Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Sidhbh Gallagher

Sourced directly from Dr. Sidhbh Gallagher's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Gallagher's advice if a surgeon is unwilling to attempt removal of a specific item?
Dr. Gallagher recommends that patients seek a different surgeon if their current surgeon is unwilling to attempt removal of the item discussed, as it will ultimately save the patient time and money.

What are the indications for clitoral reduction?
Clitoral reduction may be sought for physical discomfort, such as painful rubbing against clothing or interference with exercise and everyday activities. Some patients also experience uncomfortable hypersensitivity or pain during intimacy. Additionally, some patients seek the procedure because they feel the size or prominence of their clitoris does not align with their desired aesthetic.

What are the surgical goals for clitoral reduction?
The goal of clitoral reduction is a proportionate reduction while carefully preserving nerves, blood supply, and function.
Source →
What is the difference between corset training and rib remodeling?
Corset training temporarily compresses the waist and usually does not permanently change adult rib anatomy. In contrast, rib remodeling surgically reshapes the lower ribs, creating a structural and likely better lasting change, especially when supported by proper postoperative corseting.
Source →
What is the Ribxcar technique for rib remodeling, and are there BMI limitations?
The Ribxcar technique for rib remodeling is designed to result in no scar. However, for patients with a BMI over 28, the thicker soft-tissue layer makes the ribs harder to safely access, visualize, and reshape through tiny punctures. This also limits how much waist definition the skeletal change will visibly produce. In such cases, achieving a predictable result may require larger incisions or preliminary fat reduction, and Dr. Gallagher cannot responsibly offer the virtually scarless approach.

What are key facts about zero-depth vulvoplasty?
Zero-depth vulvoplasty does not create a vaginal canal, meaning ongoing dilation is not required. However, the nerves responsible for sensation are preserved, similar to full-depth vaginoplasty, making orgasm possible.
