doctors have raised concerns about clinics offering vaginal cosmetic surgery, warning the trend towards so-called "designer vaginas" may be exploiting vulnerable women. The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said procedures being offered included "vaginal rejuvenation, revirgination, designer vaginoplasty and G-spot amplification".

"What is involved in these procedures is often unclear since recognised clinical nomenclature is not being used," it said in a position paper released this week.

The college labelled the procedures dangerous, expensive and unwarranted, and said it strongly discouraged surgery that was not backed by scientific evidence or clinical trials.

"The real risks of potential complications such as scarring, permanent disfigurement, infection, dyspareunia and altered sexual sensations should be discussed in detail with women seeking such treatments," it said.

I don’t get it...Botox, ok; even a face lift, but, but, but if this gets in vogue then pretty soon Nasty Nan from San Fran is going to be sporting a goatee!

All I want is a mute button.

[meandog]

Perish the tought! I look just fine, thank you!

[Izzy Dunne]

Is there a “revirgination” operation for men?

If she gets another lift, she’ll need to give her chin a Brazilian.

[Lurker]

It'll take a pretty cunning linguist to figure out some of those fancy words...

I wonder if Bill Clinton has ever explored this area?

If we can believe half of what we hear about Bill, he would be a valuable advisor to those seeking treatments. He would know what he likes to find down there, and what would look good on a particular person.

I can see it now. Our new special, with every designer vagina we will throw in one set of designer sheets.

In before this thread gets pulled or surgically altered ;O)

...it strongly discouraged surgery that was not backed by scientific evidence or clinical trials

Is this the line to "see the evidence", or is it the line for the "clinical trials"?

[Petronski]

But off-the-rack vaginae are so declassé!

[edzo4]

you know how women bring a picture of another women to the hair salon for a hair cut?

I can imagine women walking into the doctors office and asking for the Jennifer Anniston.

[papasmurf]

Oh no! What if they mess up and re-install it backwards?

Have at it...
