The rise in young women getting labia surgery

New research has found that labia surgery has become one of the fastest growing cosmetic procedures amongst young people in Australia and worldwide. That’s according to a new report by Women’s Health Victoria, which also found that nearly a quarter of Australian women aged 18 to 24 feel anxious or ashamed about their labia. And this is all largely due to unrealistic expectations informed by porn and social media. So what is behind this rise in labia surgery? And why is it more common in younger generations? We explore this in today’s deep dive.
