Along with questionable procedures like the G-Shot and its alleged orgasm enhancements, vaginal “rejuvination” surgeries (vaginoplasty) are just as scary and harmful as us sex educators and people with general common sense already *knew*. Snip:
Cosmetic procedures billed as “vaginal rejuvenation,” “designer vaginoplasty” or even “revirgination” are not medically necessary and are not guaranteed to be safe, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists cautioned on Friday.
The group, which educates and accredits doctors who treat women and deliver babies, said it is deceptive to give the impression that any of these procedures are accepted or routine.
In guidance published in the September issue of its journal, Obstetrics & Gynecology, the group, known as ACOG, said the procedures can cause complications such as infection, altered sensation, pain and scarring.
The procedures include changing the shape or size of the labia, “restoring” the hymen, and tightening the vagina.
Dr. Abbey Berenson, who helped write the guidelines, said some women may be fooled by deceptive marketing practices into thinking they need the surgery because they are somehow abnormal.
