What's the Rush?

That's the question I was asked this week: "What's the rush?" Why am I having my labiaplasty so soon after the vaginoplasty? One of the reasons why this is a two step procedure is that the vaginoplasty is very traumatic on the vaginal/abdominal area and needs to heal; vascular damage precludes doing the labiaplasty sooner than 3 months post-op. My labiaplasty is scheduled for 4.5 months (20 weeks) post-op. I scheduled it then because it was my understanding that this should be done between 3 and 6 months. This particular date was open and allows me to use the MKL Day holiday to save a day off. However, the biggest reason for the "rush" is that I feel like an unfinished project. It's hard to "get on with my life" without putting these surgeries behind me.
