Watch the Documentary
The documentary follows two women through their personal labiaplasty journeys and offers an honest look at the reasons many women choose to undergo this procedure. My goal in participating was to help educate viewers, remove stigma surrounding intimate wellness procedures, and provide a professional medical perspective on a topic that is often misunderstood.
Why Women Consider Labiaplasty
Many women come to my office with concerns that are both physical and emotional. While some patients are unhappy with the appearance of the labia, others experience very real discomfort in their daily lives.
Common concerns include:
- Discomfort during exercise or intimacy
- Irritation from tight clothing
- Changes following childbirth or aging
- Self-consciousness regarding appearance
- Difficulty with certain physical activities
In my experience, the decision to pursue labiaplasty is deeply personal. For most patients, it’s not about achieving perfection — it’s about improving comfort, confidence, and quality of life.
My Approach to Labiaplasty
I believe every patient deserves individualized care, privacy, and honest guidance throughout the surgical process. During consultation, I take the time to understand each patient’s concerns, goals, and expectations before recommending treatment.
My approach focuses on:
- Natural-looking results
- Surgical precision and symmetry
- Minimizing visible scarring
- Preserving comfort and function
- Providing compassionate, judgment-free care
Every procedure is customized because every patient’s anatomy and goals are unique.
What Patients Can Expect
Labiaplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and can often be completed in our private state-of-the-art surgical center with local anesthesia alone (our personal technique) or local anesthesia plus sedation, depending on the patient’s needs.
The procedure generally involves carefully reshaping or reducing excess tissue to create improved comfort and aesthetics while maintaining a natural appearance.
Recovery is usually straightforward, and most patients are able to return to normal daily activities within several days, although full healing takes additional time.
Changing the Conversation Around Women’s Wellness
One of the reasons I chose to participate in the VICE documentary was because conversations surrounding women’s intimate health are becoming more open and less stigmatized. Women should feel comfortable asking questions, discussing concerns, and exploring options without embarrassment or judgment.
As plastic surgeons, we have a responsibility to educate patients and help them make informed decisions based on their own goals — not societal pressure.
I’m proud to have contributed to a documentary that encourages thoughtful conversation and provides insight into a procedure that many women quietly consider but rarely discuss publicly.
