What Patients Are Saying
Happy Plasty!
I had a consultation with 3 different surgeons and decided on Dr. Alter because of his high level of experience with labia and because his before and after pictures are consistently better in my opinion.
I'm so thankful I found him!
If I went to a different doctor, I don't think the outcome would have been as successful. He gave me the look I was trying to achieve from the start. Thanks to him I can have a healthy lifestyle and truly enjoy my body.
I could not be HAPPIER that I did it!
Dr. Alter was very nice and answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend this surgery to anyone who has considered it but, do your homework on surgeons and their methods.
Dr. Alter is the best in the business.
He helped me when I didn’t think anyone else could…I needed a correction to a botched previous surgery (the prior surgeon attempted to fix it 2x, he claimed it was simple. It wasn’t at all).
Dr. Alter Fixed my Botched Labiaplasty and Changed my LIFE!
I visited Dr. Alter after a gynecologist botched my labiaplasty by completely REMOVING both my labia instead of trimming it. It was very emotionally painful and embarrassing. When I found Dr. Alter it was like I had found an angel.
Dr. Alter is a wonderful person and an incredible surgeon.
I found Dr. Alter three years after a botched labiaplasty that left me feeling hopeless and traumatized. He was incredibly responsive via email and made me feel comforted and safe from the very start.
My experience with Dr. Alter and his team was outstanding every step of the way!
Bottom line: Go to the source. He is the best at this surgery. Do not make a mistake on something so important. I'm grateful to Dr. Alter and his team for being sensitive and taking such good care of me.
A great labial reconstruction experience!
I can't believe what an amazing job he did with this procedure. Not only do I look normal again, I'm functional, too…I am thrilled with my outcome. I'd recommend Dr. Alter to anyone who needs a labial reconstruction. He's the best.
Words cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Alter
I had a botched mommy makeover from a non-board certified ``plastic surgeon``…Dr. Alter and his staff were kind, caring and compassionate and he is truly an artist at his craft! A+++ in my book!
Dr. Alter is amazing!
The result far exceeded my expectations. I went into surgery thinking the best I could hope for was not looking like I had a penis! Dr Alter did fantastic work `{`…`}` you’d never know I had surgery and I look and feel great!
Dr. Alter is amazing!
I traveled across the country to see Dr. Alter, and HIGHLY recommend him! Don't settle for a cheaper gynecologist because this is not their area of expertise…I am so incredibly happy with my results…
A pioneer in genital reconstruction, Dr. Alter has helped hundreds of women with his extensive knowledge of genital anatomy as well as expertise in minimizing scars, transferring tissue, and improving cosmetic appearance.
