Labia amputation - what are my options if I signed a waiver?

Question

My labia have been completely amputated (without my consent) and I feel like I paid $5,000 for my genitals to be mutated. I know I signed a waiver but there must be something I can do to have this man investigated so this doesn’t happen to any other women.

Thank you for your question You can consult an attorney to read your waver and give a legal opinion Typically, the waiver says you agreed to this procedure. Amputation or “trimming “ procedures have many surgeons who remove it all. I strongly disagree with not leaving enough labia to cover the vaginal opening but it is something being performed. It is up to The patient to review the surgeons work and ask questions as to what will be done .Many surgeons take a weekend course or two and believe they know enough to perform these procedures.What you can do for other women is to encourage them to do their homework, learn about their options, and investigate their surgeons and look at reviews and before and after photos before having surgery.

Hello . Can you send your post-operative photos? How can revision surgery be performed after seeing your pictures? I can comment
When was your surgery done? revision surgeries can be performed at the earliest 3-4 months after the first surgery.
