The Swelling Stage: A Candid Look at Early Labiaplasty & CHR Recovery

The patient is 7 days post-op after a trim labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction (CHR) and is concerned about swelling in the clitoral area, making it appear larger than expected. At this stage, swelling is still very common, especially around the clitoral hood, and typically subsides over time as healing progresses. While the final results take months to fully settle, the clitoral area is expected to reduce in size as swelling continues to go down. Patience is key, and further changes should be noticeable in the coming weeks.
