Barbie Trim Labiaplasty

Barbie trim removes ALL labia minora! I’ve had a lot of you ask on Facebook what it entails. You have NO LABIA MINORA. Just some skin close to around your clitoris, that’s it. It looks like a Barbie, nothing hangs or dangles. It’s all gone. My labia had bothered me since they started growing at puberty and after every delivery, I felt them grow more. So after three kids, I was in pain with wearing thongs, lace undies, tight pants, leggings, everything seemed to pinch or pull. Swimming in the ocean was guaranteed to give me a yeast infection. It was horrible. Physically and psychologically it really took a toll on me. I tried searching for doctors in Mexico for this procedure, but none I contacted had any experience with it. I searched on Facebook and found Dr. López. She is an OBGYN but also specializes in plastic surgery. She is an absolute doll! I love her! I changed from my obgyn who delivered my three kids and of over 15 years with her because I just loved her manner and the care and time she took with me and my questions. She is further away from me but well worth the drive. Our initial consult was amazing! I was a private pay patient so no hassle with insurance information, so I was barely in the waiting room...it must have been a 10-15 minute wait at the most. She is a warm and friendly person and her personality made me feel at ease. She gave me the options of labiaplasty and I opted for the Barbie trim because I didn’t want to deal with any possibility of them growing again. My consult was on a Thursday and Monday morning I was there to get rid of the meat curtains bright and early. While I waited for the dr, her office staff was always very nice and accommodating to me and sat me in a separate waiting room away from the pregnant women. They gave me my meds and I felt very relaxed after half an hour. I was on my period, so I had to use a tampon instead of my usual flex cup because there would have been NO WAY of taking that bad boy out after how well she repaired and stitched the old girl up. I had local anesthesia and she performed the surgery in her clinic as the hospitals weren’t having non covid patients. I won’t lie, the initial shots fn hurt BAD. But I have a high tolerance for pain so maybe I was being a little dramatic. She used a laser to remove the skin and I could smell the meat burning like if I was at a bbq lol. The procedure took about about 45 minutes or so, so at the tail end of her work I did feel the stitches as she sewed me up. She reassured me I was doing great and I would be home soon to rest and not to worry. She gave me time to get dressed and I was on my way. Her nurse and my husband helped me walk out and into the truck. I slept the rest of the afternoon oblivious to everything around me.

Did your dr tell you that your labia calls "grow back"??
January 20, 2021
*Could
January 20, 2021
No, but it was out of caution on my end because as we age our skin everywhere will lose elasticity and eventually sag on your vag too.
January 20, 2021
Actually it's the opposite.. labia shrinks in menopause, labia doesn't increase with age
January 20, 2021
Again...it was MY choice. Thanksss.
January 20, 2021
Hello, I really like your result! One thing I’m scared about when I get the surgery eventually is the surgeon stitching the labia minora to the labia majora, I’ve seen a few videos and pictures and it’s my nightmare now. Did the surgeon show exactly what she would do and how she would do it?
January 20, 2021
Yes she did tell me exactly what she planned on doing and as she was doing it during the procedure. No labia minora and it gradually goes into the clitoral hood area. Personally I love how it looks. Although I haven’t had penetrative sex yet, my clit has a lot more feeling and reaching an orgasm through clitoral stimulation happened so quickly I was even a little embarrassed at myself lol, under a minute. The stitches look scary the first few days and as they are healing. Last night the last of them fell out and I have no more. The scar line is perfect
January 20, 2021
It happened to me :(
January 31, 2021
Im curious what this looks like? I think my dr might have done that to me but cant find anything online for photos to see. I had it done 2 months ago and will go back in to see if i can get revision
January 21, 2021
Hello where did you get this procedure done
January 22, 2021
I had it done with Dr. Annabelle Lopez in Weslaco, Texas.
January 21, 2021
I think you got the perfect result, congratulations!
January 22, 2021

Things are looking pretty good if I do say so myself! I got to shave at last, so that’s cool...no complaints other than sex is not in the foreseeable future yet as it’s still very tender. So much for Valentine’s Day!

No labia minora?!?!? Oh no! Are there are any long term side effects of that? Is this just aesthetic or does it tighten the vaagina?
February 3, 2021
Many possible side effects. All of mine was removed and I didn’t want that at all. We have labia for a reason.
February 9, 2021
This is what I asked for, I was not botched.
February 9, 2021
I elected to have this procedure done as my labia were long and uncomfortable, always getting pulled or pinched in certain underwear and clothing, or during sex. Along with the labiaplasty, I had perineal repair done to tears that occurred during childbirth. I delivered three big healthy girls all weighing over 8lbs and measuring over 22in long. Was there a medical need for it? Yes and no. To me personally after having suffered well over 20 years of physical and mental discomfort, yes I thought it was absolutely necessary. Not medically necessary according to my insurance. Vagina is definitely tighter and aesthetically pleasing TO ME. My husband doesn't like how it looks and didn't want me to go through with surgery. BUT, it's my body...and he nor anyone else tells me what to do with my body. Could one argue if labia are necessary? Perhaps. But ask someone who thoroughly researched their choice of doctors and who is happy with their results and was not botched. )
February 10, 2021
Yes I know you chose to have yours removed. I was just telling the person that asked, that yes there are risks to having no labia. I’m glad you are happy so far and hope that you won’t have any issues.
February 10, 2021
Hey nice results, I had mine done on the 5th. I’m just wondering how long did it take before you was able to exercise again? I’m getting so bored just laying in bed all the time. Wonderful results.

Hi there! I was up and exercising around mid week 3. I am walking/running around 4 miles a day and doing an hour of Zumba...dancing, squatting, lunges, jumping, etc. with no problems whatsoever.
February 14, 2021
Hey great results! seems very cute. I had surgery 1 month ago, I was wondering did you have any painful scars? painful to touch?
February 24, 2021
The scars from the labia don’t hurt anymore, and they’ve thinned out and I have a little bit of a ruffle to them again. Where I do have pain is in the perineal area and discomfort where she reattached the labia minora to the clitoral hood. Nothing insanely painful. Just tender after trying to have sex.

A ruffle???

Persistent211006
I am now 10 weeks post op! I am feeling great for the exception of trying to have sex last week (again) which caused me a LOT of pain. My husband is a big guy, 6’3” 250 and well endowed. TMI but the girth was just TOO much and the skin at the perineum tore! Like I heard and felt a pop and then there was blood. I am going to the dr tomorrow for her to assess the damages. I hope she doesn’t have to sew me up again as I feel the girth issue would just continue to be a problem for us having regular sex. (He’s been suuuuper careful, but it was an accident this time)

I am so sorry to hear that! That sounds scary and uncomfortable. Let us know what your doctor said and if they are able to help with this. If you dont mind me asking-- did your doctor put any stitches around your perineum or not? I had my procedure 1 week ago, and I am worried about this happening, even though my doctor only operated on my labia minora, not the skin around my perineum.
March 11, 2021
My dr also did repair the skin at the perineum. I had extra scar tissue there from episiotomies and from tearing during birth.
