Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Michael A. Reed
Sourced directly from Dr. Michael A. Reed's social posts and replies.
What is Dr. Reed's approach to labiaplasty?
Dr. Reed utilizes an advanced radiofrequency technique, specifically with a precision tool like Soniquence, for labiaplasty. This method avoids scissors or scalpels, allowing for sculpting delicate tissue with less trauma, minimal bleeding, and a more refined approach, leading to artistic and refined results.
What is Yuvafem and what are its benefits?
Yuvafem is a small vaginal tablet containing estradiol, a form of estrogen, used locally in the vagina. It can make a meaningful difference for women experiencing dryness, irritation, and changes in tissue health associated with lower estrogen levels, such as during perimenopause or menopause. It supports improved moisture, lubrication, reduced dryness and irritation, greater comfort with intimacy, and healthier vaginal tissue.
Why is it important to understand the difference between the vulva and vagina?
The vulva and vagina are distinct structures with different functions: the vulva is the external anatomy, and the vagina is the internal canal. Dr. Reed emphasizes that knowing this difference and using accurate anatomical language helps women better understand their bodies, communicate concerns with healthcare providers, and make informed decisions about their care.
What is Uberlube and why is lubricant selection important?
Uberlube is a premium silicone-based lubricant recommended to reduce friction, support comfort, and protect delicate tissue during intimacy. Dr. Reed emphasizes that not all lubricants are equally effective, and selecting the correct formula for individual needs can significantly improve comfort, especially for sensitive or dry tissues.
What is the role of testosterone in women's health and when should it be evaluated?
Testosterone is not exclusively a 'male hormone'; women produce it too, and it plays an important role in their hormone health, vitality, muscle strength, and overall well-being. Lower than expected levels can lead to changes in desire, intimate well-being, energy, motivation, muscle strength, body composition, focus, mental clarity, and mood. Levels can change with age, menopause, or certain medications. Dr. Reed emphasizes that symptoms alone don't tell the whole story, and proper evaluation with appropriate lab testing is crucial for understanding hormone health. If you notice such changes, discussing your hormone health with a doctor is recommended.
What causes changes in intimate sensation and are there treatment options?
Changes in intimate sensation are not merely psychological; they can occur due to various factors including alterations in circulation, tissue tightness (like phimosis around the clitoral hood), hormonal shifts, childbirth, menopause, or previous surgery. Sensation is influenced by anatomy, blood flow, hormones, nerves, and surrounding tissue health. Dr. Reed states that patients do not have to accept these changes as their new normal, as understanding the contributing factors can lead to treatment options to support circulation, address tissue restriction, optimize hormonal balance, and improve overall tissue health.
What should I know if I am considering revision surgery?
Not every surgical journey goes exactly as planned. If considering revision after a previous procedure, the right timing and surgeon are crucial. It's important to allow sufficient time for healing, often around 6 months, as swelling, scar tissue, and tissue remodeling continue beyond initial recovery. Revision procedures are more complex due to altered anatomy and existing scar tissue, requiring specialized experience and careful planning. Dr. Reed advises getting more than one expert opinion, consulting with 2-3 experienced surgeons to understand different approaches. He views revision not as starting over, but as creating a thoughtful plan for future aesthetic goals. His practice offers assistance to individuals considering revision surgery.
What should I consider when choosing a cosmetic gynecologic surgeon?
When choosing a surgeon for intimate anatomy procedures, Dr. Reed emphasizes that qualifications, specialized training, experience, and the surgeon’s approach to patient care are paramount. He highlights that board certification provides a strong foundation in OB-GYN and female anatomy, health, and function. Patients should look for fellowship training or significant experience specifically in cosmetic gynecology, ask to see before-and-after photos, and learn about the surgeon’s experience with their desired procedure. Ultimately, patients deserve a surgeon who listens, answers questions, sets realistic expectations, and creates a personalized plan, providing expertise, experience, and thoughtful care.
What is ProNox and how does it enhance comfort during procedures?
ProNox, often called 'laughing gas,' is a blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen used to reduce anxiety and increase comfort during certain in-office procedures like labiaplasty and ThermiVa. Patients remain awake, responsive, and in control throughout their treatment, feeling more relaxed and at ease. It's a great option for those desiring additional comfort.
