How to Choose a Labiaplasty Doctor in Australia

Start With the AHPRA Register

Every registered health practitioner in Australia is listed on the AHPRA public register at ahpra.gov.au. You can search by name to confirm that the doctor is currently registered, see any conditions on their registration, and confirm the scope of their practice.

If a practitioner is not on the AHPRA register, they are not legally permitted to practise medicine in Australia. This is the first check every patient should do.

Experience With the Specific Procedure

Ask about the doctor's training and experience with labiaplasty, the technique proposed for your anatomy, the accredited facility and the plan for follow-up and complications. The doctor should explain the limits of the available evidence and how the individual procedure plan is determined.

The Consultation Experience

A consultation should allow adequate time and privacy. The doctor should assess the anatomy where consent is given, explain the options and limitations, and discuss material risks, alternatives, recovery, fees and follow-up. You may decline, take more time or seek another opinion.

Consent should not be obtained at the first consultation, and the consultation should not pressure a booking decision.

Questions to Ask

• What technique do you recommend for my anatomy and why?
• What are the realistic outcomes and limitations?
• What are the specific risks, and how often do they happen in your practice?
• How do you handle complications?
• What is the total cost, itemised?
• What is the follow-up schedule?
• Can I see examples of your own work (not stock images)?
• What happens if the outcome differs from the plan?

Information and Conduct to Check

The consultation should include the proposed procedure, alternatives, the option of no surgery, material risks, recovery, costs and follow-up care. You can pause, ask more questions or seek another opinion before deciding.

After the two required consultations and informed consent, a minimum seven-day cooling-off period applies before surgery can be booked or a deposit paid.

Dr Konrat and This Practice

Dr Georgina Konrat is a cosmetic doctor (MBBS, FACCSM) practising at Labiaplasty Sydney in Bondi Junction. Her AHPRA registration is MED0001407863 and she has been practising since 1997. She developed the DOVE Surgery Technique and documented it in the Journal of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine in 2012.

You can read more on the about page or contact the practice with questions.

Beyond the basic credential check, pay attention to how the practice communicates with you from the first contact. Are your questions answered clearly? Are appointments scheduled without pressure? Is information sent in writing?

Published material and registration details can provide background information, but they do not establish whether surgery is appropriate for an individual. That requires consultation and clinical assessment.

A doctor may decline to perform surgery if it is not considered appropriate for the patient.

You are not required to book with the first doctor you consult and may seek another opinion.

During recovery, follow the individual instructions provided by the treating team. Contact the practice or seek urgent care as directed if concerns arise between scheduled appointments.

Additional Considerations

Labiaplasty is a decision that benefits from time, good information and an unhurried consultation. If you are researching the procedure, take your time, ask questions, and trust your own judgment about when — or whether — to proceed.
