I can't thank Dr. Blatt and his team enough for the care and attention I received coming here for a small procedure. My recovery time wasn't as long as expected just because most women come in here for a little bit more then what I came in for. All I will say is that I made the right choice going a head with my procedure, using Dr. Blatt and listening to everything he said. I healed nicely and I feel so much better.

Dr. Blatt was great. He's professional and understands what we women are dealing with. He truly cares about his patients and he knows what is best for them also. His staff is also very considerate and professional. The facility is clean and welcoming. Dr. Blatt does an outstanding job and after your procedure is fully healed, you feel like a new person ready to accomplish things you haven't done because of the problems you had before the operation. Thank you Dr Blatt for everything.
Honest Review

Okay - I registered a new account just to write this review. My goal is to help those who are seriously considering a labiaplasty procedure. I will share my decision making process, my understanding of the "trim" and the "wedge" technique, and my recovery experience. I received labiaplasty four weeks ago from Dr. Blatt. I have nothing but good things to say about his practice and skills.
Only at 4 weeks post-op, I am already seeing good result and the recovery was a lot easier than expected. My search of a top-notch labiaplasty surgeon started in early 2020. I've consulted five doctors (basically top results if you google "Labiaplasty NYC" with 4.8-4.9 ratings), including Dr. Blatt. I've learned a lot of about the pros and cons of the "trim" and the "wedge" techniques.
The major difference is that the trim gets rid of the rims and the wedge preserves the natural rim. Some say you should opt for the trim if you want to get rid of the pigmented rim, however this technique is arguably more prone to complications such as scalloped new rim, prolonged healing, and amputation, depending on the surgeon's skills. Among all the doctors I've consulted, some do both techniques, some only do one.
I won't elaborate on how many times I've changed my mind about which technique I should go for every time after seeing a different doctor. All I can tell you is, Dr. Blatt's office was the only one that received me THREE times without charges. (I've visited another doctor twice but paid $250 for each; and for the other three doctors, I simply lost interest to continue the conversation as they either told me horror stories of the technique they don't perform or somewhat attacked the qualifications of other doctors.) Dr. Blatt said he only does the wedge because the trim doesn't heal as great.
This echoes with my research. For my concerns over the pigmented rim, he said for my case, the wedge will get rid of the most pigmented sections. I finally decided Dr. Blatt is the right surgeon for the following reasons: 1. his focus on vaginal surgeries; 2. natural results of before & after photos; 3. great accessibility & a very candid environment (not like some fancy plastic surgeon offices that sell expensive illusions over results). Denise has been a great pleasure to work with.
I went into the surgery room feeling nervous and uncertain, however, things turn out to be great. There was never significant pain and most importantly, I am liking the result already. Below is a summary of my recovery experience for your reference: Day 1 - I got out of the surgery in late afternoon and felt a bit tired and dizzy, but no pain. I took an oxycodone before went to bed anyway and slept like a baby.
Day 2 and Day 3 - the toughest time throughout the recovery. The soreness kicked back as the anesthesia wore off, but all was manageable. Day 4 to Day 8 - I bled a bit during these days. Soreness was constant but a little better day by day. I was able to work full time, but couldn't sit long. Some sudden tickling & itching started. Day 9 to Day 10 - Itching peaked in these two days and I couldn't sleep tight. Dr. Blatt suggested to get some hydrocortisone cream.
I didn't get it due to laziness and concerns over rubbing more cream onto the stitches. Anyway, I lived through it. Day 10 to Day 14 - bleeding has stopped. Itching and soreness got better. Swelling went down by about 70%. Day 14 was my first post-op visit and Dr. Blatt confirmed everything looked good. Day 14 to Day 31(today) - Soreness's been tapering down to minimal. Sitting and walking were at 100% comfort level going into the 4th week. Sutures started to dissolve and by my second post-op visit (at Day 28), I only had about 5% of the sutures left.
Today I am suture free. Other tips: 1. Read the instructions carefully and get everything ready before the surgery. Invest in a good peri bottle. Stock extra Hibiclens. 2. I had constipation during the first 3 days and that was uncomfortable. Stock some Colace just in case. I hope this review is helpful and best of luck to you all.
