- I don't wanna make any I interview look bad,

I don't wanna make anyone who watches this feel bad,

- [Merle] What do you think this weekend is gonna be?

- I would expect crying, maybe even nudity,

- [Man] So are you alone in this tree house?

I'm going to be airing my largest insecurity

This is something that I've never really talked about.

It's going to be an experience for all of us.

and I loved to be naked, I would run around the house naked,

and she always would encourage me as a little girl

to take a mirror and go explore you know,

Somewhere over time, I would look at myself

I would see what I thought was the normal vulva

that was very neat, hairless pink, no drama, like a line.

You know what I did to try to find out if I was normal,

and if my body was normal, I went on the internet.

I remember typing in what does a normal vagina look like?

there's even reports that girls as young as nine years old

How is this happening and nobody's talking about it?

So I decided I should go talk to a surgeon.

- Labiaplasty has been around just for a few decades.

The first report in the medical literature

of labiaplasty just in terms of cultural,

you know, female circumcisions, or genital mutilations.

Usually when people just say labiaplasty,

and though that's the inner leaf lit of lips,

- I see patients, sometimes where the labia minora

is longer or asymmetrical, and it bothers them.

Those are patients that we can fix their labia surgically

but it's not recommended unless it bothers them.

So patients who are teenagers who're either brought

are actually very supportive of their daughters.

I do notice that usually it's that the patients

and you're talking about surgery in your genital area.

In the wrong hands patients can have scar tissue formation,

and their sensitivity in that area can be affected.

There's always risk of bleeding, there's risk of infection,

and in certain types of labiaplasty patients

- Some possible complications of the labiaplasty

include, of course, having a symmetry at the end.

I mean the goal is to make sure that your labia

are as symmetric and aesthetically pleasing as possible.

- [Merle] How do we decide what normal is?

- I would consider a normal or average appearing vulva

to be one where the labia minora do not protrude

past the labia majora or if they do protrude,

it's just slightly you know less than a centimeter.
