Waiting for Labiaplasty: What to Do in the Meantime
According to recent numbers, some people are putting off plastic surgery procedures because of the recession. This is as true of labiaplasty as any other procedure. It's not that women no longer want to undergo labia procedures, it's just that they want to wait a few months until they're in a better financial position. If this is true of you--you know that you will eventually undergo the labiaplasty, but it might … [Read more...]
The Recession and Plastic Surgery and Why You Should Care

In a study published in March in the New York Times, it was revealed that Americans are cutting back on cosmetic surgery--but mostly because of women, not men. and it's not just because of the lack of extra money to spend, but the tightening credit market and drop in the value of real estate are all taking a … [Read more...]

The Fad of Plastic-Surgery Addiction
I remember a few years ago, it seemed all the rage to admit to a worldwide audience, usually on a TV talk show, to have all manner of emotional baggage.

The Ultimate Guide to Vaginoplasty
If you watch TV any at all, you know that a couple of formerly-taboo subjects are now discussed openly, especially on commercials. Both are sex-related: One is the male erection (thanks to Viagra and related ads) and the other is condoms (because of--well, condom ads).
