Laser reduction labioplasty is a very safe outpatient procedure. The procedure is painless. Our special techniques will provide pain relief for the first 18 to 24 hours. After this the pain medications will take care of any discomfort. The procedures are designed such that when you leave all is fine and it is not necessary to return. If questions should arise, we are available 24/7 by phone or e-mail. You would come for a post operative visit 3-4 days after the procedure. If you are not from New York City, You can return home after this visit and return to work on day 5 or 6. I personally trained with the inventor of the procedure Dr. David Matlock in Beverly Hills, Ca. We are the only group that has this highly specialized training and the only group that uses a laser. We believe that the laser offers the best and safest results. We believe women should be empowered with knowledge, choice and alternatives. We offer 7 different procedures to achieve the results that the patient desires. An office visit is the best way to know what procedure is being done and discuss price and recovery. That is why we offer free consultations.
