Services
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty reduces the size of the labia minora for aesthetic or functional improvement. This procedure addresses discomfort from enlarged labia, enhances hygiene, and boosts confidence. Patients often report improved comfort during physical activity and sexual satisfaction.
Gender Confirmation Surgery
Gender confirmation surgery creates anatomically natural genitalia aligned with a patient's gender identity. The procedure prioritizes functionality, sensation, and aesthetics. Comprehensive care includes pre- and post-operative support for a seamless transition.
Penile Reconstruction
Penile reconstruction corrects congenital defects, trauma, or post-surgical complications. Techniques restore form and function while minimizing scarring. The goal is to achieve natural appearance and sexual functionality.
Clitoral Hood Reduction
Clitoral hood reduction removes excess tissue for aesthetic balance and comfort. The procedure can enhance clitoral exposure, potentially improving sexual stimulation. Recovery is typically swift with minimal downtime.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation uses implants or fat transfer to enhance size and shape. Customized approaches ensure natural results aligned with body proportions. The procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss for improved self-image.

I had a procedure done with Dr. Alter 4 months ago and it has healed nicely. I am very glad I found him and took the 5 hour flight to see him it was well worth the trip. He made the entire experience stress-free with his personable, friendly demeanor. Also shout out to his nurse Norma! She was incredible and super kind. By far the best patient-care I have ever received. They were both a pleasure to work with and I am thankful I met them.

I had surgery done with Dr. Alter and I am very pleased with my results. I don't think any other doctor would've been able to achieve the results that Dr. Alter was able to. I felt very comfortable and safe being in his care. I truly believe he is the best at what he does. Dr. Alter and his staff are wonderful and I would highly recommend him.

I discovered Dr Alter because he kept popping up online when I was researching labiaplasty. That should have been a big red flag. Who needs to advertise themselves that much? My results are awful The aftercare was a joke. He continued to answer people's questions on realself instead of responding to post op questions! The only good thing I have to say is the nurse that I hired to look after me on the day of my surgery was lovely. But she doesn't even work for the practice so I can't even give them credit for that.
