Nicole E. Williams, MD, FACOG, FACS

Dr. Williams and her entire team are absolutely incredible! The facility is clean and they are friendly, beyond knowledgable, and take care of you from the moment you walk in to the time you leave. I have never felt so comfortable with a Gynecologist - Dr. Williams is by far the best!

Labiaplasty was something on my mind since I was 17. No partner ever said anything negative about my vulva, but I was still self-conscious. I had one labia minora that was longer, darker, and thicker than the other. This side was always getting pinched in underwear, pressed through lace, and tugged on during sex (and not in a good way). I constantly had to tuck it upwards and adjust myself to feel comfortable.
It got worse when I committed to a healthier lifestyle. My outer labia lost some volume with my weight loss, causing the area to look deflated. I say this with the most humor possible, but I called it my "sad squidward".The end result had me looking for a surgeon who could remove the longer tissue while preserving a natural look. I wasn't looking to be a cookie-cutter vulva; but something that looked and functioned better. I ultimately settled with Dr. Nicole Williams. Her background was impressive and she was exactly what I was hoping for. She was friendly professional and personable. I had my surgery just a few days ago and plan on updating as my healing process continues!

I wanted to share my before pictures. I know that it helped me when others posted theirs.

This photo is 1 day post-op. I was worried about the inflammation circled (I didn’t have tissue removed there, there were no stitches). I contacted the office and they said it was completely normal. If it got worse, I was to call back.

The spot of inflammation I was concerned about has gone down. I’m starting to see a lot of scabbing and dead skin. I’m sticking with the medications the doctor prescribed and rinsing the area with a squeeze bottle when I urinate. I had my first bowel movement on this day and I’m relieved to announce I had no issues or pain.

Overall:
The swelling has gone down dramatically and a lot of the dead skin has rinsed away. I’m having some discharge the last couple days, but my wounds seem to be dry.

Comfort Level:
Sitting is an issue. The labia feels like it’s being tugged and sitting directly on a seat just isn’t possible. Walking around is okay. I try to take little steps and walk slower than usual. It’s no longer stinging; but starting to itch. I’m more irritated than in pain. Still using the donut pillow when I drive.

Aftercare:
I have finished all but one of my prescriptions, so now I’m just taking Aleve as I need it. I haven’t found the need to ice as often, but I do at the end of the day. I’ve been applying antibiotic ointment, taking arnica supplements and keeping up with my vitamins. I still use the peri bottle when I use the bathroom. Bowel movements haven’t been an issue, I just use natural baby wipes to clean and then use the peri bottle. At the end of the day, I’ll remove my bottoms, prop my knees up and just let the area have some fresh air.

This photo is exactly one week from the surgery and I was so happy with the results. Inflammation had gone down dramatically and I knew will go down more as time goes on. I could no longer can see the stitches on the left labia. I did notice a bit of bruising on the inner left lip, but I had been walking around more than usual. The right has this pesky scabbing around the stitches that I was afraid to remove.
I finished all my prescriptions at that point. I took Aleve just because I was walking around more. I was still using the peri bottle when I go to the bathroom, icing at the end of the day and applying antibacterial ointment 2x a day. I moved to wearing loose underwear because pads were putting too much pressure on the area.

Hello Again! At the point of this photo, I had already seen Dr. Williams for my 2 week follow-up appointment. Everything is healing great. The suture glue has dissolved and I only have a few visible stitches left. Dr. Williams said those would dissolve with time. She cleared me to start doing light workouts again and wearing leggings. She asked me to fill avoid thongs, vigorous exercise (like running or super bendy positions in yoga), and sex.

I will say the scar tissue itched a bit more this week. I’ve been a little more active and just finished my cycle so I’m sure that’s part of it. I noticed that it seems a little more sensitive and irritated than usual, but nothing painful.

My next follow up appointment is in 3 weeks! I’m still really satisfied with the outcome and am looking forward to watching the area heal over the next few months.

These are the photos from exactly 6 weeks from my surgery date. Swelling has gone down tremendously. All of the stitches have dissolved and I can barely see the scar. My labia is still fairly tender and a little itchy at times, but all associated pain was gone weeks ago.
I’m completely satisfied with the final result. I feel much better throughout the day. I feel more comfortable in underwear and leggings (no more pinching!!!). Aesthetically, I think it looks natural and I’m very happy with it. For those concerned about clitoral sensitivity, I have noticed no change from before surgery.

I had Labiaplasty and Laser rejuvenation with Prp. I had 2 kids and my Vagina looked horrible it’s like someone popped it with a balloon it was so deflated and my Labia stuck out like a chicken I could tie it in a knot. I stopped letting my SO give me oral sex. Now I’m only 3 weeks post op and I can’t stop staring and taking picture. Best Dr ever I have so much confidence now

I can’t stop looking at it it’s so beautiful now. As long as you go get your prescription and pop your pain meds right after surgery you will be fine. Also I stopped taking pain meds after the first week.

I went to Dr. Nicole for labiaplasty and the result is better than I could have imagined. My confidence has sky rocketed since then. Also, she recommended pelvic floor therapy to help with pain, and it WORKED. She knows what she’s doing.

Dr. Nicole Williams is amazing!! She understands your needs and concerns and will help you and work with you in whatever you are dealing with. She made me feel confident about my body and she let me know that I am not the only one with issues and concerns.

Dr. Williams is wonderful! She makes me feel so comfortable in the most uncomfortable of situations. She is warm, friendly, and informative. I always learn something new about my body every time I visit her office. She pays attention to detail which I like. The vaginal rejuvenation sessions were easier than I thought and they work. Little to no leaking. More intense orgasms. Thank you Dr. Williams.

My experience with Dr. Williams was superior in that her expertise and professionalism enabled me to feel confident about this procedure. Dr. Williams is an amazing doctor; I recommended a patient to her that same day.

While maintaining a high level of professionalism, Dr. Williams creates a comfortable, almost spa like environment which reduces the anxiety and discomfort one may have while undergoing this procedure.

Dr Williams and the staff at the Gynecology Institute are caring professionals. I had vaginal laser treatments for menopausal dryness and atrophy. I am simply amazed at the difference the treatments have made for me! Before, I could not have sex without terrible pain and now - no pain! It's like my vagina had its clock dialed back 10 years! Thank you!!

Dr. Williams is an incredibly personable and caring doctor that makes you feel totally at ease. I had my initial labiaplasty with her 2 months ago, and while I wasn't completely satisfied with the result she quickly scheduled me for a revision and now I couldn't be happier. The end result is so natural, she didn't take off too much or too little. If you're not completely happy with your results she will work until you are, at no additional charge.
