Building the ‘better’ vagina
Detroit’s weekly alternative newspaper, Metro Times, has a great story on labiaplasty and laser vaginal rejuvenation. I’m just fascinated that this practice is becoming more and more commonplace. Have a look:
Starting at $4,500, a woman can have a labioplasty, in which her inner labia are cut and reshaped if she thinks they’re too large or asymmetrical. Or a woman can become “revirginized” and have an approximation of her hymen restored. (This is particularly popular among Middle Eastern women who need to “fake” their virginity before marriage.) And if she wants to combine more than one surgery, she can end up paying more than $10,000 for newer, tighter, prettier genitals.
This is the latest facet of cosmetic surgery — designer vaginas. Women have already nipped, tucked, implanted and vacuumed every other part of their bodies, and are now turning their perfection-obsessed eyes to their own genitals.

When might there be more pictures of the lovely Allie? Also, are there any other sexual escapades in your future that might be shared in your blog? It is a very exciting read, and I truly enjoy following your every move. Thank you for sharing!
Labiaplasty surgery varies. Vaginal lip reduction is more commonly practiced as opposed to “tightening” and other more fringe practices.
The operation is certainly more commonly requested as of late.

Hi Allie,
I dropped in to see what people are saying about Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation, Laser Reduction Labioplasty and Hymenoplasty.
I’m the only female board-certified ob-gyn in the U.S. trained in those procedures and have been doing them for over two years. Unfortunately, many women who see me have been told by their doctors there’s nothing that can be done to resolve their concerns. A woman’s body can change significantly after having kids and because of that many suffer with incontinence problems and don’t enjoy sex like they used to. LVR really helps in those areas.
For women with large or uneven labia minora, they are interested in labioplasty because it can be uncomfortable, even painful, while others may just want a “prettier look.â€
And I’ve found there are actually 3 groups of women interested in hymenoplasty (recreating the intact hymen): 1) women who must be certified virgins before getting married and may face being ostracized by their family or even death; 2) women who were raped or abused and had their virginity taken from them unwillingly and now want to give it willingly to a partner of their choice; 3) women who simply want to give their significant other that “virgin-again†experience.
There’s a lot of information on my site. Also, I’ll be on Dr. Drew’s new show, “Strictly Sex,†on July 13 on Discovery Health with some patients who have gone through the procedures. So anyone who’s interested, I hope you’ll check it out.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to post on your blog.
