Tips to Optimize Labiaplasty Aftercare in Dubai ?

 Labiaplasty has gained popularity in recent years. Many patients seek lip reduction surgery because of discomfort from wearing tight clothing or uncertainty about their appearance. Labia correction is performed on an outpatient basis, mostly under local cold conditions. It is generally very well tolerated with high satisfaction rates. 

Here are five tips for optimizing care after labiaplasty Surgery in Dubai:

Precise Incision Care

Incision care is one of the most important aspects of labia minora care.You can shower again the day after the operation. I recommend gently washing the sections with soap and running water for the first two weeks.

 Gently pat the area dry and apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to your underwear. Expect light bleeding as healing begins. This will decrease to light spots in the first few days.

Minimize postoperative activities during labiaplasty care

It is important to avoid exercise, strenuous activity, or lifting more than 5 pounds for one month after labiaplasty. These activity restrictions reduce the risk of bleeding and an increase in swelling at the surgical site. Standing up, the lip wipes are hooked. 

The swelling may worsen if you stand for a long time as healing begins. Even when walking for a long time, increased friction can occur in the incisions.For the first 48 hours, it is important to apply cold compresses while lying down to reduce swelling. This was covered in detail in a recent blog post.

Take prescribed pain medication as directed.

Prescription pain medication may be needed a few days after surgery. Patients are then encouraged to stop taking their prescribed medications and take Tylenol in regular or high-dose forms whenever possible. It is important to take painkillers if discomfort occurs.

Your heart rate and blood pressure increase when you feel pain, which can increase your risk of postoperative bleeding if left uncontrolled. The discomfort is also reduced by the frequent use of cold compresses.

Allow Adequate Recovery Time After Labiaplasty

It is important to allow adequate time after labiaplasty before returning to work or academic assignments. Many patients choose to have a labiaplasty on a Wednesday or Thursday and can usually return to their appropriate office duties the following Monday.Forcing yourself to return to work earlier can affect healing by increasing swelling and the risk of wound-healing complications.

Adequate healing time should be allowed before assessing the cosmetic results.

Although patients often want to assess the cosmetic outcome of a labiaplasty, the goal is for the incision to heal without complications within the first few weeks. It's important to be patient while the incisions heal and the swelling goes down. 

The first results can be seen in the first few weeks after the operation. The final effect is achieved after several months or even up to a year after the end of scar maturation.

I do not recommend taking frequent photos of the area early in the healing process. Photographic placement can add extra tension to the incisions and increase the risk of wound separation.
