Labiaplasty in Dubai

Labiaplasty is a surgery that removes excessive, redundant labia from female genitals. The term labiaplasty refers to the reduction in size of the labia minora. The labia minora are the bands of tissue on either side of the vagina that are directly inside the labia majora. These two flaps of skin extend down from the clitoris.

Hormonal changes in the body brought on by pregnancy, puberty, menopause and age, enlarge and darken the color of these tissues. Many women find these changes particularly disturbing as they may be obvious to them and their sexual partners. In some cases, the labia minora can become so large that it interferes with sexual intercourse.

Labiaplasty offers a solution to women facing such issues.

Labiaplasty in Dubai at Hasan Surgery is done either under local anesthesia with sedation, or general anesthesia. The procedure involves cutting away the excess tissue and closing the incision. The aim of the labiaplasty surgery is to reduce the labia minora and not to totally remove them.

There are mainly three methods to do a labiaplasty surgery, and the choice depends on the specific client circumstances.

Trim Technique – This method focuses on removing the edges of the protruding areas. It removes the dark edges of the labia, giving it a more petite appearance. Excess labial tissue is trimmed with a scalpel or laser. The area is then closed with stitches.

Wedge Technique – Unlike the “trim” method, where the edges of the labia are cut, this method removes a wedge of tissue from the center of the labia. This helps to retain the natural contours of the labia. Once the excess tissue is cut, the sides are stitched together.

De-epithelialization Technique – The tissue lining the labia is removed with a scalpel or laser, and the area is then closed with stitches.

The ideal candidate for labiaplasty in Dubai at Hasan Surgery should be a healthy female who is above the age of 18. She should have excessive labial skin, which causes discomfort or self-consciousness during intercourse, exercise, or wearing of tight-fitting clothes.

She should not have any medical condition that could interfere with the healing of the wound.

Prior to ensuring your candidature for Labiaplasty surgery in Dubai at Hasan Surgery, your plastic surgeon will review your medical history and past and present health condition. You will have to discuss the medication you are on, including any herbal supplements.

You must stop smoking prior to the labiaplasty surgery and after the surgery, as tobacco can slow down the blood flow to the skin and thereby slow down the healing process.

Your plastic surgeon will check your previous medical history prior to recommending the procedure. The surgery will show desirable results only on women who are generally healthy and do not have any previous history of having cardiac issues, pulmonary emboli, excessive bleeding, seizures, immunodeficiency disorders, or deep vein thrombosis. Women with such conditions are discouraged from undergoing this procedure due to a higher risk of surgical complications.

Women who are on certain anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant drugs are also discouraged from undergoing a labiaplasty.

The cost of Labiaplasty in Dubai depends on the following factors:

It is advised to get an initial consultation from a specialist plastic surgeon to know the cost applicable to your case and your eligibility for the procedure.
