Slings are made of polypropylene, an inert nylon, that is placed right under the mid urethra to act as a backboard when pressure from above (cough/sneeze/laugh/jump) compresses the uret...


History of the Alinsod Grooving Technique to Create Labia Minora from No Labia
04/29/2025

Red Alinsod, MD

Alinsod Institute for Aesthetic Vulvovaginal Surgery

Dallas, TX

BACKGROUND on LABIAPLASTY:

In 2005 I developed the Barbie Look Labiaplasty, a radical and aggressive form of labiaplasty that removed almost all to all of the labia minora to achieve maximal comfort for athletes, reduce the outlining of the labia when wearing swimsuits and leotard, and as a cosmetic preference to obtain a “clamshell” look wanted by women in Southern California. This was an athletic, smooth, and sleek look that was the most “tucked in” you could get. It was impo...

Dr. Red Alinsod presents a peek behind the ISCG Curtains at Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Our Annual Shin Dig for the world’s Top Cosmetic Gynecologists.

A Journey Through Time: The History and Global Rise of Cosmetic Gynecology

Cosmetic gynecology might seem like a modern trend, but its roots stretch back further than you might think.

Botched Labiaplasty Revision Surgery Case Studies
03/04/2025

View 41 Botched Labiaplasty Cases on my Alinsod Institute Website:

Click Here: https://alinsodinstitute.com/procedure-gallery/labiaplasty-revisions-1/

As more gynecologists, urologists, plastic surgeons, and cosmetic surgeons perform labial and vaginal surgeries, the need for revision surgery has steadily risen. Most of these surgeons attempting labial and vaginal surgeries have had no formalized training in aesthetic vaginal surgeries. This leads to complications, displeasing appearance, and unhappy patients. An example is a very notable porn star who allegedly had a botched vaginoplasty performed in Beverly Hills by a renowned surgeon. More and more anecdotal reports have surfaced about...


Jett Medical II Obtains FDA Clearance and now in Dallas, Texas
02/03/2025

Great things are happening in Dallas! Over 10 years ago I designed and helped launch ThermiVa Radiofrequency treatments and it became the standard for Feminine Wellness and non-surgical “Vaginal Rejuvenation.” Now we take a quantum leap forward. After 7 years of an intense approval process, on January 21, 2025, Compex of the Czech Republic, and their Jett Medical device, received their FDA 510k clearance in the United States. Let me explain why this is so important for the field of Cosmetic Gynecology.

* Plasma technology: DC current (Direct Current) in the 1-5 milliampere range is able to create non-ablative plasma energy at the...

Management of the Gaping Vagina
11/01/2024

Many women have the problem of a wide and gaping vagina after having had childbirth, even if they've only had one baby. Chronic pushing and constipation, and perhaps even heavyweight bodybuilding and lifting, can push the pelvic organs forcefully out of the vaginal canal and result in a vaginal opening that looks wide open. Sometimes there's even a little bulge from the rectum or the bladder. What can you do? If you have a fallen bladder or rectum (cystocele or rectocele or both), those can be fixed with surgery. If you don't have a bulge, and it is just...


Part 2: Labia Majoraplasty with Fat Pad Excision
10/21/2024

Some women are just born with very plump and fatty Labia Majora. Genetics. This patient was in her early 20s and experienced unkind remarks about her “Camel Toes.” This video shows how Fat Pad Reduction/Removal is performed in my office. I invented this procedure almost two decades ago and have taught it worldwide. It is an exceptionally safe In-Office Surgery and one that is quite noticeable in terms of results.

As a Flash Announcement made on my VageniusMD Instagram account we will be honoring a One Week Only 30% OFF Labiaplasty and/or Vaginoplasty Surgery this week endi...


Part 1: Management of Camel Toes: Combination Labia Minoraplasty and Majoraplasty with Fat Pad Removal
09/30/2024

Camel Toes refer to the outline of the labia majora (the outer lips of the vulva) that becomes visible through tightly fitting clothes, resembling the shape of a camel's toe. This phenomenon can occur due to anatomical factors combined with the tension of fabric in the crotch area which can be exacerbated by aging and weight loss. This video shows you how I remove the fat.

You can watch these two videos I released earlier this year for a review:

* Managment of the Camel Toes (Very detailed)

* Management of the Saggy Labia Majora...

Large Volume Vampire Wing Lift with FemXHA
08/26/2024

The Vampire Wing Lift was invented by Charles Runels, MD, in Fairhope, Alabama. He deserves the credit for thinking of using platelet rich plasma with hyaluronic acid together for the use in the Labia Majora. He also invented the O-Shot, P-Shot, Vampire Facial, Vampire Face Lift, Vampire Breast Lift, and Clitoxin. This video is a bit different in that I purposely used a large volume of PRP and Hyaluronic Acid together to give a specific and full blown puffy look to the Labia Majora. This is how the patient wanted to look and it was part of her identity...

Last month I focused on Feminine Restoration and the treatments offered in my office. This newsletter sheds light on where those treatment ideas came from. Give credit where it is due. Charles Runels, MD.

Some of you may know Charles Runels, MD, as the inventor of the O-Shot, P-Shot, Vampire Wing Lift, Vampire Facial, Vampire Face Lift, Vampire Breast Lift, and now Clitoxin.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit femininewellness.substack.com

These are the CORE everyday treatments I do in my office for the dry, loose, saggy, insensitive, and leaky feminine organs and tissues. I developed and originated most of these treatments over the past 20 year. You will see these steps:

What is that Bulge?
06/16/2024

Can you tell what this is? Bladder or Rectum or both? Tough to tell unless you do a lot to these types of evaluations and surgeries. I have been fooled myself.

Let me show you the steps on how I do the exams using a Half Speculum (the bottom of a standard speculum). If you have this problem then make sure your doc uses this method of evaluation. Don’t let them get away with a mediocre exam.

Testosterone Pellets for Women
06/02/2024

The above video focuses on the BioTE system of Testosterone Pellets for women. The most common form of pellet delivery in the United States. Other systems out there have similar results.

Just depends on how you want to take your hormones.

Here are my personal biases regarding Testosterone Therapy in summary:

* Testosterone is a tremendous benefit for men and women and improves the quality of life for...


Health and Hormones Webinar and Consult
05/21/2024

It is getting hotter and summer has arrived. Time for self care. Let’s revisit hormones.

I introduced my Feminine Wellness Team to you through this newsletter back on April 18, 2022. Diane, Brenda, and Marisol were my Dream Team of almost two decades (2005 to 2023). Diane passed away almost two years (we miss her terribly) ago. Life happened and I moved my practice to Dallas and Vegas about a year and a half ago. Marisol and Brenda are thriving and are still in Orange County, California. I miss these ladies too. They were so instrumental in my successful hormone pr...


Clitoxin for Improved Female Sexual Function
05/13/2024

The O-Shot has been around for over a decade now. I have been treating patients and teaching how to do the injections since 2015. It is the use of your own blood to obtain the best Growth Factors and anti-inflammatory proteins called Cytokines and giving it back to you via an injection or device to put it deep under your skin (e.g. Predictive Permeation). The inventor, Charles Runels, MD, and his wife Alexandra Runels, MD, have changed the landscape with the introduction of the Clitoxin injection.

Many women loose sensitivity of their clitoris and G-Spot areas as...
