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.

Woo-hoo! Well-said,”Senator”! ;)

We DO NOT need to go there. The thread will be pulled in less than a heartbeat.
I'm amazed that it's still up.

“It never fails to amaze me at how shallow a society can get......who would even think of something like this?”
Agreed...and I’m wondering how that European socialized medicine thingy covers it...doesn’t seem to be a necessity, does it? They have waiting lines for broken legs for cripes sake...

I can’t think of one whose appearance I found less than acceptable. I would say all of them were equally attractive. What exactly would you change?
Wow!! And i thought the whole “pet rock” craze was an exercise in stupity!!!
Lighten up, Pistolshot! I bet even the Admin Moderator appreciates a cute beaver.
Seriously, as a woman, my opinion is that it is a sad attempt to remain as close to adolescence as possible. It is really pathetic. I am all for a chin tuck, facial peel, etc. But this, I would never consider such a procedure.
I guess we can’t ask for pictures on this thread...
I can sell you an old "mood ring." ;-)
before and after shots would be particularly helpful...
