A Big Apple realtor famous for wheeling and dealing on Netflix's hit series 'Owning Manhattan' went to Turkey for her boldest renovation to date: labiaplasty.
'The experience was amazing…and I'm already feeling the confidence boost one million percent,' Jade Shenker gushed to The Post less than three weeks after going under the knife.
Soon after ending her nearly decade-long relationship last year, Shenker, 29, learned about labiaplasty from a girlfriend who had just undergone the cosmetic genital procedure — also known as 'designer vagina' surgery — and was immediately sold on the idea, she recalled.

Jade Shenker couldn't be happier with her labiaplasty experience earlier this month, she told The Post.

'Even though I like dressing sexy and that makes me feel confident, as far as being intimate, I've always been very shy. Especially being newly single, I was like, why can't I have that same confidence in other areas of my life?' Shenker said.
For 'purely cosmetic reasons,' she reached out to Upper East Side plastic surgeons who charge nearly $15,000 for the procedure, but didn't feel inspired by the interiors they designed.

'Their before and afters were okay,' Shenker said with a shrug.
But all bets were off when she came across Dr. Mehmet Bekir Şen, a plastic surgeon dedicated to the procedure in Istanbul, Turkey.
'I loved the aesthetic of his work versus anyone else's work,' Shenker said, noting that the Euro doc's ooh-la-la vulvas looked 'evenly puffed and less pigmented' than other designer vaginas she'd seen.

The Upper West Sider signed up for the full package, which included reshaping the vaginal 'lips' by removing excess tissue with a scalpel or laser, cutting the clitoral hood and 'puffing' the labia majora, by using fat from her inner thighs.
She originally booked the procedure for July 9, but moved it up to July 4 after an ominous warning from her astrologist.
'There was a full moon on July 10, so she was like, 'Jade, I prefer you not get it done on the 9th because it's too close — we're already in a retrograde and doing it so close to a full moon, it would be more likely that you'll have complications and it will take you long to heal,'' Shenker said.
She walked 10,000 steps without a problem just a day after two hour, $5,500 procedure.

And her new coochie is as couture as the penthouses she hawks.
'This surgery proves that cosmetic stuff is not about other people…it's literally just about how I feel,' Shenker said.
'I wanted and paid for the perfect vagina,' Shenker boasted.
'This surgery proves that cosmetic stuff is not about other people — it's not about the male gaze or the female gaze — it's literally just about how I feel. It's me feeling like I am the person that I want to look at in the mirror every day,' she added.
