Labiaplasty, women, is it for you?

Labiaplasty (also labioplasty, labia minor reduction, and labial reduction) is plastic surgery of either the labia majora or the labia minora or both — the external folds of skin surrounding the structures of the vulva — in order to reduce the size of elongated labia. Moreover, a labiaplasty that creates labia where there were none, usually is a subordinate procedure within a vaginoplasty, plastic surgery of the vagina. The medical and sociologic reasons for labial reduction include the correction of labial damage occurred during childbirth, the elimination of pain and discomfort consequent to larger and enlarged labia, and for personal, æsthetic reasons.

I was wondering if many women even know about this procedure? If so would they consider it?

Well if we can allow male circumcision I don't see why not this, the labia and foreskin identical tissues. A vaginaplasty makes less sense though: if a women wants to tighten her vagina she can do so for far cheaper with a vagina weight set which has proven world record results.

What kind of long term side effects could be predicted?

 

I think they were talking about documenting side effects from patients who had them ages ago.

 

I shall let mine wave proudly in the breeze, thanks.

 

The problem is that porno magazines remove the labia with various techniques prior to publishing, such as photoshoping out the folds. So now women think there is something wrong with their body.

 

what the hell kind of porn magazines do you read?! I've NEVER seen that.

I suppose if my boobs were too big I'd have them reduced, so if my labia was too big, why not? Its just a body part.

 

you know, i really couldn't tell you what mine looked like. i remember thinking it wasn't the prettiest thing i'd ever seen. i suppose if every time i had spread my legs someone had said, "oh dear god" in a bad way i would have looked into it more. but every time i spread my legs someone says "oh dear god" in a good way, so apparently my god given labia shall suffice.

 

But women who have breast reductions usually are having a lot of back pain from those mammoth honkers. Not to mention the bras.
Good Goddess, my friend not only has a lot of shoulder pain...she gets to pay 60$ for one bra!

She wants a reduction, but the docs won't until she's had a kid.

The worst practical effect of having long labia minora...is having to tuck prior to riding a bicycle, or buying a seat for same that doesn't abrade in that particular spot.

After a few miles, it can get quite painful.

 

There was a study done on it I read about somewhere (CNN maybe, Time?). Apparently a lot of women didn't know they are actually normal.

 

Oh...
In that case, I'm afraid we need a normal vulva gallery,to match the following:

If you can find this I would be greatful. Would be quite useful for my thread on sexual repression (though I really should have named it sexuality repression)

 

If I photoshopped my you-know-what out, could I send you a nude photo?

Are you a licensed physician?

If so, check out my hard drive thread.

ps. bring yer stethoscope.

 

Is this thread truly pointless? Or what?

 

Probably LONG ones.

 

You have to see the relative difference to understand what labiaplasty is - its entirely cosmetic

...and not to my liking at all. Like trimming a rose with scissors.

Thanks S.A.M.

 

I think I liked the "befores" better too.
