So, as it is now three months past my surgery, I've just spent the better part of the last hour exploring my vagina.
I can't seem to find my labia minora like.... At all. Literally - I can't see it, even when I spread and manually spread my labia majora by fingers. It just.... Doesn't appear to exist. The clitoris is there and I can kinda see a clitoral hood at least a little, but... No minora as far as I can tell. There's no like... Extra layer of skin or lips or anything between the majora.
Is this normal? Is this something Chettawut is known for? Is the minora something that I'll eventually be able to see? Am I looking at the wrong thing? I can send pictures via PM.
One of the thing that I can think about was that your minora might have fused with the sides of majora during healing.

I'm looking at my 14 days old vagina and my minora seems to be longer on one side than the other... but it is 14 days old... so we never know!

I looked at 2 Chett girls a few weeks after surgery, I did notice that there was considerable swelling, more than mine. Would be nice if a few Chett girls responded. I suggest that you take a mirror and spread the majora and see if its just the swelling that has hidden the minora. Are you still squemish to manipulate the folds? Chetts girls had really nice minora that I saw.
I've emailed Chett and I'm seeing my OBGYN tomorrow. Will update when I get back or hear back.
It is most certainly normal for a cis vagina. If you google "have no labia minora" you will find multiple cis women that have no labia minora, which I didn't originally think was a thing. Visited my sexologist because I needed to talk today and we talked about my upcoming SRS and one of my worries was about the labia minora and he told me as well that he has patients come to him who are uncomfortable with their lack of labia minora.
It seems some women prefer small or no labia, try googling barbie labia. That's going to be NSFW of course.
Well I've heard back from both now.
The OBGYN looked at it and confirmed I have basically no Labia Minora - not even because of fusing. However, I have a well defined clitoris (and it is able to cause orgasm just as a side note) and clitoral hood. However, she also then proceeded to show me pictures of natal women with the exact same structure as me - so it's all well within 'normal.'
Chett got back to me as well just now and he said that the Labia Minora is constructed from penile material. As a result of my, uhh, extreme lack of that, he was not able to make a well defined one (or really one at all beyond the clitoral hood).
On a side note, my OBGYN gave me her impressions of the results. She said that everything looked natal, really, except for a single 'line' that seemed strange between the Clitoris and the Urethra. This is a surgical scar and will eventually tone down to appear more natal as well - but, in fairness, even if it didn't, it's such a ridiculously minor thing that no one would ever notice. That everything else apparently appears natal to my OBGYN is extremely impressive.
Overall, even though I lack any real labia minora, since everything is basically natal, I'm still happy with the results. Well worth the money.
I am glad you have closure and a natal looking VJ.

How do surgeons typically define how much penile material there is? It's normal for the penis to atrophy considerably after a couple years off testosterone so would this be the same thing or are they talking small before hormones? The reason I ask is by the time I get GRS mine won't be its original size due to lower testosterone.

My surgery kinda just eyeballed my bits and he said I have enough to work with... I'm not very well endowed
