Title: How long for the vagina to look relatively normal?
Post by: ashw on April 10, 2018, 01:27:27 AM
I just had SRS 4 weeks ago and it looks surprisingly really good. The clitoral hood is still swollen though and the clit itself looks kinda odd. The mons pubis area is also really huge as well. All in all, it looks great for only a month out but I just want to know when it will start to be less puffy looking and have a more normal color.

I'm no expert but I think it's around the 1 year mark. I'm pretty sure that's when Dr Suporn considers it to be fully healed etc as he won't do revisions until then.

Depending on how fast you heal from your surgery, about 1 year is typical.  Many girls report that they are functional at 2 or 3 months. For me it was more like 6 months before I felt normal and over a year before there was complete healing.

I took time. I know at 3 months things were a lot better and at 6 months I was pretty happy with the healing. I Was able to stop wearing a pad at 6 months and switched to light pads at 3 months.
