Augmentation of the External Genitalia through Lipofilling
Lipofilling of the Labia: Aesthetic Surgical Procedure
Lipofilling of the labia is an aesthetic surgical procedure in which autologous fat tissue is harvested from another region of the body and used for volume correction or enhancement of the labia. Liposuction is typically performed to obtain the fat tissue, which is then processed and injected into the labia.
The Procedure
- Consultation: A thorough consultation is conducted to understand the patient's concerns and evaluate the suitability of the procedure.
- Preparation: The treatment area and the area where the fat will be harvested are cleaned and numbed using local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
- Fat Harvesting: Fat tissue is harvested from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using a liposuction technique.
- Processing the Fat: The harvested fat is then processed and purified to remove impurities and prepare it for injection.
- Injection: The purified fat is carefully injected into the labia to achieve the desired volume and shape.
- Completion: Once the fat is injected and the desired result is achieved, the procedure is complete, and the patient can usually return home the same day.
The entire procedure is minimally invasive and usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes. The results include improved labial volume and shape, enhancing both the aesthetic appearance and comfort.
Benefits of Lipofilling for Labia Augmentation
- Natural Results: Uses the patient's own fat, which integrates well with the existing tissues, providing a natural look and feel.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure is minimally invasive, with small incisions required for fat harvesting and injection.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure, with minimal downtime.
- Long-Lasting: The results are long-lasting, as the fat tissue provides a permanent enhancement once it integrates into the surrounding tissues.
By addressing these intimate concerns, lipofilling for labia augmentation aims to improve the overall quality of life, confidence, and comfort of women.
