Robert Rho Discusses New "Centrefold" Animated Documentary, Highlights Modern Labiaplasty

PHILADELPHIA, PA, September 12, 2012 (Press-News.org) For most women, the idea of vaginal reconstruction via labiaplasty procedures is a subject that does not get discussed often. However, according to a recent article, a new animated documentary supported by the Wellcome Trust is attempting to shed light on the plastic surgery procedure. The film, titled Centrefold, runs nine minutes in length and uses real interviews with women who have undergone the procedure in an attempt to expand discussion on the subject. The film presents the information in a straightforward manner, as the creators behind The Centrefold Project are asking the public whether or not they support labiaplasty. Dr. Robert Rho, world renowned cosmetic gynecological surgeon specializing in labiaplasty, reveals that for many women, the choice to undergo the procedure can prove to be an empowering decision.

Although the film lacks a stance, the article notes that the film is "a welcome contribution" to the conversation of labiaplasty. It states, "The film is a great teaching tool and starting point for a discussion of embodiment, shame, and difference. It's also presents a challenge for educators who believe that simply expanding definitions of what is normal is the only possibility in discussions of bodies and difference." Dr. Robert Rho highlights the importance of the film, stating that it offers a rare look into the minds of women afflicted with disfigured labia.

Those subjects who were interviewed in the film discuss a wide range of complications that arise from having this cosmetic problem. For example, the women note that before labiaplasty they experienced embarrassment, self-confidence issues, physical discomfort, blisters and problems with their sex lives. For these reasons, Dr. Robert Rho explains that labiaplasty procedures can be a great way to boost one's confidence. Many of those in the film state that their sex lives and self-esteem improved after the surgery.

Having expertly conducted numerous labiaplasty procedures, Dr. Robert Rho explains, "Labiaplasty can produce beautiful labia minora that are pleasing to the patient. This transformation can greatly improve a woman's self-confidence regarding physical appearance and sexual activity."
