Title: Vagioplasty with later labiaplasty questions.
Post by: Rachel on October 17, 2016, 07:08:33 PM
Hi,

I have vagioplasty scheduled 11/15 with graft. It was explained my scrotum will be used to support blood flow for the graft. Later I would have labiaplasty in the office. When I was at a recent consultation/reexamination a woman was having labiaplasty in the room next door. When she came out she looked ok and I did not hear any loud noises.

How long after vagioplasty is labiaplasty scheduled?
What is the pain level of labiaplasty during the procedure and after?
I assume there is bleeding, how much and for how long?
Are there any negative effects of using the scrotum to feed blood to the graft with dialation?

Thank you

According to the paperwork I have from Meltzer he doesn't let patients do labiaplasty tell 3 months after Vaginoplasty. Not sure what others are hearing from other surgeons though. It is because of the blood flow in the area that he makes us wait 3 months. Hugs
