Who is this procedure for?
This procedure is intended for patients with flat, wrinkled, or deflated labia majora.
Age-related atrophy, weight fluctuations, or a constitutional predisposition may prompt the request.
Some patients report aesthetic concerns, sometimes associated with daily functional discomfort.
A clinical examination helps assess the skin quality, the initial volume, and the presence of sufficient fatty tissue.
Consultation Process
Consultations allow us to analyze your request, your medical history, and your realistic expectations.
An intimate examination clarifies the indications and checks for any contraindications.
Possible harvesting sites are identified based on your morphology.
A personalized quote will be provided after detailed explanations of the technique and post-operative care.
Preparation and Pre-operative Examinations
A comprehensive clinical evaluation precedes any surgical planning.
A pre-operative assessment may be required depending on the planned anesthesia.
Smoking cessation is generally recommended before and after the procedure to promote fat graft survival.
Anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications must be disclosed and potentially discontinued as per medical advice.
The technical modalities, the injected volume, and the expected outcomes are explained before any final decision.
The Procedure in Practice
The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, local anesthesia with sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the context.
The surgical duration is usually between 30 and 60 minutes.
The procedure is most often performed on an outpatient basis, with discharge on the same day if the patient’s condition allows.
Technical Principles
Fat is harvested using micro-cannulas, then processed by centrifugation or decantation.
Only good quality fat cells are retained for reinjection.
The reinjection is performed progressively and evenly to optimize graft survival.
Micro-incisions are used, leaving no visible scars in the intimate area.
Post-operative Care
The post-operative period is usually mild.
Swelling and bruising may occur and last for one to two weeks.
Simple pain relievers are generally sufficient to manage discomfort.
Appropriate intimate hygiene is recommended during the initial phase.
A return to daily activities is possible quickly, while sexual intercourse is usually deferred for several weeks.
A post-operative follow-up is scheduled to monitor progress.
Results and Scars
The achieved volume is immediately apparent but remains temporarily increased due to swelling.
A partial resorption of the injected fat may occur in the first few weeks.
The stabilized result is generally appreciated after three months.
The labia majora then appear fuller, more toned, and more harmonious.
The scars are virtually invisible, limited to the harvesting sites.
Risks and Possible Complications
Like any surgical procedure, this technique carries potential risks.
These may include infection, asymmetry, more significant fat resorption, or volume irregularities.
Secondary touch-ups may sometimes be considered if the achieved volume remains insufficient.
Severe complications remain rare, provided the indication is correctly established and follow-up is appropriate.
Fees and Coverage
Labia majora lipofilling is considered an aesthetic procedure.
Reimbursement by health insurance is not typically provided.
The fee depends on the volume of fat injected, any associated procedures, and the anesthesia methods.
An indicative price range can only be provided after a consultation, based on a personalized quote.
