There has been a rising trend in surgical requests for ‘designer vaginas’ more akin to cosmetic breast surgery. This is rampant in the West, but such requests are becoming common in Kenya. Vaginoplasty refers to cosmetic vaginal surgery, usually aiming to tighten up a loose vagina. Vaginoplasty is commonly combined with Labiaplasty, which aims to change the appearance of the vaginal lips (labia) to a cosmetically appealing look.
