A Comprehensive Approach to Intimate Restoration
Changes after childbirth, aging, surgery, or weight fluctuation can affect several parts of the pelvic anatomy at the same time. A woman may notice vaginal laxity or reduced support along with labial discomfort, changes in appearance, or changes in sexual comfort and confidence.
Signature Intimate Restoration™ is Dr. Stepp’s most comprehensive approach for addressing these concerns together. It combines internal reconstruction, external reconstruction, and treatment selected to support tissue quality in one coordinated plan. The goal is a more complete restoration of comfort, function, and appearance.
Patients who do not need the complete program may consider any of its treatments individually.
1. Internal Restoration
Vaginoplasty can address the front, back, and sides of the vaginal walls, as well as the supporting structures between them, when the anatomy requires it. Dr. Stepp evaluates the full length of the vaginal canal rather than assuming that one standard repair will address every concern.

2. External Restoration
Labiaplasty and other external procedures can address labial discomfort, asymmetry, excess tissue, contour, and appearance. When appropriate, the plan may also include the clitoral hood, labia majora, perineum, or mons so that related concerns are considered together.

3. Regenerative and Energy-Based Support
Depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals, the plan may include surgery, energy-based care, PRP/PDGF options, or another evidence-based supportive treatment. Each component is discussed separately, including its purpose, evidence, alternatives, and regulatory status.

Why Dr. Stepp Offers a Complete Program
One Surgeon Considering the Whole Picture
"The operation begins long before the OR. I have to understand exactly what a woman is experiencing — not just what I can see, but what she feels and what has changed for her. That understanding is what guides the internal work. Anatomy is complex. If you don't take the time to listen first, you're solving the wrong problem."
Dr. Stepp is one of approximately 10 currently practicing surgeons in the United States with fellowship training in both urogynecology and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. He completed both fellowships at Cleveland Clinic and has performed more than 3,000 pelvic reconstructive procedures. That combination of training and experience allows him to consider internal support, external anatomy, minimally invasive surgery, and sexual function in the same plan.
Surgical Treatment
Restoring Structure and Proportion
Surgery addresses the anatomical changes that cannot be corrected with an office treatment alone.
- Internal: vaginoplasty and related vaginal support procedures
- External: labiaplasty, clitoral hood procedures, and vulvar contouring
- Combined: related concerns addressed during one coordinated operation when appropriate
Additional Tissue Treatment
Supporting Tissue Quality
Energy-based and regenerative options may be added when they fit the patient’s tissue needs and goals.
Consultation
Dr. Stepp listens to what has changed, examines the internal and external anatomy, and identifies the patient’s priorities.
Combined Treatment
The internal and external procedures are coordinated, with additional tissue treatment included only when it has a clear role.
Recovery
Follow-up is based on the procedures performed. Dr. Stepp remains directly involved throughout recovery.
