Procedures under this umbrella term include vaginoplasty, hymenoplasty and labiaplasty. Labiaplasty is the most common of these and typically involves procedures to reduce or reshape the labia minora or less frequently the labia majora. A commonly desired outcome is ‘The Barbie’ vulva where the labia minora are trimmed to the extent of invisibility, with no visible protuberance beyond the labia majora.1 The procedure can be performed by gynaecologists, cosmetic surgeons, plastic surgeons and urologists with various surgical techniques described including wedge resection and labial trimming.2 FGCS is to be distinguished from vulvoplasty which may be medically indicated in the management of a range of congenital disorders, vulvovaginal malignancy, inflammatory conditions and following genital trauma including vaginal delivery and female circumcision. There are also cases of pronounced elongation of the labia minora where significant protrusion beyond the labia majora can result in discomfort in performing daily activities. First documented in the 1970s, FGCS is now advertised on clinician websites, featured in lifestyle magazines and a topic raised both in clinical and social contexts.3,4 In particular, the notion of the ‘perfect labia’ has entered public consciousness in the last few decades. Numbers of labiaplasty procedures have been growing over the same period in Australia, along with parallel rises in Europe and the United States.5 While accurate data from the Australian private sector is difficult to obtain as no Medicare item number is claimed, the number of women undergoing Medicarebilled vulvoplasty or labiaplasty in Australia increased from 640 in 2001 to more than 1500 in 2013 on a background of relatively stable numbers of procedures performed for medical indications.6 No publicly available New Zealand data could be found. Part of the issue is poor understanding of the wide variation in female external genital appearance within the community. This is coupled with no welldefined transition between ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ labial size in the medical literature.7,8 Indeed there is no such demarcation, with the systematic review by Hayes and TempleSmith which is contained in this issue highlighting the wide range of normal anatomical variation and that asymmetry between left and right side is common as is protrusion of the labia minora.1 The crura of the clitoris is contiguous with the labia minora and a major concern with labiaplasty also discussed in this systematic review is the removal of highly sensitive and well vascularised labial tissue with a potential adverse impact on sexual function and pleasure.
