I'm always amazed by people who presume to tell me who my patients--those seeking a labiaplasty and / or vaginoplasty--are. Too many people buy into the stereotypes, I'm guessing because they want to trivialize these plastic surgery procedures as something silly, demeaning, even dangerous. So what are the stereotypes that people hold of labiaplasty / vaginoplasty patients? … [Read more...]
Minorities Under the Plastic Surgeon’s Scalpel
It's likely that minority women are less likely to get a labiaplasty or vaginoplasty than white women are, if we're to believe that a new report published in the February issue of ARCHIVES OF SURGERY applies nationally.

Qualifying for Financing for a Labiaplasty
One thing I wrestle with is the fact that one of the medical procedures most difficult to finance through insurance is labiaplasty. It is seen by most companies as elective surgery, and therefore not covered. That's why I often suggest that women who can't afford this procedure seek out a plastic surgery loan. … [Read more...]

Too many times, people who are not connected with the field offer opinions that are total hogwash. I just had one of those moments, when some blogger offered her view that these procedures have become so popular because of Hollywood’s obsession with plastic surgery and the perfect body. While I’m … [Read more...]

The Plastic Surgeon’s Web Site
I’m going to venture into dangerous territory, because I obviously have a website. And when a person with a website writes about good and bad sites, she sets herself up for all manner of criticism. But one of the most potentially helpful resources for helping you sort through the issues pertaining to plastic surgery are the surgeons’ own websites. … [Read more...]

Myth-Busting: Plastic Surgery Style
A favorite show of mine is "Myth Busters" on the Discovery Channel. If you've never seen it, it's a show that involves a group of people who have been involved in special effects or related sciences testing popular myths, to see if they're true or --well, myths. … [Read more...]
