The plastic surgeon I consulted had suggested the trim technique. The more I read about it, the more I’d prefer the wedge technique. Do you think it would be reasonable to think my surgeon would do that technique instead and that I’d still get a good result? I don’t want to look unnatural or “Barbie-like”, as some would say.

Answer: If your surgeon only does trims then he can’t do a wedge. It depends on the skill set of your surgeon. I ask my patients what the look is that they are going for. Some say a natural look, some say a Barbie look, some say I want no dark tissue and some say I want it smooth! All of this determines the technique and often I find myself using a combination or modification in techniques to achieve the result my patient wishes for. As others have stated, look at your surgeons work and see if the results he’s presenting is what you like. Wedge done in an unskilled hand can go very wrong. Too much removed and tension created can cause a separation. And now you have PAC Man labia….so make sure you’re comfortable with the surgeon you pick.

Answer: Be careful what you wish for And just look at the results of the doctor. Choosing a surgeon is like commissioning a piece of artwork. Arguably the most important and finest piece of artwork you will ever behold: yourself and your own beauty. So that makes this easy. Look at the work. Does it look pretty to you? Would you want your own body to look like that? Once you decide that the doctor has an excellent understanding of universal beauty (and there is such a thing, though I’m not sure exactly why god chose certain elements of beauty—despite some evolutionary-based and reproductive fitness clues) then the pressure is off you and on THEM. They have to do the worrying about how they are going to make you beautiful happy and safe.
