Pre-Childbirth Labiaplasty

Introduction Although labiaplasty is often mistakenly considered solely a postpartum procedure, young women may have a congenital protrusion, malformation, or unevenness of the labia minora (the inner folds of skin surrounding the vulvar opening of the vagina) that extends beyond the labia majora, most often called labia hypertrophy. The results are not simply aesthetically undesirable for many young women, but often include irritation, functional impairment, and discomfort in every day activities, sports and with many types of clothing. Dr. Laurie Casas offers a discreet, private, in-office consultation and procedure so that young women seeking a better quality of life through prepartum […]

Eliminating Stretch Marks

Question: I’m looking to try some chemical peels for my stretch marks before I consider other surgery options, what other treatments are there? Answer: Great question!
