Labiaplasty operations

Hello,

In recent years, we read some articles about labiaplasty.

Some people want to have their vulva like babies. What do you think about it? Do some people affected by magazines and porn videos? Do magazines sell body dissatisfaction, to reduce self esteem?

I think saying that a vulva looks a baby's simply because the labia aren't protruding is quite reductive (and rather discriminatory toward women who are entirely satisfied with their labia being of the ‘inny’ kind). After all, a perfectly normal vulva comes in all shapes and sizes. I also think the reasons why someone decides to resort to plastic surgery aren't necessarily black or white – such a decision is undoubtedly multifactorial. Sure, it's possible that porn (and the fashion industry in general) has played a role in influencing ‘aesthetics’ (and what's “expected” from men and women when it comes to sex), but I don't think it's necessarily all that simple.

For what it's worth, my personal preference is a woman with protruding labia. I find it incredibly erotic, in addition to being perfect to play with, pull, bite, clamp…

Plastic surgery of all types should be reserved for downed fighter pilots, as originally intended.

In which case women recovering from breast cancer and who had a mastectomy, and people who were disfigured after being gratuitously attacked (to give a couple of examples) wouldn't be eligible to plastic surgery?

Where was that initially intended ?

I've heard about Hymenoplasty during which a woman has her hymen re-attached and goes away with her husband for a second honeymoon. There are clinics in London that offer the service, I think one is the Regency Clinic…

Personally I like the look of large inner labia. To me it just looks like more to explore and play with.

But if it is causing discomfort or body image issues then I can understand why a woman might want the surgery.

Big or small - I love them all. Unless there has been an injury or a deformity that causes a functional problem leave as nature made them. It would be a boring world if we all looked alike etc.

I find that really sad when people think, they need an operation to fix something, that is totally normal. Plastic surgery is great for victims of car crashes etc, but I always hope it is not used to try to fix low self esteem.

If I had a girlfriend with such concerns, I would literally beg her on my knees not to put her health at risk just to meet expectations of random people. Innie or outtie, assymetrical, curved or whatever… There is only one case in which I would encourage her to do it. That would be only if she suffered from itching/pain during cycling, etc.

I have tiny lips , wish they were huge , but i see no problem with reduction if one wants

I am small. If I lay on my back or spread they spread. I have always joked that I was robbed by my sister because she is two years older than me and she has bigger boobs, a bigger butt, and large labia. She for years wanted labiaplasty. Myself and her girlfriends have always talked her out of it. She wears bikinis that have prints on them. She refuses to wear a solid color bikini because you can see her labia. She will look in the mirror over and over before going out to swim to make sure they cannot be seen. She asks me and her girlfriend if we can see her before she goes out. It is sad that she is that hung up on them but now that she has a girlfriend who has been with her for years now she doesn't worry as much. I introduced her to another girl who was large there. That was before she had her girlfriend. I wish mine were larger. I think that if her and her girlfriend ever split up she will have it done.

Your all great, male and female just the way you are and please don‘t feel you need cosmetic surgery. As part of training in healthcare I have personally been involved in such procedures and never felt good about it. Towards the end of my training I would actively go out of my way to be busy when I knew those cases were on the OR schedule.

I find large labia minora much more attractive than small ones. Have no idea on the percentage but I'm guessing that applies to plenty of other men.

When younger I had no idea that there was variation. Naively assumed all were like the gals I had previously known - tight clam vaginas. Then I began going with someone new and when began having sex I then saw there was such a thing as a large floppy labia. It really stood out when she shaved her pubes… I never complained about it and we never discussed it. After we had broken up, I learned that it did bother her and she actually had an operation to reduce and tighten her labia. Funny, maybe sad, that in all the years we were together and we were never able to talk about this.

A friend sent me this link to a labial cosmetic surgery. I would be interested to hear comments from the ladies.

Personally, I don't think I would let this butcher near a ladyfriend of mine.

I do like a nice plump pussy, but I wouldn't want a lady of mine to resort to surgery.

PS. I wasn't quite sure where to post this.

I think most of it is from hearing people call large labia “beef curtains” or “roast beef” or other insulting phrases to describe (with disdain) the longer, darker, wrinkly labia some women have. Porn of course gives men and women alike unrealistic expectations, but other vague aspects of society do, too.

I think i'm glad it exists as I know it is a big problem for some women. But I personally love how large labia looks and I'm always glad when a girl I'm dating has it.

Most girls ive dated had big lips, 2 were huge. They all disliked their big lips despite me saying how sexy it is. That said, I'm grateful mine is a slit, it's just easier pulling your pants down and all that's there is a line.

The woman ive started dating now is more of a stud that likes pleasuring more than receiving, but she did let me pull her pants down and she has an outie with a big hood and lips dangling behind it another cm. One lip is about 2mm longer which is the same as mine but you can only tell mine are asymmetrical if I pull my lips back, anyone that sees her nude can automatically see this.

She doesn't like it at all and had a labiaplasty consultation but did not proceed.

She doesn't seem body shy to me, but her focus really is on when I'm going to let her use a strapon and break my hymen lol, but that's a subject i'll post about elsewhere.

In my humble opinion, any man or woman who gets to see a women's labia is priviledged... period. Unless something is grotesquely out of proportion, nature's creation should be left alone. Consider the pain and ever present dangers inherent with any surgery. Never mind elective surgery in the area next to two places of bacteria laden elimination. Consider putting aside vanity for you and your choice of bed mates to enjoy what you have. If he/she is goofing on or shaming you, you badly need a different horizontal friend for more reasons than your labia concerns.

Without a doubt the mainstream porn etc present the idea of vulvas being a neat little clam with nothing poking through.

Personally I've never been in the situation where I was soon to have me head between a ladies legs and been put off by her labia. Big, small or any combination it doesn't matter.

Having said that its each individual woman's body and if she wants labiaplasty then I hope she gets what she wants.

I'm watching a documentary from the UK and apparently women are going further that breast and facial and butt enhancements now to surgically reducing labia size. It's growing at a really rapid rate. I want to know how many women would consider such a thing and if any here have gone through it and for the men how big a deal is the “ideal” body on a woman anyway. https://youtu.be/KfnB-SioRc0 its on Tubi and Youtube.

No I would never want to do that. My inner labia stick out quite a bit and I like them how they are, so does my husband, I like how they feel and I think it is silly of women to think that what they have got is wrong. We are not supposed to look all the same.

…and for the men how big a deal is the “ideal” body on a woman anyway.

To me, the ideal body of a woman does not look plastic and identical to the next, the next after her, the next after her …etc.

I despair of this unthinking, mindless trend that insists on physical conformity for all. Honestly, women don't need to have a uniform physical appearance, altered through surgery and with absolutely identical genitals - and there is little worse than a complete lack of variety. How boring would it be? And the supposed ‘ideal’, the standard, is decided by who exactly? My ideal is probably not your ideal.

There is one item that is being missed in the back and forth and judgement of women who elect to get a labiaplasty.

Some women elect to get them because of the chafing to the point of bleeding of their labia minora (the inner lips) that are well outside of their labia majora (the outer lips). It happens when they engage in running on a daily basis.

The first time I heard about labiaplasty it was for several women who were runners and had this as regular problem which they had tried to solve using padding. The padding did not solve the problem. They ended up talking to their gynos about how to fix the issue and that is how they came to have the surgery.

Are there some women who are doing it because they don't like how they look? Sure. But at the end of the day as well as the beginning, they should be the ones who decide what to do with their own body. No one gets to judge them for wanting to avoid physical pain. No one should assume they know all of the reasons why someone would seek to have any type of surgery. The decision to shame someone for choosing a surgery that elevates pain whether it is a breast reduction or labiaplasty is wrong. It is also wrong to decide someone is wrong because they want to change their labia for how it looks.

Until we walk in someone's shoes, we cannot fully understand their reasons.

Please stop judging women for what they do with their bodies.

If you don't like it, do not do it to YOUR body.

Your body, your decision.

Her body, her decision.

No one gets to judge them for wanting to avoid physical pain. No one should assume they know all of the reasons why someone would seek to have any type of surgery. The decision to shame someone for choosing a surgery that elevates pain whether it is a breast reduction or labiaplasty is wrong. It is also wrong to decide someone is wrong because they want to change their labia for how it looks.

For genuine medical reasons including chafing, I have no issue with that.

But there is a problem when society (or to be more accurate, fashion) develops an attitude that all must appear the same to conform to someone's idea of how everyone should look a certain way. Individual women do have their own choices, and yes, they should exercise them. But they should not be so-called choices that are made only to conform to external pressures.

Other than the IDEA of Large Labia and guy's liking their looks, all that gitters is not gold.

Maybe a few girls so blessed should weigh in on their pro's and con's.

I have tiny lips , wish they were huge …..

Annie2: Be careful of what you wish for. lol

Agree, getting a labiaplasty just to conform to some media advertising isn't a good choice, but it is a choice. The media obviously plays a role in making women aware of labiaplsty procedures. But does that really “tip them over the top” to go do it?? It's a woman's choice, for what ever reason she decides. We shouldn't judge. From a plastic surgeon who performs labiaplasty's.

Contrary to many misleading (and mis-informed) headlines, it’s not about getting a “designer vagina.”

The media may play a role in making women aware of labiaplasty, and have sensationalized it with celebrity accounts of “virgin vaginas”, “vagina facials,” and other exaggerated headlines, which suggest that more women are undergoing labiaplasty today because they feel pressure to look “perfect down there.”

Rather than a media-driven desire to look a certain way, increase in the popularity of labiaplasty is most likely due to better access: to information about the procedure, as well as to the procedure itself.

The vast majority of labiaplasty patients have the procedure to address discomfort caused by unusually large, long or misshapen labia.

Moreover, while some women do choose to have labiaplasty solely for cosmetic reasons, these patients simply want to feel better about the way they look in form-fitting clothing or to have greater confidence in intimate situations—the goal is rarely, if ever, to match a “porn star” look.

Well, here's another reason a woman might consider this surgery:

One shouldn’t judge others’ reasons for any particular type of cosmetic surgery. It is a personal choice, and no one else‘s business.

If I had several grand burning a hole in my pocket, with nothing else to spend it on, I would have the loose, excess skin of my stomach removed. It is from the weight I lost over ten years ago. No amount of diet or exercise will ever get rid of it. So, while my arms, chest, shoulders and back are muscular and well defined, I am still very self conscious to this day when I remove my shirt at the beach or pool. My abs don’t really show because of the excess skin. So, I can sympathize with a woman who is also self conscious about a body part.

I think magazines do play a part in both women’s and men’s self image. Just look at any women’s magazine cover, and the pictures inside. All slim, smoking hot bodies. Now look at men’s magazines that pertain to health and fitness. All the pictures of the men are ripped, muscular bodies with washboard abs. So, the never ending quest for body perfection never ends for many people.

One shouldn’t judge others’ reasons for any particular type of cosmetic surgery. It is a personal choice, and no one else‘s business.

One can question the motivation for having the cosmetic surgery without judging or belittling the person for doing it. I think doing it for vanity only is a poor choice - but it is their right to choose.

Congrats on losing the weight!! That's an accomplishment that's healthy and you should be proud of it!!

BTW I'm sure Dr. Oz has some magic elixir that will shrink your excess skin. 😜 😜 😜 😜
