“Dear Dr. Stern-
 This email if for you to share with all women who are thinking about receiving a labiaplasty or any other type of surgery from you!
 
To any woman debating on a labiaplasty:
 
I am a 22 year old female who had been debating on a labiaplasty for the last two years.  Finally one day I decided it was time to go through with it and get it done.  I searched long and hard on the internet reading about this procedure, looking at all the pros and cons, and deciding who was the best surgeon in S. Florida to do it. 
 
After many years of looking I finally decided to meet with the wonderful Dr. Stern!  Man, was that the BEST decision I have EVER made.  I went to him in Feb. of 2009 and had my free consult.  As soon as I walked in Dr. Stern and Lilly made me feel right at home.  I was SO nervous and as soon as I sat down they talked to me like we were best friends and that seriously helped calm me down.  After talking to them and getting to know them a lilttle better I decided I was defintely going to get the surgery. 
 
I received my surgery on April 1, 2009 and by April 2 I was feeling fine and by April 3 I was walking around just fine.  Even one hour after surgery I was already in love with my new "lips."  I took only ONE pain pill and after that I was feeling good enough to not need anymore.  The first day was the worst.  The only real pain I experienced was going to the bathroom.  It burned a lot.  But after the first day it got a lot easier and by the third day I was fine.  In just a few days I was so happy with my results I could not have asked for more. 
 
The surgery went well, Dr. Stern and Lilly did an amazing job and I am SO very pleased with my results.  I am no longer in discomfort down there and no longer self conscious.  I HIGHLY recommend this surgery to any woman who is unhappy or uncomfortable down there.  Dr. Stern is AMAZING and will take great care of you.... THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. STERN!  You are the best :)  love love loveee my new.... you know!
