Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Wong statistics on this page
I have just counted myself all the negative reviews and instead of 20 “not sure” ones there are 60... and it’s not 87 “not sure” marked reviews, but 266!!! This page has a lot to answer for, by misleading women about this surgery. Satisfaction rate is NOT 96% at all, but probably 60%!!
3 years post surgery
It's been nearly 3 years since I had this life changing operation. No positive changes unfortunately, I am still in pain and with sensation issues, still taking medication and it's the only way I can function really. Sex is impossible, it's too painful and I have 24/7 burning in my genitals, plus I have minimal sensation, so sex is not appealing anymore, libido is completely gone...
It's been three long years and every day and every second I am reminded by pain just how devastating this procedure has been to my life . Honestly, if this wasn’t so easily available I would just be living with my natural labia, happy and healthy. It hurts so much to see more and more women falling victims of this totally unnecessary butchery and so many tragedies could be avoided.
I learnt that my left side was overrescted and triggered nerve pain, this can happen if they leave less than 1 cm of labial skin, and that’s what he did. It’s ironic, I chose that surgeon because he was very conservative in his method, and yet, he oversected and ruined me.
I have now learnt that labia is not "just the skin", but a vital part of sex organ and needed for blood flow and engorgement for sexual arousal. Labia is attached to clitoris via frenulum for a reason, there is a biomechanical importaint function and that tugging is essential for sex. I came cross a few reviews here where women report sensation reduction due to that tugging gone. Many surgeons cut at frenulum and therefore clitoris will require a more direct and agressive stimulation, as labia will not pull on it anymore.
I have also learnt that men prefer much more natural larger labia than "done vulva", nobody wants to play with scars really.. but with healthy sensitive labia.
The doctors do not know female genital anatomy in their vast majority, otherwise they would not be amputating labia or operate on clitoris. By the way, thanks to courageous Jessica Pin, clitoral anatomy is now being published and shared more and more, her mission is to make sure the drs are educated on clitoral anatomy before they go near this amazing organ.Believe it or not, most drs do not undergo residency training for these surgeries, my plastic surgeon had no idea how pelvic nerves are connected to labia and this cost me my health and well-being. As far as he was concerned he was cutting "the skin" only.
I am publishing pictures of clitoral cross section so that you can see how close dorsal nerve is to hood surface, the scary part is that many drs can operate on the hood with no consent, saying later it was necessary.
The journalist I was in touch with said that as many as 33% women getting this done have some sort of complication, and up to 5% will get serious complications (like myself), this is insane..
It's extremely sad to women getting this unnecessary and harmful surgery for no reason, only because they are told that smaller labia is more attractive? This is not true, certain studies show that protruding labia is seen as more attractive and women with larger labia have more sensation. It's beyond disturbing to see in Q&A section, how women with small labia are told they they would benefit from labiaplasty?! Those doctors are literally saying that any woman should have this procedure done! some pictures demonstrate very small labia, I cannot believe my eyes sometimes what I am reading.
Almost all post-op photos show vulvas with scarring and "done look", boobed and groove edges are very common. Maybe only 2-3 cases overall where I could say there was no sign of surgery..
Another very worrying and actually ridiculous fact is that female surgeons advocate for this procedure?? I saw female surgeons telling women their labia is enlarged and needs to be tucked in, no seriously, are they all innies themseles?! The study shows 70% of women are outies. So, basically this is a made up idea of small inner labia being attractive. This is not true at all. Look at guys comments on large labia sites and porn, they prefer and love larger labia, they say it's sexier. However, no man will choose his woman for her labia size.
What I find totally disgusting and traumatic is drs tell damaged women that the "problem is between their ears" and not between their legs... they suggest that they see a shrink, becase the symptoms they report cannot be from this surgery?! Seriously, this is quite a common advice. So, a woman is in pain clearly after this surgery or reports loss of sensation and they suggest she has a mental problem? They dont even realise that they are answering to a person who is potentially contemplating suicide:( Let me tell you, they know very well that these issues are more than possible with LP, but they wont say it, too damaging for the industry.

18 months post LP
Can’t believe it’s been 18 months since my surgery. Here is an update: nerve issue is still ongoing and incurable, I am on medication and still have bad pain., I cannot exercise, sit for too long, walk for too long, have sex or pursue a career; this is my life now thanks to this procedure. I am also quite sure my surgeon has not lost his sleep over it, he continues performing this surgery despite knowing he ruined my life and those around me. If I didn’t have children, my life would be pointless, but they need me, so I have to wake up for them. This is it, one stupid decision has destroyed me; my story is one of many unfortunately, for as long as LP is available and unregulated , many women will continue to be botched and left to deal with it for the rest of their lives
