This is not common expertise.
This is the source of the expertise.
The Surgeon Who Trains the World’s Leaders
For more than 20 years, Dr. Alinsod has run the most sought-after cosmetic gynecology fellowship training in the world. Surgeons across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, South America, and Asia travel to learn directly from him. Many of today’s most prominent cosmetic gynecologists—those appearing on lecture panels, in textbooks, and on major surgical courses—were trained by Dr. Alinsod, and openly credit him as their mentor
A decade ago he co-edited Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery: Concepts, Classification and Technique, considered the seminal textbook in the field. He founded CAVS, the Congress on Aesthetic Vulvovaginal Surgery—the longest-running international meeting dedicated to this specialty.
When surgeons get stuck on complex cases, they come to him.When a technique needs to be modernized, he builds the solution.When the field needs direction, he leads it. He looks to invent the best solution.
A Passion for Repairing Botched Surgery
The work Dr. Alinsod is most proud of is his restorative surgery for patients with botched or poorly performed labiaplasty and vaginoplasty—procedures all too often done by surgeons with minimal experience who perform one to two cases a year. That is the average number of labiaplasty cases a general plastic surgeon or gynecologist performs.
His CV includes peer-reviewed publications and new reconstructive techniques for repairing severe deformities, including those caused by female genital cutting and overly aggressive or poorly planned labiaplasty.
His innovations—Radiofrequency Feathering and RF Grooving—allow him to smooth scars, correct asymmetry, eliminate “Dog Ears,” restore missing natural edges, and rebuild the contour of the labia minora with unparalleled finesse. These methods are now used internationally, but originated from Dr. Alinsod’s desire to heal women who felt hopeless.
For patients who believe their surgery “cannot be fixed,” Dr. Alinsod routinely proves otherwise. His work offers not just restoration, but closure, confidence, and emotional healing. He is known widely as the “Second Chance” surgeon.
A Deeply Personal American Journey
While at Loma Linda University School of Medicine and during his internship and residency, Dr. Alinsod served his country with pride as a Health Profession Scholar.
As a Major in the United States Air Force Medical Corps, he led gynecologic services at George Air Force Base and Nellis Air Force Base, caring for servicewomen with precision, compassion, and the discipline that would shape his surgical career. He was Chief of Gynecologic Services at both bases.
His Air Force training built the foundation for his calm, methodical, safety-driven approach. His patriotism remains a core part of his identity and informs the integrity with which he practices medicine.
A Surgeon of Creativity, Precision, and Heart
Dr. Alinsod is not simply a technical innovator—he is an artist with a scientific mind. His approach blends aesthetic sensitivity with gynecologic mastery. His background spans over 30 years of accomplishements:
* Board Certification (ABOG)
* Fellowships and memberships in ACOG, ACS, ISCG, ESAG, IAVA, AGAS, ASLMS, AUGS, ICS, IUGA, and more
* Founding Father status for the subspecialty field of Cosmetic Gynecology
* Advanced laparoscopic, pelvic reconstructive, and cosmetic expertise
* Non-surgical technologies including radiofrequency, lasers, plasmaporation, PRP, Amniotic Fluid, exosomes, and regenerative medicine
* Photography and Videography, his longtime passions, which enhances his aesthetic eye for proportion and detail, and ability to create beautiful educational pieces of art
Patients describe him not only as the most experienced surgeon they can find—but the one who listens, personalizes, has an artistic eye, and truly cares.
