Labia Majora Fat Transfer in Houston, TX

You should expect to be awake and comfortable during this simple procedure. In most cases, you will be able to drive yourself to and from the appointment if you wish. Depending on whether you are having a labia fat transfer as part of a full vaginal rejuvenation or in combination with other procedures, Dr. Do and his team will give you detailed guidance specific to your procedure.

For a simple labial puffing, the process will involve:

• Liposuction to harvest healthy fat to transfer to the labia majora
• This fat (or dermal filler substitute) is then inserted into the outer vaginal lips
• By carefully adding volume where needed, the desired shape and fullness are achieved
• The outpatient procedure will take approximately one hour to complete
• The results will be immediately visible

After having a fat transfer to the labia majora, you should expect only mild swelling and redness, which should go away within one to two weeks after the procedure. If your labia puff was combined with a labia majora reduction, clitoral hood reduction, or another vaginal rejuvenation procedure, you may have a longer recovery time, but in general, this area of the body has excellent circulation and heals quickly.

• You may return to non-physical work in 72 hours
• You should avoid sexual intercourse for at least one week
• Return to normal activities in one to two weeks
• Avoid soaking in bathtubs, pools, or hot tubs for three to four weeks
• Put off vigorous exercise and strenuous activities for four to six weeks

Fat transfers to the labia majora can last for many years. Increasing the volume using dermal fillers will not last as long as a fat grafting procedure and may need annual touchups. If needed, you can safely have this procedure done again as you age or after pregnancy.

You should have little to no scarring from the liposuction and the labia majora fat transfer procedure. The tiny incisions are placed in inconspicuous areas and are typically small enough to be closed with a single stitch.

The risks associated with this procedure are very small. Because your own fat is used, there is little risk of rejection. As with all procedures of this type, there is a slight risk of infection. Choosing an experienced and respected cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Do is a key factor in avoiding complications and having a natural and beautiful-looking result.

No, women of all ages might choose this procedure to improve the volume and fullness of their outer vaginal area. Due to genetics, drastic weight loss, or personal preference, many young women are interested in a labia puff procedure. It is also a great solution for women as they age and naturally lose fat deposits and fullness in this area.

You can schedule a labia fat transfer procedure about six months after childbirth. Waiting allows your body to fully recover. You can also become pregnant after a labia fat transfer, although this may alter your results, and you may need to have another procedure to restore the shape and size of your labia.

Yes, you can have this procedure done along with a labiaplasty or labial reduction, liposuction, or most other vaginal rejuvenation options we offer. You may even choose a full mommy makeover with a breast lift and tummy tuck. Our consultants will help you decide the right order and combinations to achieve the best results with multiple procedures.
