Oh my! Elnoa, bless your heart! I cannot believe anybody would say that to you, especially a physician! That is awful and too fat? I dont think that is possible. Lol. Mine's pretty chubby and I never thought that was a bad thing and to be honest, I've never known a male who would think less of a chubbier or lop sided vagina. If by lopsided you mean one of the labia minora are longer/larger, you're not alone! I'm the same way and didn't know that was common. One of mine is pretty big and the other is barely noticeable! I've never had complaints and my partner says he loves it so I hope you don't take that physician's words to heart because what you described does not sound ugly to me. In fact, I don't see vaginas as "ugly" at all. Not that I see them a lot Lol.

I LOVED that you said "I'll keep my ugly vagina!" That was awesome. I'm glad you didn't let the dr get to you.

LOL @ "They also bleach their buttholes!" Ha Ha. I remember when I first learned that. I was totally freaked that anyone would put bleach there! Then I thought... uhh.. should I BE putting bleach there? That thought didn't last long. I'm sorry, but I think that's a little extreme.

She was a specialist I was referred to, as I needed some more specialized tests done than my GP could do. However, she worked at a clinic that also specialized in female-specific plastic surgery, and thus, I assumed she was merely trying to "sell me a new one".

Needless to say, I did not return to that office.

I realize your post is over a month old, but I am so horrified by the doctor's behavior that I would urge you to report her to the medical ethics board.

"The AMA and its Code of Medical Ethics have always maintained that physicians should provide competent medical care with compassion and with respect for patients."

She failed the "compassion and respect" part.

This happened years ago and I doubt I could do anything about it now. :/

I've experienced so much abuse (not all of it pertaining to my labia, lol) by the medical system over the years that I don't even have a doctor anymore. I don't even want to go. At this point, the one doctor I do go see at a clinic thinks I have polycystic ovary syndrome, but I need further tests and a specialist and I honestly just can't find a doctor that I trust enough to really go further...

I'm so glad to see someone finally mention the flip side of this, why aren't men being pressured to "fix" their genitalia?

I had it done, not for aesthetics, but because I had a growth that needed to be removed. None of my preexisting labia was removed, just the added growth. Women who have had tearing during childbirth are just some of the other's who have labiaplasty.

I think it's a shame to have an unnecessary procedure on equipment that is so important to your health & happiness. Every time I have been operated on & they cut me up somewhere, I have permanently lost sensation in those & sometime nearby areas. Some of the nerves in the healed areas are just gone & others give me itching sensations, so I would be afraid to have any cutting going on down there because of the nerve damage. Who cares if it looks "prettier" if it doesn't feel good anymore? I would never risk my sexual functioning on anything other than a medically necessary procedure!

yes i have because sometimes it is physically uncomfortable and i need to go to the bathroom to rearrange.

I cannot believe that someone of "professional" status would say something like that to you. That is repulsive.

I'm happy with my labia.

All vaginas rock.
