Hi, I have found a Dr I am interested in having labiaplasty with however he is a cosmetic gyno not a comestic surgeon. Does this matter if he does this surgery a lot?

Answer: Cosmetic gyno or cosmetic surgeon, that is the question. As a cosmetic gynecologist with 30 years of experience and as a women, I think that there are plenty of amazing cosmetic surgeons out there, but I would feel most comfortable with someone who understands the intricacies of a woman’s body. I think experience definitely plays the biggest part, not all gynecologists are trained to do cosmetic gynecology procedures, just as not all plastic surgeons are trained or experienced at cosmetic gynecology. Thoroughly research your surgeon and look at their results, do you like what you see? Ask them how many procedures they have done and what challenges they have had with different procedures? Someone with lots of experience will be able to tell you immediately approximately how many they have done and about the variance in different vaginas and how they have handled difficult cases. The key to choosing a surgeon is experience and results, if you are happy with both of those two things with the surgeon of your choosing, you should feel comfortable with your decision and hopefully look forward to beautiful results.

Answer: Who does your labiaplasty best? Surgeons who do specific procedures frequently do them better than those who do them infrequently. This is true for all surgical procedures including labiaplasty. If you like their work based on before and afters and reviews, their specific specialty doesn't really matter because residency training programs don't teach labiaplasty.
