4:58Now PlayingDoctors have released guidelines to discuss labiaplasty with adolescences. There is a shocking uptick in teens who want the cosmetic procedure. Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Teen girls are increasingly asking their doctors about getting a little nip ‘n’ tuck—of their labia. So much so, in fact, that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has issued guidelines on how doctors should talk with adolescents about labiaplasty, a surgical reduction of the labia that is often done for cosmetic reasons. The short of it, they say, is that doctors should emphasize non-surgical alternatives and the wide range of what’s “normal” down there.
“Variety in the shape, size, appearance and symmetry of labia can have particularly distressing psychological effects on young women,” said Julie Strickland, the chair of ACOG’s Adolescent Health Care Committee and lead author of the paper, in a press release. “It’s one more body part that women are insecure about and it’s our job, as ob-gyns, to reassure our young patients.” This matters because, as Strickland put it to Vocativ, “labiaplasty is not a minor procedure”—and it comes with the risk of serious complications, including pain, scarring and infection.”
