Jacksonville Cosmetic Surgeon - Jacksonville Labiaplasty

• Do large or uneven vaginal lips cause you pain,
  hygiene problems or embarrassment?
• Are your vaginal lips, or labia, noticeable when you wear a bathing suit or tight-fitting jeans?
• Do your labia cause you pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse or while riding a bicycle?
• Have large or uneven labia ever embarrassed you in an intimate relationship?

If so, you’re not alone. With the rising popularity of bikini waxing, many women have become more aware of the appearance of their genitals. And the abundance of sexually explicit material on TV, online and in men’s magazines has resulted in many women comparing their genitals to what they see on the screen or in print. In some cases, comments from a sexual partner may also prompt women to seek a way to reshape their uneven or protruding labia.

Years ago, the only women who had labiaplasty, or plastic surgery on their vaginal lips, were swimsuit models or women who worked in sex-related industries. This is changing with the increase in the overall popularity of plastic surgery, as well as the new openness concerning men’s and women’s sexual issues.

The March 2007 issue of Plastic Surgery News, published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reports that some labiaplasty patients simply “have a desire to look neat,” while a majority of patients want the procedure “for a combination of aesthetics and to alleviate discomfort, be it during intercourse, wearing tight clothes or participating in horseback riding and other sports.”

ASPS statistics show that female genital cosmetic surgery is one of the fastest-growing types of cosmetic surgery in the U.S.—increasing 30% from 2005 to 2006 alone. And one of the most common procedures is labiaplasty.
