Labioplasty: Risky cosmetic genital surgery for women
BBC ^ | November 11, 2009 | BBC News

Posted on 11/12/2009 9:35:12 AM PST by Senator Goldwater

Women are undergoing surgery to create perfect genitalia amid a "shocking" lack of information on the potential risks of the procedure, a report says.

Research published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology also questions the very notion of aesthetically pleasing genitals.

Operations to improve the appearance of the sex organs for both psychological and physical reasons are on the rise.

But surgeons said the report overplayed the risks of an established procedure.

Researchers from University College London reviewed all the existing studies on cosmetic labial surgery - which generally involves reducing the amount of tissue that protrudes from the lips which cover the vagina. They found there had been little work to document any longer-term side effects.

Labioplasty, as it is known, costs about £3,000 privately and is offered for a variety of reasons: some women complain that wearing tight clothes or riding a bike is uncomfortable, while others say they are embarrassed in front of a sexual partner.

Once again I am stunned at how totally insecure a large number of women seem to be about themselves. Sort of like when I learned that Faith Hill had been obsessed with getting breast implants. Very few of us men were finding fault with her, I assure you.

I’m going to take your word for it — sounds like you have experience with this sort of thing.

Thanks. I guess. ;-) Searching Wiki on labioplasty I can see where probably everybody is happier but without the inexplicable epidemic of alopecia belowthebeltus among women these days the “problem” might not even be noticeable ... ;-)

BWAHAHAHAHAHHA

Always best when you have nothing to say that makes any sense to fall back on name calling. Because one didn’t start posting here before the dawn of time does not make a comment less cogent or meanigful.

“I’m amazed that it’s still up.”

If it remains that way for 4 hours, it is wise to seek a medical professional. At least that’s what they say on the TV commercial.

Like you did in post #39, where you called buccaneer81 a fool?

Like you did in post #48, where you called me a moron?

Is that what you meant by your statement above?
