Labial Fat Transfer
Restore fullness and symmetry to the labia using your body’s natural fat for a youthful appearance.
Labial Fat Transfer
Labial fat transfer or Labial Rejuvenation, is a cosmetic procedure designed to restore volume and enhance the appearance of the labia majora (outer vaginal lips). Over time, factors such as aging, weight loss, or childbirth can lead to a loss of fullness in the labia, resulting in a deflated or sagging appearance. This procedure uses your own body fat, harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs, to naturally enhance and rejuvenate the labia, providing a fuller, more youthful look.
What Labial Fat Transfer Can Achieve
- Restores lost volume for a fuller, youthful appearance.
- Improves skin texture and reduces wrinkling.
- Enhances symmetry of the labia majora.
- Provides a natural feel (using your own fat).
- Long-lasting results compared to fillers.
Who is a Good Candidate?
- Women with loss of volume or sagging in the labia majora.
- Those experiencing wrinkling, thinning, or deflation due to aging or weight loss.
- Individuals seeking a natural alternative to dermal fillers.
- Women who desire enhanced intimate comfort (fat can provide mild cushioning).
Recovery Timeline
- Mild swelling and tenderness for the first 1-2 weeks.
- Most patients return to light activities within a few days.
- Avoid sexual activity, tight clothing, and intense exercise for 4-6 weeks.
- Final results appear in 3-6 months as swelling subsides and fat stabilizes.
Procedure Overview
- Performed under local or general anesthesia.
- Fat is harvested via liposuction from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.
- The fat is purified and processed before injection.
- Small amounts of fat are carefully injected into the labia majora to restore volume.
- The procedure takes about 1-2 hours.
Three key benefits of Labial Fat Transfer
Natural rejuvenation
Uses your own purified fat to restore volume to the labia majora, smoothing wrinkles and delivering a soft, natural feel—no implants.
Comfort & confidence
Added cushioning can help reduce chafing and the visibility of hollowing in swimwear or leggings, improving everyday comfort.
Minimal scarring, tailored results
Performed through tiny incisions with volume and symmetry customized to your goals; can be combined with labiaplasty when appropriate.

FAQ'S
Who is a good candidate?
Adults with labia majora deflation from aging, weight changes, or childbirth who want a natural-looking fullness using their own fat. Ideal candidates are nonsmokers (or willing to stop), at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations.
How is the procedure performed and what anesthesia is used?
A small amount of fat is harvested (often from the abdomen, flanks, or inner thighs), purified, and micro-injected in thin layers into the labia majora for smooth, even contour. It’s typically done under local anesthesia with light sedation (or general, if combined procedures) and takes about 45–90 minutes as an outpatient.
What is recovery like and when can I resume intimacy/exercise?
Expect swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks with mild to moderate soreness at both donor and graft sites. Most patients resume light activities in 2–3 days and desk work in 3–5 days. Wear loose clothing, avoid heat/cycling, and follow hygiene instructions. Intimacy and tampon use are usually delayed 3–4 weeks (sometimes 4–6 weeks, per surgeon guidance). A compression garment may be worn on donor areas for 3–4 weeks.
Is it safe and will it affect sensation or sexual function?
When performed by an experienced, board-certified surgeon using micro-droplet techniques, labial fat transfer is generally safe. Risks include infection, asymmetry, oil cysts, over/under-correction, or need for touch-up. The labia majora are not primary sensory structures, so changes in sexual sensation are uncommon; your surgeon will review personalized risks and safeguards.
How long do results last and will I need a touch-up?
Typically 50–70% of transferred fat survives long-term; the remainder is absorbed naturally. Shape stabilizes over 3 months, and results can last years with weight stability. A touch-up may be recommended to refine volume or symmetry, especially if you desire a fuller look.
