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.

I am reminded of a doctor I talked to at the VA. He had worked in the prison system and had a patient with scars all over the top of his organ. He asked him about it and was told that when ever he was let out he would take a needle and thread rubber bands under the skin and then clip the ends off. "Doc, it drives the women wild!". People will do wierd stuff about sex.

Are you one of those “grouchy” Americans I read about?
Bitterly clinging to your guns, religion and sentence
structure?

without the inexplicable epidemic of alopecia belowthebeltus

The "before" picture is fairly extreme ... I guess.

I really haven't seen that many, actually.

“aesthetically pleasing genitals”

ROFLMAO!!!!

IS there such a thing?

If so, why do they calling it “bumping uglies”?

[though I did have a gyno tell me that I had a “lovely cervix”...maybe mine looks like a smiley face or something]....;-D

FR is not a porn site fool. Pictures are not only inappropriate but they show your lack of class. Go back to your magazines

Thank you for the proof that you have absolutely no sense of humor.

Idiot.

I’m reminded of a friend in high school who sent off
for an “enlarger”....what he got was a popcycle stick
with a rubberband glued to each end..

Hshahhaha.

This is usually the part where some smart-aleck demands pictures for proof ...

Probably best not to in this case, though.

“”Doc, it drives the women wild!”.

Is this a euphemism for “makes them run away screaming in horror”?
