If the remains of the hymen are not enough, he takes a sample from the surrounding mucous membrane to rebuild a solid membrane. He then sutures with an absorbable suture which disappears after ten to fifteen days. The scar, which is hidden in the folds of the hymen, is completely invisible. • After the surgery The patient feels very mild pain and can return to work the next day.

  • Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery Exceptional
    FEMALE GENITAL COSMETIC SURGERY EXCEPTIONAL FUNDING REQUIRED BaNES, Swindon and Wiltshire CCG (BSW) does not normally fund elective vaginal labial surgery, vaginoplasty or hymenorrhaphy. Clinicians must ensure there is a clear clinical rationale for any potential intervention, as all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia for non-clinical reasons are defined as Female Genital Mutilation and as such are against the law. (The Female Genital Mutilation Act of 2003) Clinicians must be alert to the possibility that some patients who seek revision surgery may do so as a result of previous interventions which are classed as unlawful under the Act. Background Labiaplasty A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the labia minora. Labiaplasty is generally a cosmetic procedure to change appearance alone and common consequence of childbirth is not sufficient reason to apply for funding. Labiaplasty is not normally supported or funded by the CCG. Vaginoplasty Non-reconstructive vaginoplasty or "vaginal rejuvenation" is used to restore vaginal tone and appearance. As this is generally considered a cosmetic procedure, vaginoplasty is not normally supported or funded by the CCG. Hymenorrhaphy Hymenorrhaphy, or hymen reconstruction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure and is not normally supported or funded by the CCG. This policy does not relate to reversal of female genital mutilation. This policy is informed by the NHS England (2013) Interim Clinical Commissioning Policy Labiaplasty, Vaginoplasty & Hymenorrhaphy.

    This is a pre-copy-editing, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in “Medical Law Review, following peer review. The definitive publisher-authenticated version: Reason and Paradox in Medical and Family Law: Shaping Children's Bodies Brian D Earp, Jennifer Hendry, Michael Thomson Medical Law Review, Volume 25, Issue 4, Autumn 2017, Pages 604–627, The article is available online at: https://academic.oup.com/medlaw/article- abstract/25/4/604/3852239?redirectedFrom=fulltext REASON AND PARADOX IN MEDICAL AND FAMILY LAW: SHAPING CHILDREN’S BODIES Brian D. Earp, Jennifer Hendry & Michael Thomson ABSTRACT Legal outcomes often depend on the adjudication of what may appear to be straightforward distinctions. In this article, we consider two such distinctions that appear in medical and family law deliberations: the distinction between religion and culture, and between therapeutic and non-therapeutic. These distinctions can impact what constitutes ‘reasonable parenting’ or a child’s ‘best interests’ and thus the limitations that may be placed on parental actions. Such distinctions are often imagined to be asocial facts, there for the judge to discover. We challenge this view, however, by examining the controversial case of B and G [2015]. In this case, Sir James Munby stated that the cutting of both male and female children’s genitals for non- therapeutic reasons constituted ‘significant harm’ for the purposes of the Children Act 1989. He went on to conclude, however, that while it can never be reasonable parenting to inflict any form of non-therapeutic genital cutting on a female child, such cutting on male children was currently tolerated.

  • 6 Oeming in VULVA VANITAS
    IN VULVA VANITAS – The Rise of Labiaplasty in the West By Madita Oeming, University of Paderborn, Germany Abstract Since the turn of the 21 st century, more and more women choose to undergo Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery (FGCS) to fit a vulvovaginal aesthetic ideal. With a focus on reduction labiaplasty as the currently most widespread of these procedures, this article examines FGCS through a critical cultural studies lens to position it within larger feminist debates about body image, consumer culture, and female agency. A central question is where our Western ideal of female genital appearance comes from that incites the desire to undergo surgical body modification? Against the backdrop of post-colonial criticism, the article challenges the distinction between FGM in non-Western cultures and FGCS in the West through questioning the notion of informed consent associated with the latter. By bringing together otherwise separate voices from various disciplines, the overall aim is to present FGCS as an intricate interface between biology, psychology, culture, and media discourse. 1 “It’s time to let my labia rip and rearrange this.” – from “Pussy Manifesto” by Bitch & Animal 1 Try this: walk into a drug store, grab a shopping cart, and put inside every product designed to optimize the female-coded body. Spoiler alert! One cart will not be enough. Shampoo to make our hair shiny, lotions to make our skin smooth, toothpaste to whiten our teeth, concealer to hide our freckles, gloss to boost our lips, face masks to make us look like we had enough sleep, fake nails, fake lashes, fake tan – the assortment is as endless as its subtext is loud and clear: your body needs modification! A plethora of anti-something products provide an exhaustive list of things we are supposed to work on: frizz, cellulite, pimples, puffiness, dark circles, body hair, brittle nails, stretch marks, belly fat, to name just a few; and of course, any sign of aging whatsoever, from grey hair to wrinkles to saggy arm skin.

  • Labiaplasty / Vaginoplasty Commissioning Policy
    Commissioning Statement: Condition or Labiaplasty / Vaginoplasty Treatment: Background: This commissioning policy is needed as cosmetic procedures are not routinely commissioned. Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure where the folds of the labia minora are partially removed, usually for cosmetic reasons alone to change appearance. Non-reconstructive vaginoplasty or "vaginal rejuvenation" is another cosmetic procedure used to restore vaginal tone and appearance Note: Female circumcision is prohibited in law by the Female Genital Mutilation Act 20031 and is the subject of multi-agency guidelines from the Department of Health. Patients who have undergone female genital mutilation should be referred to a specialist female genital mutilation clinic via NHS England. Commissioning The CCG will ONLY routinely commission reconstructive labiaplasty/ position: vaginoplasty: • Following surgery for cancer; • vaginal repair following delivery; • for dyspareunia caused by scarring from vaginal delivery (including Fenton‟s procedure); • for scarring caused by underlying dermatology condition such as Lichen Sclerosis NHS North Yorkshire CCG does not routinely commission labiaplasty/ vaginoplasty, for cosmetic reasons, as these procedures are considered to be of limited clinical value. This is in line with the Interim Clinical Commissioning Policy produced by NHS England. Requests for labiaplasty will be considered, via a request to the IFR Panel, for the following indication: • Where the labia are directly contributing to recurrent disease or infection Requests for vaginoplasty will be considered, via a request to the IFR Panel, for the following indication: • Congenital absence or significant developmental/endocrine abnormalities of the vaginal canal, The clinician needs to submit an application to the CCG‟s Individual Funding Request Panel (IFR) Referral Exceptional cases can be referred to the CCG’s Individual Funding Guidance: Request Panel for prior approval.
