Designer vagina trend 'worrying' - BBC

[NashVegas]

A leading urogynaecologist has spoken out against the growing popularity of cosmetic vaginal surgery.

Professor Linda Cardozo, of King's College Hospital, London, says little evidence exists to advise women on the safety or effectiveness of procedures.

These include operations to make the external appearance more "attractive" and reshaping the vagina to counter laxity after childbirth, for example.

She discussed the issues at a medical meeting in Montreal, Canada.

Professor Cardozo said the most established vaginal cosmetic procedure was reduction labioplasty - a procedure to make the labia smaller - which is requested by women either for aesthetic reasons or to alleviate physical discomfort.

"Women want to emulate the supermodel. It's part of a trend. But they should know that all surgery can be risky.

This is probably the best anti-porn / porn is harmful to women argument I've seen yet. Until the spread of easily available porn, how many women had any concern at all they needed to have a delicate looking ...?

"There is no such thing as bad pussy. If any of you ladies have been told you have bad pussy, meet me after the show and I will give you a second opinion."

2. How do women know what supermodels' vaginas look like?

Porn stars, yes, but supermodels? :wtf:

I'm not happy about cosmetic surgery and the obsession with trying to have "perfect" looks according to present trends. But this is fucking absurd! Not only could this unnecessary surgery endanger a woman's health, it also could have effects on the sensitivity of the area and thus the enjoyment of sex.

Hence, "it's part of a trend."

A pretty horrific one at that.
