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 made to feel at ease with everything. Nothing was too much, lots of care and thought. Pain was very minimal. Lots of follow up care which was first class. I got exactly what I wanted, I have a lovely new look which I could not achieve on my own. If something is bothering you and you can not get to your goal there is help. I had an excellent experience.
I realised initially that surgery was my only option. Initially hesitant about surgery I accepted Mr Banwell’s advice and counselling. I am impressed with his expertise surgically combined with his caring attitude to patients like me. I would recommend him highly without any hesitation. He inspires confidence.
After deciding to go down the surgery route I contact Mr Banwell’s team and was dealt with quickly and efficiently but most of all everyone was so friendly and helpful which put me at ease. The care from start to finish and still on-going was 110% and everyone who I dealt with was fantastic. Mr Banwell was always professional and friendly and put me at ease from the very beginning. I am so pleased with my results and putting myself in Mr Banwell’s care was the best thing I could have done. It has completely changed my life and I can’t thank you all enough. I have already recommended you to my aunty! Thanks again.
From initial consultation right through to arrival for surgery and the subsequent aftercare, I have found the level of courtesy, understanding and professionalism of yourself and your team (both medical and administrative) to have been exemplary. So please accept my heartfelt thanks for accepting me as a patient and for your surgical expertise which has made such a positive difference in so many aspects of my life.
Now that I have been ‘signed off’ I just want to thank you so much for all your care, expertise and advice. I am so happy with the result of my surgery; it has bought back a confidence which I had lost, and enabled me to wear clothes which previously wouldn’t have suited me. I will know where to come if I decide I need anything else improved!
We just wanted to say a big thanks you again to you and your team for making our experience so much better than we could have ever imagined. You and your team were so professional and friendly which really put us at ease from our very first appointment. This definitely gave us the confidence to finally have the surgery we’ve wanted for such a long time. We’re both extremely happy with the results. Thanks again.
