Don't Consider Anyone Beside Dr. Warren for Your Labiaplasty

How to write this review without crying tears of happiness... I had a labiaplasty performed by Dr. Warren 6 weeks ago. This is something I have contemplated for years, mainly because of physical discomfort (tugging/pulling in underwear, during sleep, during intercourse) but also aesthetically I wasn't totally comfortable with how I looked either. I have met with plastic surgeons and Dr. Warren (a Urogynecologist) and can tell you from my experience, going with someone who knows how my anatomy is supposed to work in addition to how it can aesthetically be improved made all the difference. Dr. Warren, her bedside manner and her staff are all incredible. They are all warm, attentive, and sensitive to the fact that we are considering surgery on our genitalia. This isn't an easy decision and they know that. The follow up was wonderful - after some extreme itching during week 3-4 Dr Warren even called me on a weekend to guide me through lessening the healing itch. So, the care is impeccable, but now let's talk about how happy I am with how my labia look and feel... If it's any indication of how happy I would be - seeing my trimmed (versus wedge - thankful she recommended this versus so many plastics recommending wedge) labia immediately after surgery, I already knew I would be happy. Sure, the healing was a pain (more on that in a moment) but the immediate effect of looking in a mirror and seeing the protruding lips that had caused me physical pain being SO much smaller was the best feeling in the world. It was about 10 days out until I hit some level of comfort again. But let me tell you, every day from surgery day on, I healed and became more thankful for having done this. I don't have any tugging, and with the trim, the portions of my labia that had darkened because of chaffing were gone. It's a pink vulva with no labia sticking out and looks like how I would have dreamed for it to be. Healing - Oh, this wasn't a fun one. And I have a high pain threshold. I had rotating ice packs on for the first 4 days. I had the kiddos out of the house for those first 4 days (could have really used another 2-3 before having to carry them, etc too) I only used the narcotic pain meds for a couple days because I don't respond well to them, but turns out the ibuprofen wrecked my stomach. Switched to tylenol day 4/5 and was better off. The peri bottle provided much relief when I urinated. By day 10 I was able to wear regular pants (I had been in yoga pants prior). I found that having underwear/pants that provided some support felt better than loose undies and pants. I needed to minimize movement. Swelling started coming down week 2-3. Stitches lightening up around week 4-5 (some are still present in week 6) I can say that even with the pain in days 1-10, I would do this hands down again without question. The way I feel and look in week 6 is beyond what I expected. Bottom line - there is simply NO ONE else on this planet I would go to for this procedure. From the level of care, skill (she took 2 hours in surgery to ensure that I would be extremely happy with the outcome) and follow up - and the fact she has worked with women for 25+ years - I can say Spa V and Dr. Warren are the only place you need to look at for this or any type of gynecological-related surgery. My photos are the April 2021 labiaplasty upload in her photo gallery. Best of luck to you as you pick the right surgeon for you - I just suggest no matter what, you consult with Dr. Warren.
