We all want to feel good about our bodies, even our most intimate areas. That being said, it can often be awkward to admit to feeling insecure about your sensitive spots, especially to a doctor. We wanted to break down the stigma behind elective labia surgery, so you can feel more confident in your decision to enhance your body.
Feeling Good About Your Body Matters
First and foremost, it’s always most important that you feel comfortable in your own skin. You’re always going to have your body, so you should love every single part of it – whether people see those parts or not. Enhancing your private areas to look the way you want them to look is nothing to be ashamed of. Every day people come in the enhance the size and shape of their lips or breasts, so why shouldn’t you feel confident doing the same for your flower?
Labiaplasty Isn’t Just About the Sex
One of the biggest misconceptions about labiaplasty is that women who undergo the procedure are just doing so because they want their vagina to look prettier during sex. In reality, many women who decide to undergo labiaplasty are doing so because their enlarged labia minora are uncomfortable in their clothes and while doing every day activities. Many women have to sacrifice wearing the clothes, swimsuits and underwear they desire because their labia chafe or are exposed. Labiaplasty gives women the opportunity to wear what they want without worrying about discomfort or wardrobe malfunctions.
Labiaplasty is for Every Woman at Every Age
Our last misconception about labiaplasty is that it’s only appropriate for younger, more sexually active women. Really, any woman who is uncomfortable with the size of their labia is more than qualified and justified to receive a labiaplasty. In fact, as we get older, our bodies begin to change. It’s common for women who have given birth or whose skin has gotten more lax with time to consider labiaplasty later in life. These women should feel just as empowered to own their bodies as our younger patients who come in for the same procedure.
