Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Guys can try to
explain it to a woman, but coming from a woman with first hand
experience is really compelling!

Hello there,
I am a 20 year old female from Canada and I
recently had labiaplasty surgery. I had long, thin, hanging inner
lips and I was so self-concious about them, it prevented me from
enjoying myself during sex and feeling sexy. I have always been
content about the rest of my body- a tall 6'2'', fairly attractive
face, blonde hair and blue eyes, average build, and huge breasts. I
was generally happy with my appearance... with the exception of my
large labia. I guess I grew up watching too much porn or something,
because ever since I was 10 years old I have felt dirty and ashamed.
I even remember trying to cut one of them off with kitchen scissors
in the bathroom when I was twelve! Needless to say, that didn't end
well. There was no permanent damage, but that was just an indication
of how gross I felt. Craziness aside, my self-conciousness went on
all throughout my teen years and I felt uncomfortable with each
boyfriend and sexual partner I had. It always took me a long time to
admit to a boyfriend how I felt about myself "down there", and their
replies were always "it doesn't matter" or "it looks fine"- nobody
seemed to care. But no matter how many approvals or shrugs I got, I
still hated it. I recently made the decision to have labiaplasty. My
current boyfriend was very understanding; I knew he didn't care the
way I was "down there" and he told me repeatedly that he would love
me and think I was perfect no matter what the size my labia. However,
I proceeded with the plastic surgery. The entire experience was
horrible. I was under a local anesthetic- so I was awake- and the
doctor started cutting before the anesthetic even had time to
activate. I was screaming and crying on the operating table, feeling
as if my genitals were being mutilated by a tribe of horrible,
horrible men in some third-world country. It's been one week now and
I wish I came accross this site sooner. $3,000 later, I'm stuck with
ugly scars and swollen lips and what's worse, after browsing through
this site, I don't feel as bad about my "former self"
anymore. I
know the stitches will dissolve, the scars will fade and the swelling
will go down, but I have learned my lesson; to just be happy with
myself, and feel blessed for everything I was born with. I just
hope I will be as happy with my new set of smaller lips as I should
have been with my large.
