"The demand is definitely growing," Stern, here on vacation, said of the surgeries. "I make it very clear to my patients that they don't need this, that it is an elective cosmetic procedure. But this isn't about vanity. My patients aren't strippers and dancers. These are educated women." The trend in vaginal plastic surgery, blasted by feminists, also has received a tepid response from the established medical community. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advises women against the procedures, citing a lack of "documentation of their safety and effectiveness." In a statement issued by the organization in September, the doctors also warned, "It is deceptive to give the impression that any of these procedures are accepted and routine surgical practices." In Israel, Prof. Rami Neuman, the head of plastic surgery at Hadassah University Hospital in Jerusalem, says he refuses to perform the surgery. "If there is a growth there, we will operate," Neuman said. "Anything else is stupid." But that hasn't stopped women from flocking to Stern and the hundreds of doctors in the U.S. who now advertise the procedures. Indeed, this newest rage is considered the fastest-growing sector of American cosmetic surgery. Stern says he performs about five surgeries a day on busy Fridays, and that most of his patients come from out of state. He's been featured in The New York Times, the Chicago Tribune and Bloomberg news, as well as Hustler, the pornographic magazine.
