First of all, Dr Lutman is the best Doctor that I have ever come across. He is the most kind and caring Doctor. He answered all of my questions and was very thorough. He's very knowledgeable and had the best staff as well! I had the Viveve procedure done in April 2021. I couldn't be happier with the results! After going through surgical menopause, natural lubrication become non existent. I felt I was too young to be experiencing this. After having this procedure, I am thrilled with my lubrication, and my libido also increased. Before the Viveve procedure, I was also having problems with incontinence. After Viveve, I have had no problems with incontinence! I'm truly amazed at the results. I was very nervous to have the Viveve done. I can assure you that my experience with Dr. Lutman was very good. Viveve was painless. Dr. Lutman made me, a very nervous patient feel very at ease.
I had not been to the Doctor in years. After experiencing several symptoms, i made an appointment with Dr. Lutman. He immediately made me feel at ease and did not dismiss anything i was saying. He took care of my procedures and even called me personally to follow up on my surgery and after care. I highly recommend Dr Lutman and his office to handle not only female issues with Surgery but also annual exams and preventative appointments.
Dr. Lutman is one of the most professional empathetic physicians I've ever met. He really takes the time to listen to your concerns and is really committed to your health and results. I originally saw Dr. Lutman for my Pap Test. I've always dreaded these tests because of how uncomfortable and painful they are. Dr. Lutman immediately made me feel comfortable and he did the test so quickly and mostly painless. During my visit he sat and asked about my overall health including vaginal health. I expressed concern with my urinary incontinence which occurred after the birth of my son. He gave me some options but after doing a thorough exam we decided to go the non-invasive way. He recommended the Viveve treatment. It is a radio frequency treatment that is virtually pain free and only takes 45 minutes! No needles or numbing required. I can say that this one treatment changed my life! I can't thank him enough for the freedom he has given me by allowing me to go on hikes, walks or drives without worrying about trying to "hold it" or planning on where I can go when I got the urge. I could never go on a three hour drive without stopping to use the restroom and now I can. And as an extra perk it has also increased my sexual satisfaction. Hands down best Doc! Thank you again for listening to my concerns and giving me the freedom to do what I love.
Amazing experience with ViVeve treatment for mild incontinence and laxity. Such a difference with tightness and control. Highly recommend! Dr. Lutman is awesome and always takes the time to explain every detail and his professionalism is outstanding.
Great question!! We use Viveve in our practice. We also use Cliovana.Viveve treats and tightens the vagina and can give a smaller more narrow appearance to the vaginal opening (introitus). Viveve uses radiofrequency energy. It is a one time in office treatment.Cliovana is an external vulva treatment that treats the vulva structures (labia majora and minora and clitoris). It helps with sexual functioning and improved orgasms in women. In my experience it also tightens up the skin of the vulva and gives a more youthful appearance. Cliovana uses "sound wave" therapy so the effects are similar to other skin treatments (ie facial) that tighten the skin and improve tone and appearance. Hope this information helps!!
Hello, my name is Dr Chris Lutman. I am a gynecologist, genital plastic surgeon and cancer surgeon. This is a great question. Cosmetic gynecology is a new and rapidly expanding field. It is a very new concept for most gynecologists in the United States. Some of our colleagues in plastic surgery also perform labiaplasty operations. It is best for you to consider the training, credentialing and experience of your surgeon before having a labiaplasty procedure. There are now highly specialized training programs for gynecologists who want to pursue advanced training in this exciting new field. It is important in my opinion that your surgeon be especially credentialed and trained to perform labiaplasty operations.Happy Holidays and all the best to you!
