An alarming number of women across Australia are going under the knife in pursuit of the 'perfect' vulva, and experts say they're being sold a dangerous lie.
It was on a long-haul flight to Colombia that Australian writer Ellie Sedgwick found herself face to face with the dark reality of the growing labiaplasty trend.
Seated next to a man in scrubs, she asked him what he did for work, only to discover he was a gynaecologist who specialised in the surgery.
Ms Sedgwick recalled the moment he proudly scrolled through dozens of before and after photos of women's genitals on his phone.
'I do up to ten a day,' he told her.
