Question: How Many Women Are Getting Labiaplasties?
Answer: The American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) states 1,030 "vaginal rejuvenation" procedures were performed in 2006. The two recognized plastic surgery organizations in the United States, the American Society of Plastic Surgery and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), stopped tracking these procedures after 2006. However, surgeons in the United States, the United Kingdom, as well as in other developed nations, report that the procedure seems to be growing exponentially in popularity.
