One of the big questions for any woman considering a labiaplasty is: "How much will it cost?" The good news is that, compared to other cosmetic procedures, it's not that much. In fact, although it's not the least-expensive procedure, it does tend to be one of the lower-priced surgeries. Here's a list of the most commonly-sought cosmetic-surgery procedures, along with the average cost in the United States. Take a … [Read more...]

Men and Vaginal Cosmetic Surgery
I frequently hear men poking a little fun at women who opt to have either labiaplasty or vaginaplasty done. These guys think it's a little odd for a woman to worry about this (even though presumably they'd be all in favor of the increased sexual performance that the surgery might bring). … [Read more...]
How to Tell a Bad Cosmetic Surgeon
Most plastic surgeons are good at what they do--but there are always the few bad ones. This is as true in labiaplasty and vaginaplasty as any other area of cosmetic surgery. … [Read more...]
Labiaplasty and Vaginaplasty
It's amazing how difficult it is to do research on labiaplasty without coming across the term "vaginaplasty." Or how hard it is to find something on vaginaplasty without getting overloaded with information on labiaplasty. Why is that? It's because the procedures are so much alike that to a lot of people, they are the same thing. … [Read more...]
Guilt and Vaginal Surgery
I've found that for many women, the whole issue of getting reconstructive surgery on the vagina, whether through vaginaplasty or labiaplasty, is frought with emotional considerations. First, the reason that so many seek the procedure in the first place is because of negative emotions they hold toward themselves. Labiaplasty, for insance, is usually sought because of the labia tissue being overgrown. It becomes an … [Read more...]
Self Examination
For women self examination is very important and yet few do it. First, self exam of breasts is important as any lump that is new must be investigated. Usually the nonpainful lump is the one to worry about. Mammograms and sonograms of the breasts should also be done after the age of 30 yo to make sure all is OK. Examination of one's skin is also very important. Squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas occur in … [Read more...]
The Gift . . . of Labiaplasty?
This is a message for the handful of guys who visit this site. We've just come through one of the biggest-giving days of the year. But the fact that Christmas has come and gone doesn't mean you're out of opportunities to give a preset to your significant other. After all, Valentine's Day is right around the corner. On top of that, there are birthdays, anniversaries, and so on. … [Read more...]
One Couple’s Decision
My ex-girlfriend first found out about labiaplasty surgery during a lunch with a group of her women friends. I suppose it was an odd topic over chicken salad, but nonetheless, she found herself fascinated by the subject, although at first, she pretended to be slightly disinterested, yet polite. Secretly, it fascinated her and she listened, enthralled. She had no idea that a plastic surgeon would be able to take on … [Read more...]
Self exam – a modern taboo?
I often wonder why women look at every part of their body except the vaginal area. The face is examined for every blemish or wrinkle, the neck is examined for every fold or loose skin. the Ears are looked at as to whether they stick out or not. The breasts are evaluated for size and position, the abdomen is squizzed and pulled to evaluate its flatness or extra fat in it. Women look at their buttock and bemoan its … [Read more...]
Vaginal Rejuvenation Cream an Alternative ?
It had to happen: A Santa-Monica OB-GYN has invented a cream--That's right, a cream, that she says makes vaginoplasty unnecessary. The cream's creator is Terralynn Hoy, who created a product called Pk24. She said she did so after she heard men talking about how a relaxed vagina has negatively affected their sex lives with their female partners. This tightness vs. looseness is the main selling point for many women … [Read more...]
