Spin classes and athleisure trends may be to blame for the new obsession with “designer vaginas,” a trend that has plastic surgeons seeing a sharp increase in requests for labiaplasty procedures.
According to one surgeon, the increase has to do with women becoming more aware of their anatomy while sat atop stationary bicycles.
Looking to plastic surgeons for comfort and aesthetic solutions, the plastic surgery procedure has become especially popular among the SoulCycle crowd – fans, usually women, of the high-intensity spin class that promises “a powerful mind-body experience,” in addition to a workout.
As a Plastic Surgeon who has performed labiaplasties for over 18 years, I find this article inaccurate. Spin class and bike riding in general, are not a leading concern for women who seek labiaplasty. There very personal decision to undergo labiaplasty for comfort and aesthetics seems to bewilder the public such that “reasons” are continually sought by the media.A woman’s choice to alter her body do not require justification and are simply that-a choice.
