Every year thousands of women undergo labiaplasties – a relatively new surgical procedure that alters the folds of skin surrounding a woman’s vagina: the labia minora (inner labia) and the labia majora (outer labia).
Derogatory comments about the appearance of their genitals, as well as physical discomfort during certain activities have been identified as key reasons for why women have the surgery.
Research from Flinders University in Adelaide explored the intimate experiences of women who underwent a labiaplasty.
