Australian gynecologists have blacklisted cosmetic surgery to improve the vagina.  The doctors claim that too many women are injured by the dangerous procedures.  Problems include scarring, infections and altered sexual sensations.  Some patients required reconstructive surgery to undo the damage.

Labioplasty, which changes the external appearance of the vagina usually by reducing the size of the labia or lips, is the most common vagina cosmetic surgery.  Less common is surgery to narrow the vagina or improve sensitivity of the G-spot.  Most of the operations cost at least $10,000.

Dr. Ted Weaver, chairman of the health committee at the New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, issued a statement on designer vaginas, calling them dangerous, expensive and unwarranted.  “We feel these operations might prey on people with insecurities and fears who actually need psychological help,” Weaver said.  “They are also not very anatomically-based and have the potential to cause serious harm.”

Doctors are concerned that women don’t realize there is a huge variation in the appearance of women’s genitalia.  “In one case we heard of a man bringing in a Brazilian pornographic photo and saying: ‘Make my girlfriend look like this’,” Dr Weaver said.  Just like hair color, breast size and booty shape, vagina size and shape varies widely among women.
