“ According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, approximately a thousand “vaginal rejuvenations” were performed in 2006 — the most current year for which U.S. statistics have been compiled — up 30 percent from 2005. In the United Kingdom, the number of labiaplasties performed doubled between 2000 and 2005, reaching over eight hundred procedures per year. „
In search of the ‘perfect’ vagina (via gauntlet)
OH MY ACTUAL GOD. This is so sad.
I met a gynecologist in the pub the other night (as you do) and she described to me how she had recently performed a labioplasty on a woman who was perfectly within the range of normal. ‘Why are we doing this?’ the surgeon in charge apparently remarked, but the teenage patient was paying for it so they all sort of shrugged and carried on. AWFUL.
