I'm going to have vaginal tightening done at the Toronto Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Center, the nurse was great. She answered all my questions and mentioned thing I had never thought of. I'm wondering if anyone has had surgery done there and what they thought of the Dr's. I tried posting this on the forum but for some reason it won't post.

Did you interview your actual surgeon? I would do this before signing up for any surgery. Just a thought.

I to am doing a vaginalplasty with Dr.G. He is suppose to be the very best and was referred to me by my family dr. I trust her opinion compleatly. She also recommend Dr. Edelstine for my BA. And he did an amazing job. Love them;-) Anyway dr.g seemed very knowledgable and I look forward to getting the vaginalplasty in early march.

Hey! I'm just wondering if you've had your vaginalplasty yet? I have my appointment in a month. I've been reading a lot on comments about this dr. most neg comments are about his personality. Out of 15 comments on just his skill 4 were neg. I've looked at 6 or 7 sites on his reviews. I think I'm just getting cold feet.
February 23, 2014
if you haven't done it yet then stay away from Dr. G. I've heard terrible things about him. check out Dr. Gerber. He's the best in this industry.
February 23, 2014
I'm 2 weeks post and I did go to Dr. G. I'm very happy with the results, him and his staff. I did call Dr Gerber and the staff there said Dr. G is a good dr and since I had the apt booked to stay with him. That was 2 weeks before surg.(I was having cold feet) I only found 2 bad comments about him doing a bad job and neither said what was wrong. One girl was poking her fingers up there. (infection....) Did they have unrealistic expectations? Nothing looks nice after surg and the other girl, all she said is she went right to the hospital after seeing it. I thought all the work was on the inside and I did not realize the outside would change. I think it looks way better then before. As for rude, I found him to the point and he takes his career seriously. Do people want someone to go for coffee with, or someone who will do a good job and tell you what to expect and how to take care of yourself and not sugar coat it. I liked him and I'd go back to him, my neighbour is going to go see him in a few months. I could not be happier with the results, I've wanted this done for years! I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I've looked through the reviews for some near you. There aren't a ton, just because vaginoplasty is not talked about as openly as other types of surgery, but there are a few:

I hope you find lots of support and information here in the community. We're here for you if you need anything!

I made a list of questions and the Dr is Dr Dimitrios Giannoulias. I'd say 75% of the reviews are good or really good. The bad reviews I'd say might be from personality conflicts and these patients seemed to like a bit of coddling. Really who doesn't from time to time but I can do without it. I can whine and cry to my family after. :) I have an appointment to talk the Dr himself in a few days and have a list of other questions and concerns.
February 23, 2014
did you have the surgery with Dr. G? I've heard horrible things about him and how he butcher's people. You should have a consult with Dr. Gerber. He's well known and very respected
February 23, 2014
I did go to him and I went to the point of making a tally of the neg comments about him being rude and I only found 2 that said he 'butchered' them. One girl was poking her fingers up there at 2 weeks which can and I think did cause infection (so that was her causing it, I think), the other did not say what he did. I wrote to her and asked what it was that he did and she did not write back. I got cold feet and called another highly recommended Dr on the forums and the receptionist there said he's a very good Dr and since I had the appointment with him to stay with him. That spoke volumes to me since plastic surgeons I've heard are very competitive. As for the rude part, I was thinking I'm paying for a surgery, not a best friend to have coffee with. I found him very to the point, it's major surgery and he takes it very seriously. I really respect him for that, I did not find him rude at all. After surg, I could not go pee and the nurse said sometimes that happens to a few people after they have an epidural. He came out and talked to me and stayed with me, he was nice but told me if on the third try I did not, that I'd have to have a catheter. I did on the third try go on my own. I've seen very good reviews on him as well with people doing this surg. I've looked down there and all I thought was they tighten the inside, I did not think the outside would change at all. But even that was closed up and it does look better then before. Go with what you are comfortable with and from what I've heard is that people do get cold feet 2-3 weeks before. Also people tend to write the neg and not so much on the positive. If people are happy, they go on their merry way(most of the time) if they are not happy they will tell everyone and anyone. I'm one of the happy ones and I'd go to him again. Good Luck! :) Oh no matter what, do the after care they say to a T.
February 23, 2014
Oh, I did the tally for a few Drs, If you type in Dr so and so neg comments into google and then do positive it will bring up lots for every Dr.

Glad you're happy. Dr. Jugenburg does vaginoplasty but all his reviews are about breasts and tummy tucks. I've heard amazing things about him and have had a consult him about another procedure. Is vaginoplasty very painful? That's my only fear. I've had labiaplasty with Gerber and look so amazing!!!! Very happy with those results.
March 25, 2014
I just had Dr. Jugenburg for a TT, BR/BL and lipo, so I can't offer an opinion on the vaginoplasty, but I can say this: His bedside manner sucks, his staff are amazing, and he is very skilled-his stitching is beautiful. He is just a very serious guy-good for when it comes to his work, but tough if you are a friendly person who wants to feel comfortable with someone. I'm friendly, so I had a hard time, but his work is great. I came from out of province just to see him and I would go back-his awesome staff, especially Kim and Grace, make up for his lack of a good bedside manner.

I had my surg done on the 8th of Feb. All I had done was the tightening. After the surg I could feel pressure on my tailbone and still can. But it's not my tailbone because if I push on it there is no pain or discomfort so it's coming from inside. Other then that, I feel fine. I'm up and walking around. Bending over and sitting down is an issue so I sit leaning to one side. I'm doing everything they told me to. As for what I think of the Dr and his staff? I think he was very professional and polite. He answered my questions and was polite. I would recommend him to anyone. The staff was great, the place was neat and clean. This is only day 4, I was told that people go back to work after 2 days but I really can't see that. Maybe I'm just a suck that way. Right now, I am happy with how things are going. I did fly home the same day, I don't think I would recommend but for me it was the best decision. I could not see flying home the next day. It would have been too painful and uncomfortable. I like to be home in my own bed. I will post again in a week.

What was the name of your Dr?
April 3, 2016
Dr Dimitrios Giannoulias at the Toronto Cosmetic Clinic. It's been 2 years and things are still awesome. I would do it again still. Make sure you can take at least 4 weeks off.

It's been forever since I've been on this site and re-read my posts. I should have added that this feeling was later explained as. I was feeling my cervix. That area is swollen and I could feel that and the stitches.

2 weeks post

Nyxis
So it's been 2 weeks now and i'm feeling better, I can sit down and still feel that I had surg but nothing like it was. I was wearing pads because I would change them every 3hours, I was afraid of infection. Now I'm not and the incision is a bit tender from not being padded against the seam of my jeans. The incision site is raised about 2 mm the whole length which I don't like. From what I've read though it should start to flatten out in a month or 2. It does not look very nice. Once it flattens it will be fine but I don't like the ridged look at all and hope it goes away soon. I don't know if that's how he stitches or if that is just how it is supposed to look for now. I'll have to ask the Dr. Other then the ridge I feel great, I can't wait till the 3rd week when I can go back to working out. Sitting around is driving me nuts.

I see before I put 4 for his skill. I don't remember what the other 2 were about. There were only 2 that stuck out in my mind.
