    Default I hate my lips, I have an "outie"

    I know this has been discussed before, I just had to vent this. I have long labia and as long as I can remember I've wanted "lip reduction" surgery. I've got an appt for a consult next week with this doctor who's one of the best worldwide and because he's in my area. Anyway, the lady on the phone said the surgery would cost around $6,000!!!! I'm like [email protected]#$%&*$#@%! That's what a BA costs! Or liposuction! Why does removing some extra skin down there cost that much! I want to have this procedure really bad but I don't know how I'm going to shell out 6 grand! Although it probably won't, I'm going to try to get my insurance to cover it stating it's not for cosmetic reasons because that's not the only reason I want it done. I feel like they get in the way, sometimes they get in the way during sex, get discomfort wearing certain clothes, showering, etc. Has anyone else had this? What's your experience been? How much did it cost and did your insurance cover it? Thank you!

    he probably charges so much because he has the best reputation and is in demand.

    You could get lapiaplasty for less if you really want it.

    That's what I said I wanted was labiaplasty and the receptionist said it would run around $6,000. Does that seem a bit steep to any of you?

    No, not yet, have an appt next week, the same day as the consult. Maybe I should reschedule the consult and wait to hear what the gyno says.

    I am actually looking at going to Mexico to have surgery (eyelids). I have had my mother, who is an RN, research the doc I am considering and he seems to be good. His name is Lazaro Cardenas and he has a website. I believe the price he has listed for labiaplasty is around $2000.00. I too have an outie. My bf thinks it makes sex better so I'm leavin her alone. lol

    There is a site called plastic surgery journeys that gives you tons of info on docs in other countries (personal accounts from patients). I know travel outside of the states for surgery isn't for everyone but if it is something you would consider check out the psjourneys site. Good luck.

    If you may want to travel pm me. If I go I'd love to have a travel companion.

    i feel the same way about mine. i have looked at sites about it. one thing i noticed is that if the actual lip skin is thick and it gets cut then it will look weird. i will look for a link to the site and post it.

    Please be careful if your going to Mexico. I have heard and seen some real hooror stories of surgeries gone WAY bad. Mainly because these "doctors" are even certified. I'd rather pay more money for a good credited Dr., than to have a hack job that puts my life at risk. Dr. Phil, I think, uncovered a horriffic Mexican practise. Not worth the risk....

    I don't know much about the procedure, but that doesn't sound far off from most cosmetic procedures.

    Sounds about right.

    and the surgery abroad is a viable option. Dr. Phil could have done a show about great outcomes in Mexico or botched surgeries by US doctors.

    What causes it to grow so much versus other girls? It's not fair I got them because I like them tucked inside like a little, hidden flower. I'm just pissed it's $6,000 because I wanted to get some other things done too like some lipo on my lower belly and already spent $4000 fixing my back these past 2 months! Ughh! Crossing my fingers my insurance will pay, at least some of it. It's not just cosmetic, I want them out of the way, it's even annoying when you're trying to wipe after peeing!

    I know, it's unfair. But look on the bright side! At least you don't need a nose job! (I do that sometimes when I'm lamenting how much I've spent on this kind of thing and will spend in the future.)

    are you thin? girls that i've seen (not all) that are bigger have big lips ( remember not all) but it is more hidden because they have the fat to cover it. I'm thin therefore it is hard to hide.

    Mine are big as well, and I've thought about it, but I figure it's not that big a deal. Any guy who's really into you isn't gonna really care, guys at work are either drunk or just to happy to care, some even like them bigger. And I don't really care....

    I think of plastic surgery like this : total cost (include staying home, healing, travel) and then consider how much it'll make you, how safe it is, any risks, and how much you'll enjoy the results. Now is it worth it? If it is, go ahead to me, this is a good way to think about doing it a bit more objectively. And if you want it enough for all that, you should be save up for it.

    (I like the theory tootsie... perhaps thin girls are more likely to have noticibly larger labia then larger women... lol)

    I've thought about having that done too but I figure if there is a market for the surgery there must be a bunch of women who want it meaning we aren't necessarily abnormal, just different than some other girls. I've never met a man who cared one way or the other. All that being said, if I had some extra cash laying around and nothing to do with it I'd have the surgery.

    Okay, I'm intrigued by this-I've never even heard of it! I don't make a habit out of perusing pics of other chick's labias, so I have no idea if mine are normal or not..I'm all paranoid now, lol! I would think I have an "outie", cause it's certainly not an "innie" in the respect that belly buttons are-Could someone maybe post a pic of a normal one and a big one just so I'll know?? I know this is an odd request, lol!!

    Yes, I'm thin, I noticed they started growing or getting longer about the age of puberty. But, I've seen many thin girls who didn't have larger inner lips. Maybe it's what's in our genetics.

    Oh, Em, I wouldn't mind having a nose job too because it's crooked, was born that way, but I guess one thing at a time. I just hope I'm not obsessing over things because now that I'm dancing and I have all this pressure to look perfect!

    I'm sure it's partly genetics. I mean, look at facial lips and how much they vary.

    Don't worry too much about obsessing considering what our jobs are. I'm convinced that plastic surgery was invented for strippers, rich housewives and transsexuals.

    Go for it....who else can better benefit from spending thousands to look and feel good?

    Maury Povich ran a show today about a Dr. in the Domincian who botched alot of surgeries, it was scary. I know there are just as many botched operations in the US/Canada but it is easier to sue these Dr.'s for malpractice than it would be to get any type of restitution from a Dr. in Mexico.

    yeah, I wouldn't get surgery abroad. But I don't knock it. I traveled to get my BL/BA and it was kind of a pain in the ass because I had to get someone to come with me, and I had to go back for two additional procedures because something went wrong. He fixed it for free, but I still needed to go back down there, get a hotel, etc.

    No matter what, you gotta do your research! I go for reputation over price any day, but that's me. I really find it interesting that so many people don't!

    OMG,,, Before I got my BA, at work, so many people were telling me I was paying to much, blah blah blah.. How I could get it for 3500-4500.... But I went to a great doctor with a proven track record who specialized in the type and placement I wanted. I didn't care that it was almost 7grand, espically now that I look at them I see some of those bargin basement jobs, scary!

    Sure, it may not be fair.. but it's genetic. Just like breasts! I see girls with bigger breasts all the time and I wonder why I was the one who got stuck with an A cup. Not fair, but that's the way it is and if I want it fixed I'll have to be paying about $6000 for breast implants.

    Just start saving up so you can get it done (and hopefully you can get something from the insurance company as well!). It's not something freakish and weird, so while you may be uncomfortable with it.. the rest of the world probably won't care.
    i may have lost my virginity, but i still have the box it came in.

    This is like asking why some girls are born with blond hair and blue eyes and some are born with black hair and brown eyes. It happens because it's natural for there to be variations in human appearances.

    If you don't like your labia I won't try to talk you out of getting surgery. I'm fairly certain I know where you went for the consult:



    Right? They're a marketing machine. They ask for the big bucks because they have to pay for their extensive advertising campaign that way.

    It can be done elsewhere for less. I would look on the makemeheal.com message boards...I recall a recommendation for a female urologist in Baltimore who does this procedure.
