Female Genital Plastic/Cosmetic Surgery: Miscellaneous Procedures

Female Genital Plastic/Cosmetic Surgery Video Series | Part 6 In Part 6 of the series, I address two controversial aspects of women’s genital and plastic procedures. The first is what I consider a “cultural imperative” for many Islamic women that places them “between a rock and a hard place” — the need for bleeding and […]

Recovery from Genital Plastic/Cosmetic Surgery

Female Genital Plastic/Cosmetic Surgery Video Series | Part 5 Most of the genital plastic surgery questions that patients ask on websites involve recovery: what is normal and what is abnormal; will it always look this bad; will I need a revision?

The State of California, and other states, now require Health Care Practitioners to divulge any relationships they may have with Industry (payments; discounts for using their products; discounts for promoting their products, paid speaking engagements, etc.) This is called “Disclosure,” and is now (in addition to being ethically proper) required by the State Medical Board.

Consumers should look for such a statement on either their Provider’s website and/or on a statement prominently displayed in their office. This is especially important for novel treatments and therapies, especially in the “Cosmetic” arena, where many touted therapies are not evidence-based, and where the practitioner is reimbursed by the company whose product is touted or recommended to patients. Practitioners without such a statement may be reported to their state’s Medical Board.

Dr. Michael P Goodman receives no financial or “in-kind” reimbursements, or discounts from, “Industry” or any company producing the products he utilizes in his practice.

Not entirely to blame, these Ob/Gyns, who […]
