Ladies, are you troubled by the appearance of you nether regions? Have you noticed that your "lady lips" aren't quite as taut and perky as they once were? Do you suffer labia envy everytime you happen to spy the pink-n-perky no-no's of the airbrushed babes in your boyfriend's girlie mags?

Well, help is on the way. Move over breast implants the lastest craze in cosmetic surgery is labiaplasty or "Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery." Supposedly, this surgery will not only make you look years younger 'down there' but it will also improve one's sex life by making the whole area very sensitive. One woman who recieved the surgery said: "a world of difference" to her sex life.

* Depending on the patient, the operation will either consist of a simple nick-n-tuck of the vaginal lips or a mini-liposuction. It may sound simple but the price tag is steep. One estimate states that the price is anywhere from $3500-$5500. No one is sure exactly how many labiaplasty procedures are performed each year but interest is growing.

Many more established surgeons scoff at the very idea of labiaplasty. The biggest complaint is the a woman's "special place" is very delicate indeed and the risk of destroying nerve tissue is much to great. Personally, I can think of a million things I'd rather do with five grand.
