Labia Amputation Performed Without Permission - New York

I did the surgery for medical purposes my labia were a little big and wanted to only get them trimmed not to get amputated.

My experience with Dr Scott Newman started out...

My experience with Dr Scott Newman started out okay I've used him before for a breast augmantation and it turned out fine. But when I asked him about doing a consultation with him about possibly doing a labiaplasty procedure I wish he was honest enough to tell my he didn't have enough experience. Instead he mislead me knowing that I trusted him in doing the procedure. He took my money and completely removed my labia (lips), he performed an amputation instead of just trimming them.

Now I've had conversations with him and he says that he perfomes all of his labiaplasty the same. I have pictures of the procedure but because of the type of pictures you have to check my blog to see the pics.

Great review?

Hi my name is Cristina and I went to Dr Newman for a simple procedure and he performed an amputation. The procedure I got was a labiaplasty.

It is sad this happened to you. Woman need to accept that all vaginas are different. Men love them....... and if you date a jerk who says alter your vagina....... get rid of him cause he is a jerk. Tell him to alter his penis with knife. And no guy ever said he isn't having intercourse cause your lips are too big. Please!!!! As for your doctor...... they all have a conflict cause they want your money.... So they all say they do this and can do this..... They want your money. Woman also freak about their vaginal smell...... Hey, if it's clean...... it's fine. And worse case, there are actually foods that make the ph of your vagina smell great.

You have obviously never felt the pain of having you vagina pinched and pulled during intercourse. Don't make assumptions about why people have medical procedures.

You are right.... I've never had that happen to me. In other posts I have stated that if their is a legit reason, such as the one you stated, then it might be a medical necessity. But to do it cause you think it looks better, that would be crazy. In Australia, the government actually leads women to believe that the "normal" vagina has lips that do not protrude. That has lead to a boom in perfectly healthy woman feeling they are deformed and having unnecessary surgery. And of course, many are botched and they girls suffer for life.

Hi, I've been considering the surgery I live in the uk, is there anyone had it done in the uk and would like to message me with your experience as I don't really no who to talk to and where to go about getting it done. Do I go talk to my actual doctor or?

Hi, I'm from the UK and have just started procedures to getting labiaplasty. After years of deliberation (I'm 23 but have wanted this surgery since about 14) I finally bit the bullet and saw my GP. She was hugely understanding and respectful. She referred me to an NHS cosmetic surgeon, but you can go private if you have the money. I met yesterday with the surgeon, who supports the procedure, I just have to wait for the okay to get funding. Hope this was useful for you. Good luck!

Don't be foolish! Don't let any doctor cut your vagina....... Vaginas come in all shapes and sizes. Don't think you are not normal. You are. Reconsider before you ruin your entire sex life......... If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I had mine refined not cut and I love it. Then again I went to a good doctor and had a quality surgery.

okay, you are not reading these reviews right, most of these procedures were done for medical and other reasons, not just for looks or for an idiot boyfriend

They are done for aesthetics, which includes more than appearance but function! There is also a huge psychological element in all forms of cosmetic surgery!

The same thing happened to me. I now have only 2 instead of 4, and haven't had an orgasm with my husband since the surgery 3 years ago, whom I had just married when I got the surgery, so we were newlyweds, newly deprived of fulfilling sex. I can do it "electronically" but not during sex, as there isn't enough there to create feeling/friction anymore. We both gave up trying after the first year. So sex is now solely to please him. I love the looks, but miss the sensation I lost by having half my genitals removed without my consent.

Well if you had the surgery I had, you would be loving the sex too. All labiaplasty is not the same ladies. Get the quality doctor or don't have it at all.

sorry to hear that.... my labia play no role in sex at all, as a matter of fact, they usually get in the way or get crushed... Clitoris and vagina orgasms are the only ones I get.

Hi, did you ever get this looked at? I had that problem and I'm not only experiencing my labia completely GONE and botched, I also have a constant "pinching" or "poked with a needle" feeling in the area where stitching were. It's horrendous. I don't even know if there's enough left to do a revision. He left skin on the top, appearing excessive and making my everyday activities VERY uncomfortable. It's should NOT be allowed and I advise you to seek an attorney, I have.

Hi I had mine amputated 8 days ago from Harley medical group. The surgeon totally totally removed my labia minor ears if they were never there. I only have the labia majora now. I want to sue him. I really could do with some support from someone who understands my pain and suffering and who's gone through similar to this. Please let me know.

Hi, had mine totally removed many years ago before procedure to trim became popular. For many years I thought it looked great. This was before the internet. Now I realize I was butchered! I'm considering reconstruction but am hesitant.

Hello again, I just want to let anyone who has had labia amputation know about a site I found that will make you feel NORMAL again. There are many comments about small/no labia. Go to www.medhelp.org/posts/Womens-Social/No-Labia-Minora/
  • Reply
OMG, that sounds horrible
  • Reply
If you thought it looked great, why did you start comparing to the ones on the internet? If I were you, and I'd have no pain, discomfort, and liked the looks, I would not even think of wasting money and pain on reconstruction

this site is not available anymore...?

I thought it looked great because I didn't know any better at the time. The internet did not exist in the early 80s. I thought my extra large, jutting out inner labia were abnormal. The pics I got to see were of models with very small labia. Now with the internet, the pics show women with big labia as the most desirable. This is why I have been considering reconstruction until recently when I discovered the medhelp,org site with numerous comments from women with very small or no labia at all.
