John R. Miklos, MD

About Dr. John R. Miklos

Dr. John R. Miklos is a double board-certified, fellowship-trained urogynecologist and internationally recognized expert in cosmetic vaginal surgery, female pelvic reconstruction, and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. His career has been distinguished by an uncommon combination of advanced surgical training, clinical innovation, scientific research, physician education, and decades of experience treating women with both aesthetic and complex reconstructive concerns.

What sets Dr. Miklos apart is the depth of his surgical background. Following his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology, he completed a two-year fellowship in Urogynecology and Reconstructive Vaginal Surgery and subsequently pursued an additional two years of advanced training in laparoscopic reconstructive surgery and female pelvic anatomy. He later obtained specialized training in aesthetic vaginal reconstructive surgery, becoming one of the earliest fellowship-trained urogynecologists to incorporate cosmetic vaginal surgery into an advanced reconstructive practice.

This combination gives Dr. Miklos a perspective that extends well beyond cosmetic appearance alone. His approach to cosmetic gynecology is grounded in a detailed understanding of female pelvic anatomy, vaginal support, nerve and muscle function, reconstructive surgery, sexual function, and aesthetic outcome.

A Unique Combination of Cosmetic & Reconstructive Expertise

Cosmetic gynecology requires more than the ability to change the appearance of external tissue. The vagina, labia, clitoris, pelvic floor, supporting muscles, nerves, and connective tissues form an interconnected anatomical system in which appearance and function can overlap.

Dr. Miklos" extensive background in urogynecology and reconstructive vaginal surgery provides an important foundation for cosmetic procedures involving this anatomy.

This is particularly relevant when treating women who have experienced childbirth-related changes, previous vaginal surgery, asymmetry, excessive tissue removal, scarring, vaginal laxity, clitoral prominence, pelvic-floor injury, or an unsatisfactory result from a previous cosmetic procedure.

His experience also includes patients seeking revision or corrective surgery after previous labiaplasty or vaginal procedures.

Extensive Experience in Cosmetic Vaginal Surgery

Dr. Miklos was involved in cosmetic vaginal surgery during the earlier development of the field and has continued performing, studying, refining, and teaching these procedures for more than two decades.

His cosmetic gynecology experience includes procedures such as:

• Labiaplasty
• Revision labiaplasty
• Vaginal rejuvenation
• Vaginoplasty
• Vaginal tightening
• Perineoplasty
• Clitoropexy
• Clitoral hood reduction and reshaping
• Labia majora reduction
• Labia majora augmentation
• Mons pubis procedures
• Complex cosmetic vaginal reconstruction

His experience with both primary and revision surgery is especially important. Correcting a previous procedure may require a substantially different level of surgical planning than performing a first-time cosmetic operation because tissue may already have been removed, scarred, repositioned, or altered.

A Pioneer in Minimally Invasive Female Pelvic Surgery

Long before minimally invasive pelvic reconstruction became commonplace, Dr. Miklos was involved in performing and advancing laparoscopic approaches to complex female pelvic surgery.

His experience includes procedures for pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, fistulas, vaginal support defects, and other difficult pelvic conditions.

That reconstructive background helped shape his approach to cosmetic vaginal surgery: understand the anatomy first, identify the actual problem, preserve function, and then determine the most appropriate surgical technique.

Research, Publications & Contributions to Cosmetic Gynecology

Dr. Miklos has maintained a strong academic component throughout his surgical career.

He has authored or contributed to hundreds of scientific papers, abstracts, textbook chapters, and educational publications involving female pelvic medicine, minimally invasive surgery, reconstructive vaginal surgery, and cosmetic gynecology.

His work has addressed subjects ranging from advanced pelvic reconstruction to labiaplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, clitoropexy, and cosmetic vaginal surgery outcomes.

Dr. Miklos and his colleagues were also involved in some of the early scientific efforts to evaluate vaginal rejuvenation using validated measures rather than relying exclusively on anecdotal cosmetic results.

This combination of clinical experience and scientific investigation is an important part of his contribution to the development of modern cosmetic gynecology.

An International Surgeon & Physician Educator

Dr. Miklos" experience is not limited to treating patients.

He has traveled internationally to lecture, teach surgical techniques, participate in professional meetings, and perform surgery, and physicians have traveled to observe and learn the techniques used by Drs. Miklos and Moore.

His teaching has reached surgeons associated with major medical centers and universities in the United States and abroad.

This educational role reflects an important distinction: Dr. Miklos has not simply practiced advanced cosmetic and reconstructive vaginal surgery—he has also been involved in teaching other surgeons how these procedures are performed.

Recognized for Surgical Excellence

Throughout his career, Dr. Miklos has received recognition from both minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and aesthetic gynecology organizations.

His honors have included major awards from the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, repeated Castle Connolly Top Doctor recognition, America"s Best Doctors recognition, and international awards associated with cosmetic vaginal surgery and aesthetic surgical outcomes.

These honors span different areas of his career—from advanced laparoscopic surgery and reconstruction to cosmetic vaginal surgery—which reflects the breadth of his surgical experience.

Why Dr. John Miklos Stands Apart in Cosmetic Gynecology

Women considering cosmetic vaginal surgery are often choosing a surgeon for an area of the body where appearance, sensation, anatomy, and function are closely connected.

Dr. Miklos brings together several areas of expertise that are rarely found in one surgical background:

• Urogynecology
• Female pelvic reconstruction
• Advanced laparoscopic surgery
• Cosmetic vaginal surgery
• Revision surgery
• Scientific research
• International surgical education

For women considering labiaplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, vaginoplasty, perineoplasty, clitoropexy, clitoral hood surgery, or revision cosmetic vaginal surgery, this depth of experience provides an approach based not simply on changing appearance, but on understanding the anatomy and preserving function while pursuing the patient"s aesthetic goals.

Dr. Miklos" career has been devoted to the advancement of female pelvic and vaginal surgery, from some of the most complex reconstructive procedures to highly specialized cosmetic operations. His combination of surgical training, decades of experience, research, publications, international teaching, and recognition makes his background particularly distinctive within the field of cosmetic gynecology.
