A Comprehensive Guide to Labiaplasty
in Dubai at New Al Shefa Poly Clinic

Labiaplasty Dubai is a surgical procedure that reduces or reshapes the labia minora. The labia refer to the skin folds surrounding the vaginal opening. There are two sets of folds: the outer ones, known as the labia majora or “large lips,” are thicker and protect the external genitalia. After puberty, these folds are covered with pubic hair. The inner folds, called the labia minora or “small lips,” shield the openings of the urethra, through which urine exits, and the vagina.

Understanding Why Women Choose Labiaplasty

The decision to undergo labiaplasty is often a deeply personal one, driven by both aesthetic and functional concerns. While the natural appearance of the labia varies widely, for some women, their unique anatomy can lead to significant physical and emotional distress.

Functional Reasons:

Beyond appearance, oversized or asymmetrical labia can cause daily discomfort. This can manifest as:
  • Physical Irritation and Chafing: Excess labial tissue can rub against clothing, especially during activities like running, cycling, or wearing tight-fitting jeans, leading to chronic pain and irritation.

  • Hygiene Difficulties:The folds can make it challenging to maintain proper hygiene, increasing the risk of infections.

  • Pain During Intercourse: For some, the labia can be pulled or twisted during sexual activity, causing discomfort and pain.

Aesthetic Reasons:

In today’s visually-driven world, many women feel self-conscious about their intimate appearance. This can be fueled by:

  • Innate Anatomy: Some women are born with naturally large or asymmetrical labia.

    •  
  • Changes from Puberty or Childbirth: Hormonal changes during puberty or physical stretching during childbirth can lead to an increase in labial size.

    •  
  • Aging: As with other parts of the body, the labia can lose elasticity and volume over time.
 

Regardless of the motivation, the expert team at New Al Shefa Poly Clinic provides a compassionate and judgment-free space to discuss your goals and find a solution that helps you feel your best.

Your Labiaplasty Journey: The Path to Transformation
at New Al Shefa Poly Clinic

The process of undergoing a labiaplasty at our clinic is a carefully managed journey focused on your safety, comfort, and satisfaction.

1. The Initial Consultation: Your Confidential Discussion

Your journey begins with a private and confidential consultation with our renowned cosmetic gynaecology specialist, Dr. Mahtab Ziai. This is your opportunity to:


  • Share Your Story: Explain your concerns and goals
  • Receive a Professional Assessment:Dr. Ziai will conduct a thorough physical examination to assess your unique anatomy and discuss the best course of action.
  • Understand the Surgical Options:You will learn about the different techniques, benefits, and potential outcomes.
  • Set Realistic Expectations: Dr. Ziai will ensure you have a clear understanding of what to expect, from the procedure to the final results.

2. Pre-Operative Preparation: Ensuring Your Safety

Once you decide to proceed, our team at New Al Shefa Poly Clinic will guide you through the necessary pre-operative steps.

  • Medical Clearance:This may include blood tests and other examinations.
  • Lifestyle Adjustments:You may be advised to stop smoking, avoid certain medications like aspirin, and abstain from alcohol to minimize risks.

3. The Surgical Procedure: Meticulous Artistry

Labiaplasty is typically an outpatient procedure, meaning you can return home the same day. It is performed under local or general anesthesia. Dr. Ziai is an expert in the most effective techniques, which include:

  • The Trim Procedure: This is the most common technique, carefully trimming the excess labial tissue to create a smooth, straight border.
  • The Wedge Resection: This technique involves removing a small, V-shaped wedge from the center of the labia, preserving the natural folds and pigmented border.
  • Clitoral Hood Reduction:In some cases, this can be addressed at the same time as labiaplasty to achieve both functional and aesthetic improvements.

The entire procedure is conducted with precision and care, with a focus on preserving the sensitive nerve endings to maintain sensation and function.

Recovery and Results: A New Chapter of Comfort

The post-operative phase is a critical part of your journey. By following our detailed aftercare instructions, you can ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery and achieve the best possible results.
Immediate Post-Op Care:

  • Manage Discomfort: You may experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and cold compresses.
  • Hygiene: You will receive specific instructions on how to keep the area clean to prevent infection.
  • Rest: For the first few days, rest is paramount. Avoid strenuous activity. You should lie down as much as possible with your hips elevated to minimize swelling.

What to Expect During Recovery:

  • First Two Weeks: Initial swelling and bruising will gradually subside. You should wear loose-fitting clothing.
  • Weeks 2-4: Swelling and bruising will significantly decrease. You should feel much more comfortable and be able to resume most of your normal daily activities. Our specialist will advise you when it is safe to re-introduce light exercise.
  • Weeks 4-6: By this time, you should be able to resume all physical activities, including sexual intercourse, with the full clearance of your doctor. The final results will begin to become more apparent as the swelling subsides over the next few months.

It is important to attend all follow-up appointments at New Al Shefa Poly Clinic so our specialist can monitor your healing and ensure everything is progressing as expected.

  • Infection: We use sterile techniques and provide you with post-operative care instructions to prevent infection.

Choosing the Right Professional for Your Labiaplasty

Choosing the right professional for your Labiaplasty in Dubai is the most important decision you will make. It is crucial to choose a surgeon with specialized training and extensive experience. While some plastic surgeons perform this procedure, an experienced cosmetic gynecologist is often the ideal choice. Here’s why:

  • Deep Anatomical Knowledge: A gynecologist’s entire training is centered on the female genital anatomy. This intimate knowledge of the tissues, nerves, and functional aspects of the vulva is unmatched.
  • Focus on Female Health: A gynecologist understands the broader context of female health.
  • Specialization and Experience: Our specialist performs this procedure regularly and has refined her techniques to ensure optimal results.
  • Confidential and Empathetic Environment: We have created a clinic environment where women feel comfortable discussing intimate issues without judgment.
 

We urge you to research and interview potential surgeons. Ask about their experience, their preferred techniques, and their approach to patient care. Your confidence and comfort with your chosen professional are paramount.
