Thank you for sharing your question. Best to select a surgeon well-versed in all three aspects of the procedure. It will take effort to research specialists, and you may have to look outside the Spokane region but this is a matter best left to good research.

How to choose your vaginal rejuvenation surgeon? Best to find someone that can do all of the procedures you seek and has a decent revision policy as you may need one. Do avoid the GYN's that dabble in this and those that charge astronomical fees because you can find great deals out there from very qualified and experienced surgeons.

Many types of specialists can perform these procedures well. Look for a surgeon that performs the procedure frequently and can show you plenty of before and afters. Make sure the surgeon has hospital privileges for those procedures. This means that even though the procedure can be performed in the office, he has the qualifications and credentials to also perform it at a hospital.

Hello, thanks for your question. You should choose a surgeon who has experience in these procedures, they can be plastic surgeons, ob gyn, urologists... but they should be board-certified and able to address complications should any arise! It's a sensitive area so do your research and get several opinions until you find someone you trust and feel comfortable with.

Please consult with a Board Certified physician that has experience with these procedures. Make sure the Board is accredited by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
