Labia Fat transfer is a very useful adjunctive procedure for volumisation and contouring in aesthetic gynaecology and female genital cosmetic surgery, it is also increasingly popular for patients to ask for ‘puffing’ up the labia majora to give a more youthful appearance to the outer lips or labia majora.
The down-time for fat transfer to labia procedure is generally very short and most people on average can return to work anywhere between one to seven days later depending on whether one or more procedures has been performed and the size of the donor site harvesting. Light activities can be resumed according to patient comfort. Normal activities can usually be resumed after a couple days (except heavy exercise) – Mr Banwell and his team will be able to give further information.
Labia majora enhancement is a fairly simple forward procedure to perform technically. Fat may be harvested from a donor site (usually abdomen or outer thighs)and then injected into the outer labia (‘outer’ lips or labia majora) with microcannulae. As with all fat transfer, it relies on the fat grafts to survive by developing a new blood supply in the recipient site (in this case the labia majora). Over correction is usually recommended as there is a degree of absorption after this procedure so please feel free to ask Mr Banwell or his team for further information on these indications.
The cost of labial fat transfer comprises the surgical fee, the hospital fee and the anaesthetic fee (if applicable). Mr Banwell’s team would be happy to provide package price estimates (which may differ slightly depending on the hospital and anaesthetic costs). Please feel free to call the clinic on 01342 330302 or email help@paulebanwell.com
Mr Banwell is also happy to perform labial fat transfer in his Harley Street Clinic. If surgery in London is more convenient please do let the team know and they would be happy to book surgery for you and provide an estimate of costs for Harley Street.
Please contact Mr Banwell's office on 01342 330302 or email help@paulebanwell.com for further information.
Mr Banwell recommends that the majority of this kind of surgery is best performed under a general anaesthetic undertaken by a specialist anaesthetist.
Usually the operation is performed as a day case. Most people report that discomfort and swelling in the first few days are minor. Paracetamol is usually all that is required for pain relief.. It is necessary to take things easy for the first few days and sleep on your back. Mr Banwell, the hospital nurses and Mr Banwell’s team would be delighted to be of help.
There are both general and specific risks and Mr Banwell will talk to you in detail regarding the risks and where they stem from. General risks include bruising and swelling, bleeding, wound infection, problems with general anaesthetics. Specific risks include uneven or asymmetrical results, including lumpiness and dimpling, skin discolouration, loss of sensation (temporary loss of sensation almost always occurs and recovers after some months) and the need for repeat procedures. Fat does absorb so further procedures may be required.
I was very happy with the care during the surgery and the team were friendly and efficient. I was very happy with the outcome of the surgery and I would recommend Mr Banwell to others.
I am delighted!! Mr Banwell listened to what I wanted and now I have fuller breast that don’t look false! I would highly recommend him and his team to everyone. They are all very friendly and the care I received before, during and after was excellent and very professional. Many thanks to you all.
Mr Banwell exceeded all expectation as did his team. Excellent communication and explanation of all procedures. 100% punctual, 100% attentive. The operation was a stunning success and virtually invisible. The whole process of dealing with Paul and the team has been so simple and easy. Options and operational procedures were explained and executed superbly. A total professional and perfectionist who demonstrates great skill, care and knowledge. I would have no hesitation to recommend Paul Banwell. Quite simply, if you want the best, Paul is it!
During the time I have been in the care of Paul and the team I have been treated extremely well and very professionally, I could not have asked for better care. Paul was extremely caring and considerate throughout this time and has put me at ease during any procedures that I have had carried out. I trust his judgement completely and recommended Paul to a close family member who had a similar problem.
I had my brachioplasty in May and the surgery was very successful. The cosmetic appearance was quickly noticeable, with no complications arising from the procedure. I would certainly recommend Mr Paul Banwell and his team to all my friends, as they were extremely helpful and friendly.
Mr Banwell was highly recommended by a friend of a friend. She was very satisfied with results which I witnessed. I trusted what I heard and what I saw. My meetings with Mr Banwell only reassured me further. Mr Banwell offered additional discussion time pre op & several follow ups post op. His admin team were 100% helpful and efficient. His manner was approachable and accessible. I would not hesitate to recommend his professional expertise, competitive cost and charming manner. At no point did I feel judged, intimidated or overwhelmed. This was an incredibly positive experience, many thanks to Mr Banwell and the rest of the team.
