Labia Majora Augmentation
What is Labia Majora Augmentation Surgery?
Labia Majora Augmentation surgery is designed to increase the size and enhance the shape of the labia majora, the larger, outer fold of the vulva. The procedure is also done to correct any proportional imbalances, and improve firmness.
The procedure is usually done using fat grafting from your own body via liposuction. The fat is taken from a donor site, usually your abdomen or thigh area, and then reinjected to the labia majora. Another option is Hyaluronic Acid fillers, but they’re only temporary and would need to be repeated.
