Curious about surgery on vaginal lips

[alittleshy]

I have large vaginal lips that i have always been very self conscious about.  My boyfriend likes them but I am not comfortable.  I have never heard of surgery to reduce them but there's surgery for everything else and I was wondering if that was an option.  I don't see it as a big risk on nervers or anything else because it is only the lips.  If you have any information on a possible operation I would appreciate it.  Thank you so much.

just recently i have noticed that my lips have grown larger. i have frequent sex with my boyfriend. my question is will they get larger do to constant sex or is it just something that grows on its own.

While I definitely agree that surgery is unnecessary for aesthetics, I do think that for reasons of discomfort it is an option to consider.    I never noticed that my lips were actually larger than usual until my gyno pointed it out (real sensitive woman she was! geez). They have never really bothered me too much on a day to day basis, but maybe that's because I've never known them any other way.  In general, I think choices like this should be about comfort and health.  If you cannot be physically comfortable, you will not be able to be comfortable psychologically either.  For me, boyfriends I've had have always liked my large lips, and at this point anyone who would have a problem with them would not be sexually open enough for my liking. It's taken a long time of thinking and forums like this to get it through my head that my body is beautiful the way that it is.  Also helpful for me was reading up on forced female genital mutilation in other cultures, which made me appreciate what I have.  Keep up the good discussion ladies, i think it is helpful for so many women.  And...lets honor our bodies and the fact that we are not forced at a young age to have them scarred!

It's incredibly embarassing and feels like it can be seen when I'm in a swimsuit or underwear and can be uncomfortable and VERY annoying. Some guy even started a rumor that I had balls! I'm embarrased and unconfident.

I guess it would be easy for people to say that you should just be happy with your body, when you don't have vaginal lips. It is really embarrassing to be in a swimsuit and what if you don't have a boyfriend. I would know, and I don't want to even try to get another guy to even look at me. It is really nerve racking and it's really hard because i feel like they always get caught in my underwear and it really hurts. What should I do about that? I am really confused, please someone help me. I don't have the money and my mother will refuse to back me up on this. It's just really hard for me to go about everyday things.

Thank you so much for your words and references to met art and other sites. I have been doing so much research in the last few weeks in order to reassure myself that I am okay. It has left me feeling really confused, and I had already booked in to see a plastic surgeon for a consultation on labioplasty this week.

However, when I looked at the photos of Andi Valentino and others with larger labia, I was so amazed, that someone so beautiful could also have a vulva with fuller labia. There is so much secrecy surrounding this subject and unless you are a doctor or a man, you have no idea the variation in form. Wow. Simply amazing. Women need to talk more and compare more...

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
