Cosmetic Gynecology Procedures: Non-Surgical PRP
A crash course in PRP and PPP
The next few newsletters will cover what all this non-surgical stuff is all about. I will use the articles and book below as my sources and template.
So what is in blood that can act like a healing drug?
How are PRP and PPP different?
How do you train for this?
The best coverage of the materials is the just released November 2021 article by Prabhu Mishra and Diana Mihai, et al. I have been given permission by Prabhu to refer to it liberally. For historical perspective I wrote an article in April of 2013 with Cheryl Iglesia and Ladin Yurteri-Kaplan called “Female genital cosmetic surgery: a review of techniques and outcomes.” Turned out to be quite a landmark article for the International Urogynecology Journal. In August of 2016 I wrote another article with Navneet Magon called “Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery: Delivering What Women Wants” for The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of India. Then in 2018 I worked with Aylin Gunes to publish “A mini-review of aesthetic gynecology and leading gynecology associations’ approaches to this issue.” The description of the specialty is covered. Go here to request the 4 articles and I will send you the PDFs.
If you want more details you can purchase my textbook “Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery: Concepts, classification and techniques” from Apple Books or Amazon. Christine Hamori and Paul Banwell are co-editors. This is the Bible for Cosmetic Gynecologists. It is now also in Spanish, Chinese, and Polish.
I have had incredible support from friends around the world in regards to this book. I want to thank them all for supporting the growth of the specialty. Here is a picture Jack Pardo Schranz sent me from Santiago, Chile. Thanks Jack!
