Abstract :

Is this the last frontier of aesthetic plastic surgery? This past decade has seen a marked rise in the desire and performance of cosmetic procedures on the female genitalia. This emerging area of interest has drawn marked criticism and controversy from both inside and outside the medical field. While the terms, standards, and procedures have yet to be established, the demands cannot be ignored. The increased incidence is a testament to the sustainability of this field suggesting that this is more than just a fad and likely here to stay. As an active researcher and contributor to the field working side by side with gynecologists, Dr. Placik discusses the evolution of this special area of practice from the unique perspective of a plastic surgeon. The elective nature of the requests and the aesthetic goals are aspects that are commonly associated with plastic surgery procedures but with novel functional considerations that are often considered taboo. The benefits of a multidisciplinary team approach are supported. Dr. Placik?s history and experience and lessons learned and insights gained with over 500 surgical procedures are reviewed with a discussion of: Media frenzy, patterns of growth, patient complaints and requests, patient surveys, demographics, procedure distribution and frequency.
