Vulva Las Vegas: science, magic or more of the same?

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference abstract

    Abstract

    Female genital cosmetic surgery is increasingly both promoted and defended against criticism at certain medical conferences. I offer an anthropological perspective on one such conference organized by the International Society of Cosmetogynecology at which women’s genitalia were portrayed as in need of aesthetic and functional intervention while simultaneously a medical ‘fix’ was offered.
