From ABC News Online:
There is mounting concern about a vaginal plastic surgery procedure more and more Australian women are having.
Each year more than 1,200 Australian women undergo surgery on their genitalia in a procedure known as labioplasty.
Doctors and surgeons fear that some women may be having the operation unnecessarily and there are concerns about operations being done by unqualified medical professionals.
In Britain, where the procedure is equally popular, medical experts are warning of a shocking lack of information about the risks and long-term impact.
It is controversial surgery but it is booming nonetheless.
For some, labioplasty is an exercise in Hollywood-style vanity, while for others it is a transformative procedure that trims, sculpts and restores a woman's genitalia.
But there have been no studies to prove its long-term safety and doctors are worried about its ballooning popularity.
