(DailyWire) U.K.-based plastic surgeon Dr. John Skevofilax is noticing an increase in the number of “designer vagina” surgery requests, a trend he’s credited to the tightness of athleisure clothing and leggings.
The New York Post reported that the doctor has been performing more labiaplasty procedures in 2022 compared to the same time last year. Skevofilax noted that he performed 50 surgeries in 2021, and had already done that many in 2022 by this summer.
The procedure includes shrinking the labia minora, or the outer vagina area, to make it more compact and closer to the body. Labiaplasty can cost more than $4,000.
Skevofilax said since more women have been wearing tight leggings, it’s become painful for some who have larger labia minora to wear their favorite clothing.
“Exercise clothing is a little bit tighter and it’s form fitting so it does put pressure on the area,” he told the publication. “They experience pain, discomfort in general, chafing … a lot of women will feel so uncomfortable that they avoid trying to wear this type of clothing.”
“You know you guys make fun of me for having a bigger vagina than most,” Khloé told her sister during the first season of the “Kardashians” on Hulu. “It’s a sliver,” she said, referring to the bodysuit design. “Is it just supposed to cover my [clitoris]? The vagina needs a little more fabric, just a little wider.”
“@khloekardashian it’s your lucky day!!! I’m in a @skims design meeting and we’re going to widen the shapewear bodysuit Vagina area just for YOU,” Kim shared to her Instagram stories, per Page Six.
