Vaginas and plastic surgery…Questions for the experienced…



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery in November 2015. I am down 150 pounds and have surpassed my initial goal weight by 12 pounds. I am now going for the blue ribbon, and attempting to lose another 18 pounds. This would bring me much lower than I ever thought I could physically get, and it will be time for plastic surgery.

Amazingly, for unrelated reasons, I just moved to Mexico. Of course, I will be doing a lot of research, but I always figured I would come to Mexico for plastics anyway.

I am almost 40 and I'm not trying to get the body of a 20-year-old girl who never had weight problems, but it is my intention to get the Fluer-de-lei Tummy Tuck and to have my breasts lifted.

My question is to those who have had these procedures, how does this affect the vaginal mound?

I do not want to have surgery on my labia or Clitoral area, but I do have extra skin above there that is not technically my stomach, but a fleshy mound that grew around my clit, and has now deflated. I do not want to have a tummy tuck that makes it look like my stomach and my vagina do not belong next to each other vertically.

Does anybody have any experience with this? Is it a separate procedure? I do not want to risk having any nerves severed around my clit or labia. I just want the top of my ***** to blend in with the bottom of my belly when the surgery is done.

A 'Mons lift' as it is called - Is normally done when they do your Tummy Tuck (Might be an idea to check that when you see your surgeon to make 100% sure that will happen in your surgery etc)

They just lift that area up whilst doing the tummy tuck - Search Mons lift and you will find out all the info you need :)

This picture was taken in Aug 2015 and my surgery was in 2010. - But nothing has changed and I am well over 40.....

I also had the Fleur de lis....

I got Tummy Tuck and it was done as part of it. I had extra skin and it looks so much better now. I would ask the surgeon when you go for consultation just to make sure.

Thank you all so much. That is such helpful information! Unfortunately the picture @scamps isn't showing, but I would certainly love to see it. How is the recovery ladies?

Does this one show?

My recovery was fine - I did not have the muscles touched due to a previous hernia surgery..

Yes and it looks fantastic! I've never seen results that nice that didn't involve the muscle tightening on the inside, which I wish I didn't need. I just didn't want to come out Square. You look great!

The reason why I could not have the mesh (He did try) was because of the hernia mesh I have in there. He tried but it would have left a horrid lump - So he did not - I have been very lucky that the mesh is obviously doing a pretty good job (Bar on one lower corner which hardly shows where I have asymmetry - But it is only a small bump)

I was told when I was choosing whether to have the inverted T or not - That if i did not - I might look 'boxy' And I am so glad I did - Even with the scars I have a great flat stomach and for the first time in my life to my memory - I am not fat or chubby or chunky in the belly.....

The muscle tightening will hurt, but it might be well worth it.....

Good luckkkkkk :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
