Patient Comments

Dr. Davison,

This email if for you to share with all women who are thinking about receiving a labiaplasty or any other type of surgery from DAVinci Plastic Surgery.
To any woman debating on a labiaplasty:
I understand your concerns and fears. I am a female in my 20s who had been debating on the surgery for the last year. Finally, I decided I was ready, but wanted to find the right plastic surgeon, who not only could achieve beautiful results, but also wouldn’t make me feel uncomfortable. I searched on the internet reading about this procedure, reviewing photos, testimonials, and trying to deciding who was the best surgeon in the D.C. area to do the procedure.
Dr. Davidson was the first surgeon I met with and within 10 minutes of talking to him, I knew he was the perfect fit. He was compassionate, excited to help me gain a new confidence, and understanding about how awkward I felt. He and his staff made me feel completely as ease.

I received my surgery in September of 2011. We all laughed in the surgery center as I watched Super Bad on my MacBook. I chose local anesthesia. Not sure that movie will ever be the same for any of us!! Within a few days I was feeling fine and by returned to work 2 days later. The area was sore for a few weeks, but healed perfectly.

Despite some swelling, I knew immediately that I loved the look of my new body part. In a matter of an hour, Dr. Davidson had transformed something that inspired self-consciousness to a work of art.

I am thrilled with my results! I never worry about that area anymore. Clothing is more comfortable and I am able to take spin classes, something that used to cause pain previously.

I HIGHLY recommend this surgery to any woman who is unhappy or uncomfortable with this body part. You don’t have to be anymore! Dr. Davidson is AMAZING and will take great care of you! I cannot thank Dr. Davidson and his staff enough for making me feel totally at ease and pleased with my overall surgery experience!
