Labia Majora Augmentation

The results of labia majora augmentation through fat grafting are permanent. The fat that has been injected will seamlessly integrate into your body and last for years to come.

The amount of fat needed for your labia majora augmentation procedure will largely depend on your goals and the concerns you have regarding your labia. After a consultation, a personalized treatment plan will be created to help achieve your desired results.

Some risks of labial majora augmentation include bruising, bleeding, infection, changes in sensation, and labia asymmetry. If you are experiencing significant bleeding, please contact your provider immediately.

With labia fat grafting you will experience longer-lasting results than with rejuvenation using dermal filler. Labia fat grafting also carries a smaller risk of reaction than labia puffing done with dermal filler.

Labia majora fat grafting, also known as autologous fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the volume, shape, symmetry, and contour of the labia majora. Fat cells are harvested from areas such as the abdomen or thighs using liposuction and then injected into the labia majora (outer labia) or, in some cases, the labia minora (inner labia).

Women who opt for labia fat grafting typically do so to address volume loss, age-related changes, or to restore the appearance and function of the labia after childbirth. Good candidates should have sufficient fat deposits in areas like the abdomen or thighs for harvesting. Additionally, they must be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking, as smoking can negatively impact fat cell survival and overall healing.

Labia fat grafting is performed under either general or local anesthesia. First, liposuction is used to harvest fat cells from donor areas such as the abdomen or thighs. The harvested fat is then processed and purified before being carefully injected into the labia using a fine needle.

After the procedure, patients can expect mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort at both the donor and injection sites. Pain medication and cold compresses can help alleviate discomfort. Most patients are able to return to work and light activities within 1–2 weeks; however, sexual intercourse and strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least six weeks. The transplanted fat typically stabilizes over 3–6 months, revealing the final volume and shape.

It is important to note that labia fat grafting provides subtle, natural-looking results. However, some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time. To maintain optimal results, some patients may require repeat procedures in the future.

People who opt for labia majora augmentation often do so to rejuvenate the appearance of the labia majora and increase their confidence and self-esteem.

Labia majora augmentation is performed under local or general anesthesia and begins with harvesting fat from one area of the body and then injecting the fat into the labia majora.

The recovery process for labia majora augmentation is typically 10-14 days, but you will need to wait about six weeks before you return to all normal activity including vigorous exercise, swimming, and sexual activity.

It is expected that approximately 30% of the injected volume will be reabsorbed by the body in the first three months after your procedure. The final results of a fat grafting are often not appreciable until six months when the remaining fat develops new blood supply.
