How to Suggest Labiaplasty to a Spouse

Labiaplasty is cosmetic surgery on the labia that alters the size and shape of the inner and outer lips. Though some women have especially large labia that can interfere with their daily activities and cause discomfort, most women who get labiaplasty do so to improve their labial beauty. Read on to learn more.

Instructions

• 1

  Learn about labiaplasty before you suggest it to your spouse. You need to understand why women desire it and what the procedure involves. You should also be aware of the controversy involved in labiaplasty; some see its marketing as designed to make women feel insecure about their bodies.

• 2

  Introduce the topic of labiaplasty only if your spouse has shared her dissatisfaction with the way her labia look or feel. If she complains once, don't suggest labiaplasty. However, if she complains on a regular basis, find out why. If labiaplasty seems like it would make her feel better about herself, tell her so.

• 3

  Emphasize that you find her attractive and that you aren't trying to impose your views of feminine beauty on her body. Explain that it's a procedure that's made other women with her attitude feel better about themselves.

• 4

  Research the procedure with her if she's interested in it. Be supportive as she determines whether the surgery is for her. If she's not interested, drop the subject of labiaplasty.

• 5

  Ask your spouse what would make her feel better about her labia if she continues expressing dissatisfaction. Remind her that labiaplasty is one option and that you'll support her should she choose to have this surgery.
