Question:
Very Personal Question

I am still pre-op and was wondering if your labias shrink or loose weight as well. Sex now is difficult because they are big and its harder to enjoy sex because of having to move them out of the way, it takes a while to find the G-spot. Sorry so graphic but just wondering....    — roxxyblue72 (posted on December 31, 2002)

Im only 6 months postop and have noticed that where ever fat is - it shrinks. Fingers, toes, breasts, etc etc.

You also may expirience changes in sex drive due to all the hormones being released from your fat deposits. Sex drives can go up and down (just like emotions during this time) and you need to ride out the storm and wait until everything settles. This could take about a year from surgery.

That question is not silly. I am 5 1/2 weeks out and have lost 50 pounds. I am not sure if my labia has shrunk but I do know that sex is wonderful. It is so much easier to reach everything. Good luck CF

Everything that had excess fat now does not, and several women that I know have complained of a baggy-ness in that area. My problem was partially solved by my abdominoplasty. Prior to the abdominoplasty, I had your experience.

LOL!! I know exactly what you mean. I was wondering what I would do with a chubby private. lol!! But sex is a lot better and easier to move around. But I have heard that alot of that can be eliminated with a tummy tuck, which I will be getting.

As a man who was once post op let me tell you guys that losing all that weight has another wonderful effect. You can actually get closer together
