heya, ive only turned 15 and tomorrow im undergoing the reduction surgery, im very excited and if you are scared to tell your mum just be aware that after 14 its legal to go to the doctors unaccumponied but when your under 18 you must have a parential guidance through this surgery as it is illegal if you dont, there is complications and alot of people say that sex is painful, there is a loss of senstain, and permenant pain these cannot go away but i think its rare that these occur. also, there may be swelling and scarring but the swelling eventually goes away and if it scars aparently its almost unrecognisable. im hoping all goes well, and also, before you get your surgery research your surgeons work as they may be sloppy! I hope i helped at all, x

okay people! my labia is pretty big but no one has ever commented on it. if all you people would stop getting surgery maybe it would be more acceptable! so cut the sh*t stop this surgery stuff and large labias can be more common

Women need to learn to accept their bodies and understand that there is nothing wrong with them. I am a man who is dating someone with large labia for the first time in my life and I think she has the sexiest vagina I have ever seen. Please do the world a favor and not get surgery. Large Labia make a woman's vagina look like a beautiful flower opening on a beautiful spring day! Picture that image whenever you see your vagina and hopefully it will make you comfortable with yourself.

Hiya, I'm 16, nearly 17, and for all those that have larger labia don't worry.
I wouldn't say I have large labia's, just normal size but sometimes I wish i had them bigger. my boyfriend always says that his ex girlfriend had a large labia. When i said ew he stopped me and said he acctually loves larger labias and that all his friends find them sexy. At first I was like na corse they don't but then i later discovered boys/men do acctually find them v.sexy indeed and sometimes i wish mine were bigger!!!
Please, if you have large labias, don't worry because boys do acctaully find them attractive and not a turn off at all.
You just gotta think, is it really all that pain, because we are all different and unique in every way and this surgery will make you all look the same down there.
don't worry and i hope this helped:) Kind regard oxoxox

This thread is really concerning. Everyone stop and notice the average age and virginal status of these posters. This echoes the results of a study of women seeking surgery under the nhs. Of these 33 women, 15 had labia smaller than the normative mean. The average age was 23 and 66% were virgins. Do you see the pattern hear. It is normal and expected for the labia to develop during puberty due to rising estrogen levels. Most teenage girls are not educated about this. I know I certainly was not. Thus given the fact girls ate used to images of prepubescent vulvas, and are not educated about pubertal changes in vulvar appearance, unwarranted concern commonly arises. I know I personally thought my labia were deformed when I was 18. I went to a very well respected surgeon for a labiaplasty and it was completely botched. Please read the thread "labiaplasty nightmare." please consider, for a second how much your age, naiivity, and inexperience are affecting your perception of your labia. Personally I was left with no labia at all. And now, at 25, if I had a choice to get labia back of any size, I would choose large labia. Now that I have seen more, I think they are erotic. Please maybe figure out how to have an orgasm and get familiar with the function of your vulva. This will likely help yoh see it more positively. Also, this might sound like twisted advice, but maybe watch some porn, and look at the comments when girls have large labia. No one ever complains. And i think if you get used to looking at vulvas it changes your view of them. Plus aroused vulvas are better looking. Judging an unaroused vulva is as unfair as judging a flaccid penis. So maybe waif until your aroused and then look at it, seriously.

What is the NHS and if I'm 15 thinking about doing this in maybe a year does that decrease my chances of being able to get the surgery - my age. Also how did you tell your mom about this, I love and trust my mom, I'm just not so sure how to bring about the conversation.

how did you approach the topic with your doctor? I am a woman of 38 and have had the same thing my whole adult life. I've still enjoyed a very active sex life but wont let anyone go down on me and therefore probably compensate in other ways! I really want to speak with my doctor but just dont know how to bring up the subject

How about while she's checking you there:
I feel my lips are too long, can you tell me who to see to fix that?

Hi there I never gave much thought to how big my Labia was. Until 1/2 years ago, it's embarrassing to me. I have a boyfriend of 7 months & he's never mentioned anything about it, ive always acted confident & never said anything about it; except one time he was like "nice lips" as I was trying to put on underwear, I didn't really respond but that comment follows me everywhere now. Sometimes he will have a difficult time finding my clit because of the excess. I feel self conscious, why couldn't I be born with a smaller labia? I haven't talked to anybody about except for I brought it up to my boyfriend today, he doesn't even know what labia reduction is & I just broke down crying because its so embarrassing. I don't feel normal and have been thinking about getting the surgery. After reading all the feedback on here it has given me an open mind, I really appreciate all the kind people on here, saying how its normal and to embrace it. It's nice to know I'm not the only one & that it is true, labia's come in all sizes. So for now I'm gonna give it another 1-2 years, see if I still want the surgery. My boyfriend hasn't done or ever said anything else about it so I am not super worried at this point but for my own personal preference I would probably like a smaller labia. Thank you everyone who helped me feel not so low about myself

Hey there.... I know it has been quite some time since this surgery, but I also have big labia's... And I'm maybe a little scared.... You still have pain? Or other things?

its been four years since you posted this, can you please tell us how it went? if you went through with it, how was the whole experience? im 26 and have been fighting with myself about getting this surgery since i was a teenager. it has lowered my self esteem sooo much and actually, when i was 17, i thought about losing my virginity to my boyfriend at the time.... we had planned a romantic night and well, he took one look at me and said "ew, why are you different?" since then i have been HORRIFIED about anyone seeing me. Ive only had one partner, and lost my virginity to him when i was 23 after we had been in a relationship, but i never let him see me. i dont know what to do... please reply.

Lucky you, i have been to my GP and requested surgery unfortunatly after the request being put forward to the govening body of NHS, it was deemed to be un important to pay for the costings, I would advise the young lady to go ahead with the proceedure as i'am now 50 and it has been a constant embarassment to me my whole life, I would have had a much more adventurious sex life had i of felt more confident about how i looked, go for it don't be like me and wait years before you go to your GP age and child birh make it enlarge even more so take heed.
Good Luck
