    Hey there OP.

    I had it done over a year ago. 29 yr old male. Had 3 consultations with different clinics/surgeons over a 6 month period and to be honest, looking back - 2 of them were complete cowboys. price ranged from 2700 to 3500. All based in Ireland.

    Rather than go into a long winded email about all the pros and cons as well as the procedure itself, my experience and expected results and complications (rare), why don't you register and reply or PM me.

    Happy to answer any questions and help.

    I've never had it done but having spent 2 years researching the industry in Ireland for my MSc I would strongly stress that you go to a recognised, accredited surgeon in a proper accredited hospital. As another FM has already said there are a lot of cowboys out there who are free to set up practice without the usual restraints, checks and balances that exist within the acute and general hospital system.
    I would suggest you check out the plastic surgery department in St. James's Hospital and the Mater Private.

    Hi Kizzy, do you know if the g-spot enhancement procedure is being carried out in Ireland yet and if so roughly how much is costs?

    I don't know anyone who's had it done but would love to hear feedback on it! It's meant to be fab..... :D

    Hi OP. Dont have the problem. But my 3 nephews do. I was very annoyed when my sister told me she was getting them pinned back.......fast forward.... Its the best think that they have gotten done. It has helped their confidence to no end.

    The only thing is beware their is a possibility of it failing but if it does not fail on kids it wont on adults I imagine as kids are more rough.

    Good luck I think your right for confidence reasons

    I know 2 people who had this done. The first one was years ago and worked out ok. Mate of mine had it done last year and tbh makes his ears look even worse.I never noticed them before, but now that he had it done they are a lot more noticeable for being pinned back to much.


    I'd remember to ask any consultant for before and after pics or something.

    Slightly offtopic and is that even considered cosmetic surgery? Given that it's not 'cosmetic' in the sense that nobody can actually see it?

    Yes I know it's a off topic but because Kizzyr has researched the industry so just thought I'd ask.....it's considered non-surgical/cosmetic enhancement, the clue is in the name of the procedure!

    Cheers, ye learn something new everyday :rolleyes: Never even knew such a thing existed. Now just have to keep it a secret from 'herself' ;) She's just cleaned me out for an e-ring as it is.
