Labiaplasty: For Adults Only
Labiaplasty is a procedure for an adult female who is able to make adult decisions about her own body. Most people care about the way they look.

Vaginoplasty: NOT Genital Mutilation

Letter for Financial Assistance for Plastic Surgery
I won't lie to you. It can be quite difficult getting an insurance company to pay for either a labiaplasty or vaginoplasty operation. Plastic surgery in general tends to be considered elective surgery, and so the insurance companies aren't as quick to pay for these. And even less so for these two particular operations. However, a few people have managed to get insurance to cover it by writing a convincing letter … [Read more...]
