Very well said. I fully understand how it makes you feel when you're curious about it, and wonder if it is normal etc. I think it should only be allowed on the NHS for medical and psychological reasons, like the others have said, when you find yourself sat with scissors, then it is time to seek help.
I was the same at 14/15, Didn't think I was normal, thought no man would ever want me. Never had the courage to face my dad about it (My mum died when I was 2, and I have no Aunts) I got to the age of 18, and met my boyfriend. I was shocked to find out that he wasn't phased by my large labia, he didn't recoil in horror like I had expected and he didn't dump me.
We're still together and recently we just got to talking about it, while watching a TV show about plastic surgery, he asked if there was anything I'd change about myself, and I told him all about how down and depressed I felt as a teen cause I thought I was abnormal and ugly. 12 years later he still adores me, and my labia.
I love my body now, it took someone else to love me for me to realise I could and do love myself as I am.
My advice, don't rush into this surgery. You ARE NORMAL!! It's not disgusting, it's part of who you are. Only ever get the surgery because you need it. not because you fear rejection from a potetial mate,, any man who would judge you on that is not a man worth being with.
you should tell your mom, she will understand. Any woman would understand this situation and no woman would want that burden, especially if it isn't strictly for aesthetic reasons! I felt the exact same way before I decided to open up and tell someone. Doctors are extremely professional and have seen all kinds of things in their medical experience, it may feel embarassing for you but not for them.
Please!! dont ever try to remove them yourself ! It has to be done in a very certain way or you could ruin yourself from ever having a good sex life and could wind up in pain everyday! You are only 15 and in just a few years you will be able to legally have them taken care of if you still wish. If you still want the surgery, find a very experienced surgeon in this type of surgery. I think most women are happy after they heal but healing can take time. My close friend is fifty two years old and suffered from pinching and hated the way she looked. She had the "Barbie" which is total removal of the inner labia and just left a smooth slit. That was over a year ago and she is totally healed and loves it now. I must admit that she looks very nice with a completely different look.
Hi there!! Did you get the surgery done? how did it go? I am considering to get it done too but scared of loosing sensitivity. whole pleasure in the world = sensation down there.
