What is your greatest achievement?
My biggest achievement in life will always be my two children. Professionally, I feel fortunate that I am able to practice medicine in a field I am passionate about and to make a positive difference in women's lives.
What is the future of your field?
Cosmetic Gynecology and vaginal rejuvenation have become one of the fastest-growing subspecialties both in Chicago and nationally. Childbirth, aging, weight loss, or other factors may cause changes in a woman's reproductive health, sexual function, and overall appearance. More women are seeking treatment to help improve function, sexual wellness, and self-confidence.
What is the biggest misconception about your field?
Because Cosmetic Gynecology is very much still growing, many women are not even aware that treatments even exist or women may be too embarrassed to seek treatment. Cosmetic Gynecology isn’t just about changing the appearance of a woman's genital area; it’s also about improving functionality and intimate health.
What are your most requested procedures?
My top three most requested procedures are Labiaplasty, Vaginal Tightening, and Clitoral Hood Reduction.
What surgical advancements are you most excited about?
Labia majora fat transfer procedure which uses a person's own fat. Autologous fat lasts longer than filler injections and there is very minimal downtime.
What are you best known for?
I am best known for Gynecology, Vaginal Rejuvenation procedures, Women's Feminine Health & Intimate Wellness.
What is your most memorable patient reaction?
One of my patients was so happy she wanted to show her new results on YouTube. Also, it's not uncommon to receive flowers from my patients' husbands letting me know how happy they are!
What sets your practice apart?
Many doctors offer vaginal rejuvenation treatments as part of their overall service offerings but rarely does a provider specialize in both gynecology and cosmetic surgery. I partnered up with one of the Top Cosmetic Surgeons in the country, Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong to create the very first center in Chicago that exclusively focuses on Cosmetic Gynecology and Intimate Wellness needs for women. Together we're able to use our expertise and provide unparalleled patient care. Our patient satisfaction is second to none because we deliver amazing, safe, and natural results very few practices can match.
What do you love most about your profession?
I love what I do and taking care of women is definitely my calling in life. I am so passionate about women's feminine health and wellness. Women always want to take care of others before they take care of themselves, but when their health or confidence is not in a good place, it negatively affects other aspects of their life. I love being able to help my patients improve their health, confidence, and quality of life so that they can be the best version of themselves.
What is your career-defining procedure?
Vaginal Rejuvenation, Labiaplasty, and Clitoral Hood Reduction. I love seeing my patient's faces during their post-op when they see their before and after photos. They almost always wished they did it sooner!
What new services are you excited to offer?
One thing that I'm really excited about is the concept of Labial Puffing to restore volume in the labia majora using the patient's own fat. Loss of volume is a big factor of aging in the vulva appearing aged. By adding volume to the labia, we can restore a more plump, youthful look. Combining Labial Puff with Labiaplasty enhances the overall rejuvenation effects.
