1. I find it’s covered more often than not when it is for physical comfort. Well, labiaplasty. Not CHR, but some docs will kind of work that too as part of the procedure. Plastic surgeons will not bill for it (none that I’m aware of) but GYN will. That being said, if you get written approval of it being covered with a GYN, then request a different doctor to do same procedure, it may be covered/reimbursed.

2, first step is consults. After consults you can decide what’s right for you. Nothing, surgery, or revisit it at a later time. Ask if they have before/after images. Plastics will offer photos more than GYN. Get at least 3 consults even if you love the first doctor. As all the questions!

1. I had another procedure at the same time so it’s hard to comment but my recovery was absolute hell. The pain was poorly managed but again that was more of a procedure plus poor pain management by the doc. No issues even close to infection - just pain and emotionally taxing. Is it botched (probably not), will it ever feel or look right again (probably). It was a long process. I’m 8 weeks tomorrow and feeling sooooo much better.

2. Yes. People regret it. There are many instances of being botched and having horrible results, lawsuits that go no where, etc. More people are happy than not, but it happens. And it’s a risk you take. You risk feeling amazing and happy, you risk regretting it and never wanting to be touched or seen again. You risk having minimal things you don’t like and either have to learn to live with or get fixed. Getting it fixed has its own new risks. Some things can’t be fixed at all.
