It seems real. Perhaps we shall file this under "just because you can doesn't mean you should. I don't get the logistics. I imagine they are making in incision in the vaginal wall but I don't really know.

Ok so I watched this video and read the notes- they still did abdominal incisions!!! I don't get how there could be a lesser chance of complications when you're involving another body system (the reproductive system) on a surgery like this. They're adding a risk of infection in that system as well! Crazy to say the least!

Wow that's interesting. The thing is the incisions are so small I don't get the big deal unless you're trying to hide the fact you had a procedure done from someone close to you. My incisions look really good and I'm only 3 weeks out and haven't even started treating them yet. Everyone I show them to is super surprised by them. I think they thought they would be bigger. On some peoples after pics you can't even see them.

I asked the doc. if I could keep mine and make a candy dish because I would not be eating candy anymore and at least I could still have some in my stomach.
