By Dr. David Matlock, MD, MBA | Beverly Hills, CA | July 2026
When Brandi Glanville — the outspoken, fearless star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — speaks, the world listens. On the July 2 episode of her podcast Unfiltered, and in a stunning feature published by US Weekly on July 14, 2026, Glanville did something extraordinary: she named her surgeon publicly. She named me.
“I was with Dr. [David] Matlock,” Glanville told her audience. “He was the pioneer for the surgery. He was the original doctor to do it.”

She is right. And her willingness to speak openly about a procedure that women have historically whispered about in private — if they discussed it at all — represents a breathtaking cultural shift. One that I have spent nearly four decades preparing for.

The Procedure That Changed Everything
I developed Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation® — LVR® — and Designer Laser Vaginoplasty® in the 1990s. At the time, the concept that a woman’s intimate anatomy could be surgically restored with precision, care, and remarkable outcomes was considered radical. There were no textbooks. There were no training programs. There was no roadmap. There was only the extraordinary need of women who came to me quietly, carefully, often after years of suffering in silence — and the surgical vision to answer that need.
What I built was not simply a procedure. It was a new category of surgery — one that reimagined what was possible for women’s health, confidence, and quality of life. A category that the medical establishment has since embraced worldwide, with surgeons from over 45 countries traveling to Beverly Hills to train under me. To date, I have trained more than 436 surgeons in this procedure. When Brandi Glanville says I was the pioneer — she is describing the precise, documented truth.
Why Brandi Glanville’s Story Matters
Brandi Glanville is not the first woman to choose Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation in Beverly Hills. She is not even the first public figure. But she may be the most candid — and in a conversation that still carries more stigma than it deserves, candor is a form of courage.
She spoke about her experience in 2009 — after having two children — with the kind of honesty that most women feel but few say aloud. She described the physical changes that childbirth brings to the body. Changes that are real, common, and profoundly underaddressed by conventional medicine. She made a decision to reclaim her body on her own terms. And she chose the surgeon who built the procedure that made that possible.
What Glanville’s public disclosure does — beyond affirming my work — is give millions of women permission to have a conversation they have been postponing. Permission to name what they feel. Permission to ask what is possible. Permission to reach out.
What Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Actually Is
Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation® is a surgical procedure designed to enhance vaginal muscle tone, strength, and control — restoring the structural integrity that childbirth, age, and hormonal changes diminish over time. It is performed with extraordinary precision using laser technology, allowing for results that are naturally beautiful and recovery experiences that are significantly more comfortable than traditional surgical approaches.
Designer Laser Vaginoplasty® addresses the aesthetic dimensions of feminine anatomy — the external structures that affect a woman’s confidence, comfort in clothing, physical activity, and intimate life. Together, these two procedures represent a comprehensive, effortless approach to feminine restoration that I have refined over nearly four decades of surgical practice.
These are not experimental procedures. They are not trends. They are established, peer-reviewed, clinically documented surgical techniques that have transformed the lives of women across all 50 states and more than 70 countries. The women who come to my Beverly Hills practice come from every background, every age group, every stage of life. What they share is a desire to feel like themselves again — only better.
The Conversation Medicine Has Been Avoiding
One of the most remarkable aspects of Glanville’s disclosure is what it reveals about the gap in women’s healthcare. She described changes to her body after childbirth that her doctors did not fully address. This is not an isolated experience — it is a systemic failure of conventional medicine to meet women where they are.
The standard medical advice for vaginal laxity after childbirth is Kegel exercises. Kegels are not without value — they strengthen the pelvic floor muscle, and that matters. But they cannot restore the structural tissue that childbirth permanently alters. They cannot address the laxity, the reduced sensation, or the aesthetic changes that affect how a woman experiences her body and her intimate life. Telling a woman to do Kegels when she needs surgical restoration is the medical equivalent of telling someone with a broken bone to take a walk.
I have been saying this for 39 years. Brandi Glanville said it to her podcast audience in 2026. The message is finally reaching the women who need it most.
Why Women Choose Dr. Matlock
I am often asked what sets my practice apart. The answer is deceptively simple: I created this field. The surgeons performing Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation around the world today learned this procedure either from me directly or from surgeons I trained. When you choose a surgeon who studied under me, you are working with someone trained by the pioneer. When you choose me, you are working with the pioneer himself.
My Beverly Hills practice brings together 39 years of surgical experience, the most advanced laser technology available, and a deeply personal approach to patient care that begins long before you enter the operating room and continues long after you leave it. Every consultation is private. Every treatment plan is individual. Every outcome is approached with the same breathtaking commitment to precision that has defined my career.
The women who come to me have often spent years wondering if what they feel is normal, whether anything can be done, and whether they deserve to ask. The answer to all three questions is the same: yes.
A Message to Every Woman Who Recognizes Herself in This Story
If you read Brandi Glanville’s story and felt something stir — recognition, relief, curiosity, or a quiet sense that she was describing your experience too — I want you to know that what you felt is not coincidence. It is the sound of a conversation that was always meant to reach you.
The physical changes you have experienced are real. The way they affect your confidence, your intimacy, your relationship with your own body — all of it is real. And the possibility of restoration — genuine, surgical, permanent restoration — is equally real.
You do not have to carry this quietly. You do not have to accept that this is simply how things are now. You do not have to wonder what is possible. I have spent 39 years answering that exact question for women from every corner of the world. The answer, delivered with the precision and care that Brandi Glanville trusted in 2009 and that women continue to trust today, is breathtaking.
