"White Residue Normal?" Estradiol Cream Effects at 1 Week

The patient is 7 days post-op after undergoing a wedge labiaplasty (no CHR) and is monitoring her healing progress. She has been applying estradiol cream to the suture lines three times a day, which explains the white residue in the area. She is still experiencing discomfort and has been mostly resting in bed while receiving help during the first week. Healing is still in the early stages, and swelling, tenderness, and unevenness are common at this point. As recovery progresses, the final results will continue to refine, and discomfort should gradually decrease.
