovely!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

12 weeks post-op and the scars are still obvious. Do you happen to know whether they will blend better with your skin in the future?

Eventually but it takes a long time. I've been rubbing it down 2x daily with vit E to help.

You might want to be careful with the vitamin E.

CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that there is no benefit to the cosmetic outcome of scars by applying vitamin E after skin surgery and that the application of topical vitamin E may actually be detrimental to the cosmetic appearance of a scar. In 90% of the cases in this study, topical vitamin E either had no effect on, or actually worsened, the cosmetic appearance of scars. Of the patients studied, 33% developed a contact dermatitis to the vitamin E. Therefore we conclude that use of topical vitamin E on surgical wounds should be discouraged.
