Labia majora augmentation (lipofilling)

description

The aim here is to give more volume to the labia majora.

This procedure restores the sensuality of the vulva by creating a "fuller" aspect, more tonic and younger.

 

Before the procedure

A preoperative check-up is made following your surgeon’s recommendations. An anaesthesiologist will see you in consultation at the latest 48 hours before the operation. It is highly recommended to stop smoking 15 days before and 2 months after the surgery in order to favour fat graft taking. No aspirin-based medication should be taken during the 10 days preceding the operation.

 

The procedure

If the labia majora are too small (hypotrophy) or inexistent (atrophy), they can be thickened with fat cells injection: the technique is called lipofilling or lipostructure. Lipofilling consists in extracting fat cells in some areas with excess fat (stomach, inner thigh, inner knees...) and centrifuging this fat to keep only the good quality material. The fat is injected in the labia majora. It is a natural thickening performed without foreign body.
The fat belonging to the patient, there no rejection risk after fat injection.

The operation is carried out in an ambulatory facility. You can return home on the very same day. The operation lasts 1 hour and is carried out under local anaesthesia with sedation given by intravenous drip or general anaesthesia.

 

After the procedure

The result is immediate, the lips are thickened. The final result can be appreciated 3 months after the operation. The labia majora are full and bulging, the vulva has a younger aspect. 30% maximum of the injected fat can resorb during these 3 months. After this period, the fat remaining is final.
