‘It’s almost like genital mutilation’: Plastic surgeon tells of his work repairing botched labiaplasties
Professor Mark Ashton saw one woman with her labia 'entirely amputated'.
Professor Mark Ashton says the rise in young women having undergone botched labiaplasties is “nothing short of worryingly spectacular”.
The number of women coming to him for repairs has grown from a few each year to two or three every week, he says.
Distressed and often in pain, in the most severe cases, there is little he can do for them.
“It is not uncommon for the labia to have been completely amputated,” says the chair of plastic surgery at Epworth Freemasons Hospital in Melbourne.
