6 months post op results, Dr Ibraheim. Super happy! Started by: Anonymous

Hiya ladies! I am six months post labiaplasty op and I thought I’d share my results! My PC was Francesca Murphy at Fitzroy and was a brilliant support from my initial consultation to post op answering all of my questions and giving me her advice too. My surgeon was Dr Ibraheim and I cannot say enough wonderful things about him! He has been doing what he does a long time and must be one of the best to see for labiaplasty. I hated my appearance so much I just wanted it gone and didn’t think about how I wanted it to look aesthetically afterward. As well as removing the excess he is also concerned with achieving a beautiful look that is natural. He explained the ‘wedge’ method and how it is much smoother and not just ‘trimming’ the skin which a lot of surgeons seem to do from my previous research. I said personally I wanted it all gone like Barbie (!) I was so scared to have general anaesthetic but my pc and surgeon both reassured me I would not die, the result would be better and I’d be more comfortable. I had my procedure at Preston First Trust. Dr Ibraheim came to see me before my op to clarify exactly what I wanted which was comforting and after the op a couple times to make sure I was ok. I got really scared beforehand and cried but everyone was so reassuring and lovely and I was absolutely fine. Don’t worry, I think they see it all. Please take a chaperone with you who is supportive though, I took my Mum and she freaked out which was a bit stressful so it was the surgeon and lovely staff who really comforted me and kept me calm. I was so well looked after. It is a very nice chilled little hospital. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get there as it is literally hidden down a country road. The pain was minimal, a day after I kept waiting for it but it never came and I never touched the painkillers they prescribed! Of course it was uncomfortable if I put too much stress on it. I kept walking to a minimum the first week, used salt water religiously after I peed and showered and then in the weeks after that I was carful not to exert myself. I had a lot of bruising and swelling which intermittent icing helped with. I didn’t look at it properly for the first week or so because I knew how bruised I was. I can tell you 6 months on I am so happy with my results. Everything has swelled down and has exceeded what I hoped for. I’m also amazed I can’t see any scars- after my stitches came out and I seemed healed I did use coconut oil which kept everything comfortable too. It was the best thing I ever did for myself to be honest!!! Thought I’d just share 6 months on because I wish I got it done sooner! X
