“…2 Other studies have similarly been limited to functional and physical results of FGPS. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Bramwell et al 16 utilized semi-structured interviews to gain insight about psychological well-being of participants; their results revealed important individual variations in motivation, access, and response to surgery that were not detected in earlier research. In particular, most women initially reported feeling their genitals were "abnormal" and expressed the goal of achieving a "normal" (to them) genital appearance as the main reason for surgery.…”

“…Physical discomfort and cosmetic concerns are frequently combined, and many women relate feelings of vaginal and perineal laxity detrimental to coital enjoyment and orgasmic facility. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Female genital plastic/cosmetic surgery (FGPS) has been developed in response to women's desires to modify the appearance and function of their vulvas and vaginas. A growing literature is accumulating regarding the rationale for choosing FGPS.…”

Abstract:Background: Little prospective data exists regarding the procedures constituting female genital plastic/cosmetic surgery (FGPS).Objectives: To evaluate whether the procedures of labiaplasty and vaginoperineoplasty improve genital self-image image, and evaluate effects on sexual satisfaction.Method: Prospective cohort case-controlled study of 120 subjects evaluated at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperative, paired with a demographically similar control group. Interventions include labiaplasty, clitoral hood reduction, and/or aesthetic vaginal tightening, defined as perineoplasty + "vaginoplasty" (aka "vaginal rejuvenation.") Outcome Measures include Body Image, Genital Self-Image, Sexual Satisfaction, and Body Esteem.Results: As a group, study patients tested at baseline showing body dissatisfaction, negative genital self-image and poorer indices of sexual satisfaction. Preoperative body image of study patients were in a range considered to be mild-moderately dysmorphic, but matched controls at one and two years; genital self-image scores at entry were considerably lower than controls, but by 2-year follow-up had surpassed control value at entry. Similarly, sexual satisfaction values, significantly lower at entry, equaled at one, and surpassed control values at 2 years. Postoperatively, at all points in time, these differences in body image and genital self-image disappeared, and sexual satisfaction markedly improved. Overall body esteem did not differ between study and control groups, with the exception of the genital esteem quotient, which improved after surgery.Conclusions: Women requesting and completing FGPS, when tested by validated instruments, at entry report sexual dissatisfaction and negative genital self-image. When tested at several points in time after surgery up to two years, these findings were no longer present. When performed by an experienced surgeon, FGPS appears to provide sexual and genital selfimage improvement.http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/asjournal Aesthetic Surgery Journal Image, Genital Self-Image, Sexual Satisfaction, and Body Esteem.Results: As a group, study patients tested at baseline showing body dissatisfaction, negative genital self-image and poorer indices of sexual satisfaction.

This review investigates the quality and content of published reports relating to labial surgery for well women. Electronic databases were searched for relevant articles between 1950 and April 2009. Forty articles were identified, 18 of which included patient data. The specification of the study design was unavailable in 15 of the 18 papers; the remaining three were retrospective reports. No prospective, randomised or controlled studies were found. All reports claimed high levels of patient satisfaction and contained anecdotes pertaining to success. Medically nonessential surgery to the labia minora is being promoted as an effective treatment for women's complaints, but no data on clinical effectiveness exist.

“…(15,17) Labioplasty was generally performed on its own; in some studies it was performed in conjunction with other types of surgery including hysterectomy, perineoplasty, clitoral hood reduction or vaginal tightening. (6,15,61) Of the 18 studies on labioplasty, the majority reported the reasons for seeking surgery which were either medical/functional and/or aesthetic and/or psychosocial. Table 5.2 presents the proportion of patients reporting each type of reason for labioplasty, for those studies where the information was available.…”
