Labia Majora Augmentation: Restoring Youthful Volume and Contour

At the Intimate Wellness Institute of Virginia, we believe that feeling whole, confident, and comfortable in your body is a vital part of your well-being. Over time, it is natural for a woman’s body to change. If you have noticed a loss of firmness or volume in the outer vaginal lips (labia majora) and feel self-conscious about it, we want you to know that you are not alone, and there are safe, effective solutions available. Our mission is to provide expert and compassionate care to help you restore a more youthful appearance and the confidence you deserve.

Understanding Changes to the Labia Majora

The labia majora are the outer folds of skin that frame the vaginal opening, providing natural cushioning and protection. In youth, these folds are typically full and firm due to a healthy underlying fat pad and strong, elastic skin.

However, the natural processes of aging, significant weight changes, pregnancy, and childbirth can lead to changes in this delicate area. The supportive fat pad can diminish (a process called atrophy), and the skin can lose its collagen and elastin. This often results in a deflated, wrinkled, or sagging appearance of the labia majora, which can cause some women to feel self-conscious, especially in tight clothing or intimate situations.

Restoring Youthful Contours: What is Labia Majora Augmentation?

Labia Majora Augmentation, sometimes referred to as “Labial Puffing,” is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure designed to address these concerns. It works by carefully and skillfully replenishing lost volume to the outer labia, giving them a fuller, smoother, and more youthful appearance. This procedure can be performed on its own or as a key component of a comprehensive Vaginal Rejuvenation program to achieve overall revitalization.

Your Augmentation Options at IWI: A Personalized Approach

At IWI, we offer a suite of the most advanced and effective options available today in 2025. Dr. Guerette will consult with you to determine the ideal approach to meet your specific goals. All of these are comfortable, office-based procedures.

1. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers This popular option uses biocompatible dermal fillers (such as those in the Juvéderm® or Restylane® families) to provide instant volume.

• The Process: After a topical numbing cream is applied for your comfort, Dr. Guerette skillfully injects the smooth HA gel into different layers of the labia majora. This technique ensures an even, natural-looking fullness.
• The Benefit: The results are immediately visible, and there is minimal to no recovery time.

2. Autologous Fat Transfer

This procedure uses your body’s own natural fat to restore volume for a longer-lasting result.

• The Process: This involves two simple steps. First, Dr. Guerette performs a gentle mini-liposuction to harvest a small amount of fat from another area, such as the abdomen or thighs. This fat is then purified and carefully injected into the labia majora. Because the fat is your own tissue, it is naturally accepted by your body.
• The Benefit: This is an excellent choice for women who desire a more permanent solution and may also wish to have a small amount of fat removed from a “trouble spot.”

3. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy This advanced regenerative treatment uses the powerful growth factors from your own blood to naturally rejuvenate tissue.

• The Process: A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors into PRP. This PRP is then injected into the labia majora to stimulate new collagen growth, improve skin quality, and provide a subtle, natural-looking volume.
• The Benefit: This is a very cost-effective and natural approach. While it can be used alone, PRP is also frequently added to HA filler or fat transfer procedures to enhance healing and maximize the final results.

Note: Trial Augmentation Available!

To ensure you feel completely confident in your decision, Dr. Guerette offers a temporary saline trial. He can skillfully perform a simple saline injection to replicate the look of an augmentation, allowing you to preview your potential results. A small fee for this trial is fully credited to your final procedure if you decide to proceed.

The IWI Advantage: Experience & Expertise

Labia Majora Augmentation is more than a technical injection – it’s a science. Dr. Guerette’s profound understanding of female anatomy and his experience are critical to achieving a beautiful outcome. He ensures that volume is restored in a way that looks balanced and entirely natural… never overfilled. This approach is a hallmark of the care you receive at IWI.

Your Recovery and Results

Your recovery will be brief and managed with our team’s full support.

• You may experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days.
• With fillers or PRP, you can return to daily activities immediately. After a fat transfer, we recommend taking it easy for about two days.
• We advise avoiding sitting for very long periods for about one week to ensure the best results.

Enhancing Your Results with Combination Therapy

At IWI, we believe in a holistic approach. The most advanced IWI treatments often work best in combination to address all aspects of your concerns. Labia Majora Augmentation is very commonly combined with other treatments, such as laser skin tightening of the labia or a Labiaplasty of the inner lips, to create the most comprehensive and beautiful aesthetic outcome. Dr. Guerette and the IWI team will discuss these options with you to develop your fully individualized treatment plan.
