Labia: So Just What’s Normal?
Since much of labiaplasty surgery is concerned with modifying a woman's labia to become closer to what is considered "normal," it seems reasonable to discuss what is normal. But before we do so, let me say that my take on labiaplasty is somewhat different than even most patients. I don't think the purpose should be to become "normal," whatever that means.
