Board Certification and Experience
Look for relevant board certification, experience with genital cosmetic or reconstructive surgery, transparent complication discussions, and a facility that meets appropriate accreditation standards.
A thoughtful surgeon should explain alternatives, not pressure you into a procedure.
Consultation Questions
Use the consultation to evaluate communication, safety planning, and whether your goals are realistic.
- How many labiaplasty procedures have you performed?
- Which technique do you recommend for my anatomy?
- What complications have you seen and how are they managed?
- Who handles urgent after-hours concerns?
- What privacy policies apply to medical photos?
Red Flags
Be cautious with guaranteed outcomes, pressure discounts, dismissive answers, unclear facility credentials, no written aftercare, or reluctance to discuss risks and revision.
Ask your surgeon
Ask to review the full informed consent, aftercare instructions, and fee estimate before choosing a date.
