What is labia majora filler?
The labia majora filler procedure is performed to correct the aesthetics of the labia, caused by a lack of fat that can cause a less aesthetic and unpleasant appearance for the patient. In addition, it also improves genital functionality.
The results of the intervention are very beneficial and help women feel better about themselves. In addition, it rehydrates the skin, eliminates itching and recovers protection against possible infections.
Why is it performed?
The procedure is performed on women who do not like the appearance of their lips, due to a lack of fat.
On the other hand, it is also performed in patients who suffer from vaginal atrophy, a pathology that especially affects the fat of the labia majora. This may occur due to advanced age, menopause or multiple childbirths, among others.
In addition to the older appearance, the functional effect is also impaired, since the entrance of the vagina loses the protective function of the labia majora, becoming more exposed and causing:
- Increased vaginal dryness
- Discomfort during sexual intercourse
- Modifying the vaginal pH
- Increased risk of infection
The intervention improves the aesthetic and functional aspect of the labia majora.
What does it consist of?
In the technique, cross-linked hyaluronic acid is applied to provide volume to the labia majora until the desired result is achieved, recovering the aesthetic and functional aspect.
The treatment is very simple, being performed in consultation and applying local anesthesia in the lingual area, so as not to cause any pain to the patient. It lasts approximately twenty minutes and can be combined with other intimate surgery procedures.
Preparation for labia majora filler
No previous preparation is necessary, since it is a simple procedure that is performed in the doctor’s office.
Care after the procedure
Once the hyaluronic acid has been applied, it is possible to appreciate the restoration of the volume of the labia, which will improve over the days until the final result. The intervention does not require any special care, only to avoid sexual intercourse during the first seven days and avoid long baths in the first two weeks.
The effect of the treatment usually lasts for about a year (between ten and twelve months).
Alternatives to this treatment
There are several alternative options to labia majora filler with hyaluronic acid, such as labiaplasty. This surgical option is indicated in more extreme cases, with a lot of excess skin.
It is also possible to use the patient’s own autologous fat with similar results to the hyaluronic acid augmentation. Depending on each particular case, the specialist will be able to recommend which option is more advisable.
