This post from the California Surgical Institute sheds some light on the controversy surrounding labiplasty.

On the one hand, the post points out that:

Meanwhile, psychologists, gynecologists and others chime in that any cosmetic surgery of the female genitalia is unnecessary and fraught with needless risk.

Professional medical societies in:

• The United States,
• New Zealand,
• The United Kingdom
• Germany

have slammed the procedure because of a lack of studies and alleged high complication rates.

Many feminists say there is no universal standard of beauty for labia, and that most women who want the operation get the idea in the first place from sexually explicit magazines, showing professional models who have surgically enhanced genitalia.

However, the post goes on to show the results of a two year study of 407 women between the ages of 13 and 63 that indicates their high level of satisfaction with the results of their labiaplasty surgeries:

According to the article, printed in the December 2008 Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, a professional journal for plastic surgeons, 98 percent of the patients report they would have the surgery over again.

Seventy percent reported increased self-esteem while 71 percent reported improved sex lives. The study found four percent of subjects reporting complications.

So it looks like the verdict is in.  98% of the women would have the labiaplasty surgery again.

And though it is not for everyone. This survey is definitely in line with the results I have seen.

Are You A Candidate?

As for the establishment, they clearly must be missing something, since 98% are happy with this "unnecessary" surgery.

Regardless of what anyone thinks.  This surgery is an option for women that experience pain and  or discomfort because of their large labia or want to change the appearance.

However only you can choose what is right for you.
