Labiaplasty is often likened to female circumcision, performed mostly in African countries, because it can change the shape and size of the vagina by cutting off excess skin. This is a common misconception, as female circumcision refers to the cutting and/or removal of the clitoris. This cosmetic surgery does NOT do that. This surgery can ENHANCE sexual satisfaction for both partners, although it is not designed for this purpose. There are people who claim that labiaplasty surgery is not a necessary procedure because it doesn’t treat any life threatening conditions; this is the same controversy that surrounds almost all forms of plastic surgery, people will often have conflicted views on this subject but it should only matter how you feel and what labiaplasty can do for you.
