Default Labia Reduction

A friend of told me she is considering this type of surgery. I'm wondering what are considered as 'Large Labias'? I took a mirror to my V-Jay and noticed that my labia have grown somewhat!

Well I'd guess the picture on wikipedia would classify as large: Labiaplasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Still though, unless there's a medical reason I don't think getting elective surgery like that is a good idea. There are always risks with surgery, and it can be expensive.

Even if my wife did have a large labia, I'd still love her and wouldn't want her to go under the knife.

I had a prior GF with large labia. As far as I am concerned it it was just more to play with and it is beautiful either way.

It seems kind of sad to me that a woman would feel the need to do this unless it is actually causing pain or other problems.

small or large, certainly not a deal breaker.

When I first read this I thought "how silly...why would you spend the money to have that done".... Then I went to the wikipedia link.

THAT big... ya maybe. Seems like it would be uncomfortable at the very least, and could get painful. This may be TMI...but if you consider that the inner labia are more delicate/sensitive than the outer, then I would imagine chafing would be a problem. You'd never want to wear underwear or pants. Tight jeans would be out of the question too.

So, it would depend on the circumstances.

*And lol, but I NEVER thought someone's labia would be up for consideration regarding deal breakers! I had no idea anyone ever gave it any thought at all. ....and here I am posting about it. Go figure.

On another message board, some guys call large labia "meat curtains."

Have you given birth vaginally? Pregnancy changes a lot about a woman's body.

Well, not owning one, my opinion can only carry so much weight.

But honestly, I've seen mine share, and I have never seen an ugly one.

Mine's not as bad as in the picture in the above link but yes, chafing does happen, depending on what type of underwear I have on. It also makes shaving that area kinda scary for fear of cutting myself. It sucks. I hate the way it looks but I wouldn't get labiaplasty. Haven't had any complaints so I just deal.

We are currently in the middle of discovery depositions in a medical malpractice case involving a labia reduction. I'm assuming your friend is talking about her labia majora, which is what this case centers on -- although not as big as the pic I've learned more about labiaplaty than I ever cared to know!!

In our case, the lady interviews a couple of docs, none of whom have performed the procedure more than twice in their careers, and ended up with a labia amputation, literally. She is in much worse shape now than she was when she began. Inserting tampons is difficult, sex is painful, she has urinary incontinence (not sure I still understand the relevance here, but med experts are saying it's so) -- has to use vaginal dilators daily, testosterone cream, all sorts of stuff.

We have deposed over ten doctors so far in this case, and every single one of them said while they would perform the procedure (even though they have done two or less in their careers, and some only assisted during residency), it is almost always unnecessary. All of them have indicated that therapy would be more beneficial than the procedure in most cases.

If it is purely for cosmetic reasons and not because of some health concern, I would caution her to rethink it. If she's dead-set on going through with it, please tell her to interview doctors thoroughly....because once it's done wrong, there's very little chance of fixing it. Add in the normal risks associated with surgery, and it doesn't seem worth it unless it's absolutely medically necessary.

If it weren't a violation of confidentiality, I would send you a picture of the botched labiaplasty we're working on to share with her; she would change her mind, quickly!!! It's that scary!!!

Thanks for sharing nomoretogive. That's exactly why I really think that surgeries like this, if elective, are just so dangerous.

IMO just be happy with the way you are unless you have a serious medical reason to get things altered.
