When is Volume Enhancement to the Labia Majora Needed?
After menopause or hormonal changes, some women may experience atrophy and loss of volume in the labia majora and sometimes mons pubis. This can also happen in massive weight loss patients. This can result in excess loose, wrinkled appearing skin or imbalance between the labia majora and minor with the appearance of enlarged labia minora. There is also a functional component to this problem as women become uncomfortable with activities that have friction in this region (riding motorcycles, horses, or sexual intercourse, for example) because of the lack of padding the labia majora and mons pubis provide. In these patients, a volume enhancement is often needed.
What are some Procedure Options
Volume enhancement can be done under local anesthesia or under general in combination with other procedures.
Dermal Filler Volume Enhancement
Enhancing the labia majora's volume can be achieved using a variety of dermal fillers, most commonly hyaluronic acid-based fillers. These fillers provide temporary results by adding subtle volume, improving the appearance of deflated or thinning tissue, and restoring a more youthful look to the area. This non-surgical procedure offers a quick, minimally invasive solution with results lasting several months, depending on the type of filler used.
Fat Grafting- To Enhance Labia Majora
A more permanent solution for enhancing the volume of the labia majora is fat grafting. This procedure involves harvesting fat through liposuction from unwanted areas and carefully transferring it to the labia majora and/or mons pubis using small needles. Fat grafting provides natural-looking, long-lasting results by restoring volume and contour, using your own body’s fat to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of the intimate area.
