Dr Fariba Behnia-Willison
Endo-Gynaecologist, Urodynamics
MBBS FRANZCOG MMIS

Dr Lawrence has recently started collaborative work with Dr Fariba Behnia-Willison.

Dr Fariba Behnia-Willison is at the leading edge of gynaecological treatment worldwide. She is the pioneer Gynaecologist in Australia, practicing the revolutionary SILS (Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery) which means less pain, faster recovery and no visible scarring. Dr Behnia-Willison is a Pelvic Floor Specialist and is also the pioneer in Cosmetic Gynaecological Surgery.

Dr Behnia-Willison believes that sexual wellbeing is important to a happy, well balanced life. In addition to physical pleasure, sex strengthens emotional bonds between partners, and adds excitement to life. Research has shown that having regular sexual activity during the week can also reduce the rate of cardiovascular problems and is protective for the heart. This applies to both men and women.

Many women experience vaginal relaxation. They complain of feeling “loose” and have very little sensation. They feel that “sex is no longer the same”. There is a safe and effective way to treat vaginal relaxation.

Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation (LVR)

Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation is a surgical procedure that restores vaginal muscle tone, strength, and control to an optimal state. Dr Fariba Behnia-Willison performs Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation. She will be happy to discuss your treatment options as well as the risks and benefits of this innovative procedure with you.

Designer Laser Vaginoplasty (DLV)

DLV is a group of cosmetic laser procedures which repairs, enhances and beautifies the genital structures. The most common DLV procedures are Laser Reduction Labioplasty, Laser Perineoplasty, augmentation of the Labia Majora and Laser Hymenoplasty.

Any or all of these DLV procedures can be performed alone, or in combination with LVR.

G Shot

The G-Shot is a revolutionary scientific breakthrough that enhances and enlarges the G-Spot. This is a safe, drug-free, fast, painless and effective procedure which takes less than 30 minutes in the doctor’s office.

After the injection of the G-Shot, women have claimed to experience a peak in their sex drive, and have noticed a heightened state of arousal.
