My experience with Dr. Alter was fantastic and I can't recommend him and his team enough! From my first consultation to now just shy of 3-months post-op, everything has been super easy and communication is top notch. I got a clitoral hood reduction with a clitoropexy and labiaplasty, and the results are amazing. After doing some research, I knew the only person I wanted to have help me with this was Dr. Alter. I have no regrets, only that I should have done this sooner!
The
I traveled to New York for reconstructive surgery with Dr. Gary Alter after a previous labioplasty left me botched.

The surgery itself was a smooth and well-organized process. What struck me immediately — even on the first postoperative day — was how clean, precise, and meticulously executed everything looked. The sutures were placed with extraordinary care, completely different from my previous operation. There was no unnecessary trauma, and the area looked respected
Dr. Alter truly changed my life and restored my confidence in a way I will always be grateful for.
Prior to seeing him, I had been advised by another physician to take a very high dose of testosterone due to severely low levels, which unfortunately caused significant and distressing side effects. I felt confused, overwhelmed, and honestly embarrassed about my situation.
From the moment I walked into Dr. Alter’s office, I felt welcomed and at ease. Before even beginning
Dr. Alter is an absolute legend. I’m so grateful my OB-GYN referred me to him.

First, his staff is incredible. Farnoush and Caitlin are both wonderful. Farnoush helped me so much leading up to surgery. I had a lot of questions and tons of anxiety, but she was always patient and very responsive.

The minute I met Dr. Alter, I knew I was in the right place. I had already done my research, but sitting with him in person just confirmed everything. Even though
Dr. Alter saved me. I had a botched labiaplasty/perineoplasty back in 2022. The doctor was an OBGYN who falsely represented her qualifications and actually had no training in plastics, so performed the trim technique like a 2 year old using scissors for the first time. Don’t even get me started on her upselling the surgery in the first place - DO NOT GO TO AN OBGYN FOR THIS SURGERY!

Dr. Alter literally invented the wedge technique, which is now used by all the best
I was previously botched by a well known surgery in Texas. He left me completely amputated and altered my hood without my consent. Dr. Alter had very little skin to work with but be executed well and fixed it beyond what I thought could be done. I am very happy with my results. I was in zero pain after the surgery (also did a perineoplasty). I took no pain killers and didn’t even need Tylenol. The entire surgery was a miracle. I am completely restored and I am so thankful for
I had my labia reconstruction on April 5th, and I couldn’t be happier or more grateful. It was worth every penny!

This was my third surgery my first one was botched, my second was done with Dr. Miklos and Moore they were able to reconstruct one side, but the other side separated. I truly wish I had found Dr. Alter after my first botched surgery, or even before any of them. Either way, I’m beyond pleased with my results and the entire experience!

For
I've just had a labiaplasty revision, majoraplasty, and perineoplasty done by Dr. Alter. I am so glad I decided to go to the best, and I wish I would have worked with him from the start! He was so kind, caring and funny and all of his staff were so kind to me too. Im only 2 dpo and can already see that the results are what I was hoping for, and I'm not in pain anymore just some discomfort.

We originally were planning to do 2 seperate surgeries, but he worked out
Dear Dr. Alter and Team,
I am home from my surgery (it is Sunday morning , my surgery was late Friday....and, I live 4 hours away from Beverly Hills). I feel great! Very slight discomfort - just need a Tylenol.
It is amazing to me that I was able to wake up from surgery feeling great! No pain.
The pre-process was made possible by Farnoush and Caitlin (given my pre-op labs and tests were out of town, these ladies made sure all got done and the process went smoothly).
My experience with Dr. Gary Alter and his staff was truly amazing from start to finish. Dr Alter is undeniably the best at what he does, passionate about the emotional and physical wellbeing of his patients and uncompromising in providing unsurpassed results and quality care. Farnoush, practice manager, is a perfect blend of competence and compassion. Her calm and friendly demeanor, communication skills and professionalism made the entire process seamless.
