Fat grafting is a cosmetic treatment to add volume to the small labia majora and create a younger looking and improved appearance. Normal ageing, diminished collagen creation, pregnancy, genetics or labour - regardless of the reason, small labia majora can be corrected with this specific technique of fat grafting.
There is normally around 1 week of recuperation time following labia augmentation with fat transfer. Bruising and swelling will settle within this time with the help of ice packs. Most patients return to work within a couple of days and the patients are encouraged to keep away from sexual activities and strenuous activity for as long as about a month and a half.
Vaginal skin rejuvenation using the method of transfer of fat that makes use of fat grafting technique to improve the appearance of the vaginal region. Lasting for about 2 hours, the procedure will begin by first numbing the treatment area using either local or general anesthesia. Fat grafting technique typically involves three steps;
- Removal of fat (usually using liposuction method): The fat cells are collected from a particular region of the body with overabundant fat, for instance, from the mid-section, buttocks, thighs, as well as the hips. To do this, tiny incisions are made on the skin, after which a thin tube is used to suction out small units of fat. The incisions are usually closed back with sutures.
- Preparation of fat: A specifically curated medical device will be used to split up the fat harvested from blood or any other fluids injecting the fat.
- Injection of fat: The harvested fat is then sanitised for cautious reinjection into the area of treatment. Once the fat is injected on the labia, there will be no need for any stitches.
