Labiaplasty Surgery in Dubai
Labiaplasty Surgery in Dubai, a surgical procedure gaining prominence in cosmetic and reconstructive gynaecology, addresses concerns related to the size, shape, and symmetry of the skin surrounding the vaginal opening.
This sought-after option allows individuals to boost their visual appeal and overall comfort, fostering a renewed sense of confidence.
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty or vulval surgery is a surgical procedure that involves the alteration or reduction of the labia minora (the inner folds of skin around the opening of the vagina) or the labia majora (the outer folds).
Labiaplasty aims to reshape or reduce the labia size for cosmetic reasons or to address discomfort or functional issues.
Why Would Someone Undergo Labiaplasty Surgery in Dubai?
- Cosmetic concerns: Some individuals may be dissatisfied with the appearance of their labia and seek labiaplasty to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing or symmetrical look.
- Discomfort or irritation: Enlarged or elongated labia minora can lead to discomfort or irritation during physical activities, such as exercise or sexual intercourse. Labiaplasty can be performed to alleviate these symptoms.
- Genital asymmetry: Some individuals may have naturally asymmetrical labia, and labiaplasty can address this asymmetry.
What Happens Before Labiaplasty Surgery?
Consultation:
The initial steps in preparing for labiaplasty surgery involve a thorough discussion between you and our surgeon, Dr Frank Conroy. The patient discusses their concerns, goals, and expectations during this consultation.
Presurgical Tests:
Before the surgery, you may undergo presurgical tests, including blood work, urinalysis, and a chest X-ray.
Additional Preoperative Information:
Our surgical team will provide instructions on how to prepare, which may include avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and refraining from eating or drinking for a specified period before the surgery.
What Happens During Labiaplasty Surgery?
Labiaplasty Surgery can be conducted under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, and the choice depends on the procedure’s complexity and the patient’s preferences.
Dr Frank Conroy the Labiaplasty Surgeon makes incisions to remove excess tissue and reshape the labia according to the desired outcome. The specific technique used may vary, and there are different approaches to labiaplasty:
Reduction procedures:
- Trim procedure trims excess labia minora tissue to align with the labia majora.
- The wedge procedure removes a wedge-shaped section, maintaining a natural appearance.
Enlarging procedure:
- To enhance labia majora size, Dr Frank can transfer fat from areas like the abdomen or thigh through liposuction and inject it into the labia majora.
- Alternatively, hyaluronic acid injections offer a non-surgical option for augmentation.
After making the necessary adjustments, Dr Frank uses dissolvable sutures to close the incision
Recovery:
A recovery period of up to two weeks may be necessary, with complete skin healing taking a few months.
Throughout this period, it is essential to:
- Wear loose clothing to minimise friction and excessive pain.
- Keep the area clean and free from infection.
- Alleviate soreness through salt or sitz baths.
- Avoid exercise and rigorous activities.
- Abstain from using tampons and practising sex for at least 4-6 weeks.

- Removing too much tissue or not enough tissue
- Bleeding
- Bruising
- Infection
- Wound breakdown
- Scarring

FAQ
Labiaplasty aims to reshape or reduce the size of the labia minora or majora, enhancing aesthetics and comfort and addressing potential discomfort or irritation.
While discomfort is expected during the recovery period, the procedure itself is performed under anaesthesia to minimise pain. Patients may experience soreness and swelling postoperatively, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications.
While labiaplasty is generally considered safe, like any surgical procedure, it comes with potential risks such as infection, bleeding, scarring, and changes in sensation. Opting for a skilled surgeon and adhering to postoperative care instructions are vital for a successful outcome.
