I watched this documentary with my girlfriend about labiaplasty a while ago. So sad to see young girls cutting themselves up to feel better. http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/perfect-vagina/

Then again, I don't know how I really feel about plastic surgery. On one hand, I think every person should accept their body, but, on the other, if you have the power and guts to change yourself, why not do it? It's your body. How's plastic surgery different than tattoos, scarifications or piercings? http://tinyurl.com/5s5y3mb, http://tinyurl.com/6dkmf7o, http://tinyurl.com/yk7uzu6

I think if it's your informed choice, it's probably okay. Just don't do it because the magazines telling you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_modification

But the problem is that it stops being an "informed choice" when the only vaginas they see are from these edited magazines.

That being said I agree that plastic surgery is hardly any different from tattoos and piercings.
