It has been 26 days since my initial post, and there are significant visual changes, so I decided to make another post.
Main changes: 1. Swelling improved significantly. I can now walk and drive normally. I can sit on normal chairs for about an hour before feeling discomfort. 2. Bruises on the thighs are completely gone. Some yellow bruises remain on the lower stomach. 3. The large scab covering the neoclitoris is taken off by the surgeon during one of three post-op checkups. 4. Energy level is back to normal for daily activities.
Remaining problems: 1. Redness around the urethral opening (I just discovered this today and will consult my surgeon.) 2. Swelling around the entire area 3. Stiffness around the center of mons pubis area 4. Exposed neoclitoris. I hope this will improve as the above two problems get mitigated. 5. Stitches. Some have fallen off, but I definitely seem to be slow on this.

- I am sapphic and nonbinary, so I am ok with not having depth
- The risks for vulvoplasty is lower
- Without the need to reconstruct a traditionally functional canal, ideally there would be more materials left for the surgeon to reconstruct other parts
Who's the doctor?

Omg, Thank you so much for sharing because I had a really hard time finding pics of a vulvoplasty online. I’m also enby. Idk if I want to do it, but I at least wanted to see some pictures to figure it out more
