Female Genital Surgery

Physicians have neglected aesthetic surgery of the female external genitalia. However, awareness of female genital aesthetics has increased owing to increased media attention, both from magazines and video. Women may feel self-conscious about the appearance of their labia majora (outer lips) or, more commonly, labia minora (inner lips). The aging female may dislike the descent of her pubic hair and labia. A large pubic fat deposit may be unsightly. Because very few physicians are concerned with the appearance of the female external genitalia, many women seeking help are frustrated.

Penis / Scrotal Surgery

Congenital abnormalities of the penis and scrotum are not uncommon and require reconstructive surgery. Because these deformities can be very challenging, a team approach is often used. I frequently operate on these patients with Dr. Richard Ehrlich, a world-renowned pediatric urologist. I believe that the combined input and expertise of a pediatric urologist and a plastic surgeon/urologist (myself) provides the best possible care.

Penis Enhancement

Penile enhancement procedures have been performed for some years, but only by a few physicians owing to professional prejudice and lack of public knowledge about such operations. Recently, new developments in penile enlargement surgery have generated interest.

Associated with advances in penile length and girth surgery are other procedures to improve the appearance of the penis and scrotum, such as suprapubic lipectomy and liposuction, and elimination of penoscrotal junction webbing.

Mainstream medical literature rarely describes results from penile lengthening and girth enlargement. Moreover, misinformation has been disseminated that makes it difficult for patients and physicians to obtain accurate data or to evaluate outcome. Standardized techniques or measurements are not available, and results are frequently exaggerated. These procedures are evolving, and significant questions remain concerning their methodology and effectiveness.
