Amazing Plastic Surgeon!
If you are looking for a highly professional, competent and experienced plastic surgeon, one who is distinct for naturally enhancing your look, Dr. Helen Colen is for you. Dr. Colen brings a sense of realism to the outcomes you would hope and imagine for yourself. As a plastic surgeon, she does not overpromise, and she absolutely delivers. Dr. Colen’s office staff is effective, warm and welcoming and the office setting is lovely and tasteful. I highly recommend Dr. Helen Colen

Labiaplasty - New York, NY
As a 24 year old, I was very unhappy/ self-conscious about my labia for many years. I didn't like how I looked; I was embarrassed, which made intimacy difficult and unpleasant. I decided to look into labiaplasty, and I think Dr. Colen was the best decision I've ever made. I am much more comfortable in my skin and can now wear bikinis/underwear that I would never have been able to before! I'm much more comfortable in terms of intimacy as well. The results are perfect and I think

At 23 years old 4'9 93lbs - Breast Augmentation - New York City, NY
Everyone always wants what they can't have. At 23 years old 4'9 93lbs my dreams were to have breasts. I didn't want anything too big, just something that would look natural and good. I was aiming for a full B / small C. From my first visit to Dr. Helen Colens office to my f/u visits was just absolutely great. The staff is amazing. Dr. Helen Colen turned my dream in to a reality. My surgery and recovery period could not have gone smoother. I highly recommend Dr.Helen Colon.

I've never been comfortable with my overly large inner labia - Dr. Colen is Amazing!!! - New York, NY
I've never been comfortable with my overly large inner labia. I went to Dr. Colen because she has an intimate 40-year history with vaginal reconstruction. I was not kept waiting for the consultation appointment at all and her office staff is consummately professional. During the consult Dr. Colen took an hour with me to describe the history of the procedure, her history with the procedure and then what she planned to do. I'm a pretty indecisive person but I booked the surgery
A month and a half ago I went to Dr. Helen Colen for a labiaplasty consultation. We spent over an hour discussing every small detail that is involved with the procedure. I was very pleased that she spent as much time as I needed to asked all my questions honestly and didn’t sugar coat anything like previous plastic surgeons I’ve visited prior to her. She made me feel very comfortable discussing the topic (which can be a bit taboo for some) and the discomfort that I’ve felt

SHEA W...45 Year Old Fit Woman...Two Children - New York, NY
Have used this practice four times in the past 20 years for four breast augmentation surgeries. Being a patient for that amount of time i should have been shown more respect as a patient who continues to come back to the practice. They should informed me that I needed silicone if i was going larger because of my chest cavity. Had to revise them 6 months later. The fourth surgery could have been avoided if the doctor had paid closer attention to my needs and my care.
This review is a long time coming. Every time I have tried to write one I have gotten too emotional, so I am going to keep this to the cold hard facts because if my experience can keep one woman from making the wrong decision then it's worth it. I had a labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction from Dr. Helen Colen summer of 2011. I originally went in for just a labiaplasty but she sold the clitoral hood reduction to me saying it "increases every woman's pleasure." I was highly

Never Have Your Breasts Done by This Doctor!!! - New York, NY
Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience with Dr. Helen Colen. Due to her inability to perform my upper body lift, brachioplasty and breast lift with augmentation in one shot, as she claimed she could, I ended up having 4 further surgeries and had to live with only one breast implant in my chest for 7 months. This cost me much money for a revision with a better surgeon, extra scars and the grief and stress was extremely difficult. She did not acknowledge her mistakes and

Not a Great Job - New York, NY
I had a tummy tuck and ended up with dog ears who had to be taken off my another surgeon, because I had already went back to her because of the scar line....it had looked like someone used a serrated knife and my husband overheard her from the waiting room saying......this is like doing the whole tummy tuck over again " well of course, because you did it haphazardly to begin with. Secondly, she stitched my belly button on the outside so that it looks like sunshine rays of scars
