ISCG, the International Society of Cosmetogynecology, is the international spokes-organization for female genital plastic and cosmetic medicine and surgery. It was the first organization to promote an exchange of ideas, new techniques, debate and comradery among the fastest emerging sub-specialty of Gynecology since the millennium, “Cosmetic Gynecology.” Their annual Congresses, by far the largest in the field of women’s intimate wellness and surgery draws participants from over 20 countries and the majority of U.S. states.

ISCG congress
