Female genital aesthetics includes procedures that address both visual and functional needs. One of the most modern and natural methods in this field is genital lip fat injection. This procedure is applied to the outer genital lips (labium majus), which lose volume over time due to age, childbirth, or genetic factors. The patient’s own body fat is used, providing both aesthetic and protective benefits.
Genital lip fat injection is the process of injecting fat taken from another part of the patient’s body (usually the abdomen or waist area) into the outer genital lips. With this application:
The lips gain fullness and volume,
Depressions, wrinkles, and sagging caused by time are corrected,
The genital area acquires a younger and healthier appearance,
The sensitivity and protection of the vaginal area may increase.
Genital lip fat injection is often preferred in the following cases:
Loss of volume in the lips after childbirth
Sagging or wrinkling of the lips due to aging
Genetically thin or asymmetrical outer lips
Chronic irritation or sensitivity in the vaginal area (for protective tissue support)
Supportive aesthetic purposes after labioplasty
This procedure is important not only for aesthetics but also for protecting the subcutaneous tissue. The volume in the outer lips helps protect the inner genital area from external factors.
Fat Removal (Liposuction): In the first step, fat is removed from the patient’s body (usually abdomen, waist, or thigh) using appropriate methods.
Fat Processing: The removed fat is purified with special techniques and prepared for injection.
Injection: The prepared fat is injected symmetrically into the outer genital lips.
Recovery: The patient is usually discharged on the same day after the procedure. Mild swelling and sensitivity may last for a few days.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes 30-60 minutes. The patient can return to daily life shortly after.
It is a natural method: No foreign substances are introduced into the body.
Provides long-lasting results: A significant portion of the injected fat remains permanent.
Fast recovery time: Patients can usually be discharged the same day.
Both aesthetic and protective effects: It aims to improve appearance as well as protect internal structures.
About 60-70% of the injected fat remains permanent. Some amount may be absorbed within the first few months. Therefore, in some cases, touch-up injections may be necessary 6-12 months later. However, it is an effective and safe procedure in the long term.
The procedure may not be recommended in the following cases:
Presence of active vaginal infection
Tissue problems in the area where fat will be taken
Serious systemic diseases
Bleeding or clotting disorders
Pregnancy or breastfeeding period
Each patient should be evaluated individually. Unsuitable cases are determined by the specialist physician.
