Karen Dias-Martin, MD
Dr. Karen Dias-Martin specializes in an area of surgery best suited to a gynecologist’s education and skill. Whether from a congenital deformity, the effects of childbirth or weight gain, or simply aesthetic concerns, many women come to Dr. Martin to reconstruct the genital labia – either the majora or the minora – or other aspects of the genitals such as the size or tightness of the vaginal canal.
Dr. Martin is easy to talk to and a great listener. As she says, “What I love is the dialogue…” It’s not always easy for a patient to bring up a subject like this since there are so many misconceptions about what’s “normal” and what is not. Often women feel they are alone in their feelings but Dr. Martin quickly dispels this notion. In fact, cosmetic gynecology and vaginal reconstruction are more common than most people know and Dr. Martin makes every patient feel comfortable — that they have a place to voice any concern without embarrassment or hesitation.
Dr. Martin is a practicing gynecologist and Division chief of OBGYN at Mountainside Hospital in Montclair, NJ while at the same time building tremendous reputation in this very specialized area here at New Jersey Plastic Surgery. She says, “I get energized by other people’s energy. Whether I’m helping one woman deal with menopause or helping another gain back her self-confidence through cosmetic gynecology, I am totally here for each patient.”
With a variety of interests, Dr. Martin’s life is rich both in her work and her personal life. She is a native of New Jersey, a budding and avid golfer who loves art and travel. She is outgoing and fun – a personality totally suited to working with women in so sensitive an area of medicine.
