Labia Fat Transfer

Fat transfer is a very useful adjunctive procedure for volumisation and contouring in cosmetic surgery and it is gaining increasing popularity as the regenerative benefits are also being recognised. 

Whilst the original technique was originally popularised by Sydney Coleman in New York (also called lipo-filling or lipostructure) for use in the face, as mentioned elsewhere on this site, it has found a role in volumising the breast and other areas too. In the world of 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 this fat transfer 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.

FAT TRANSFER FOR LABIA MAJORA ENHANCEMENT (LABIAL PUFF)

Fat transfer for 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.
