Labiaplasty by Lipofilling
Labiaplasty In Dubai
Labiaplasty by lipofilling is a specialized cosmetic procedure that combines labiaplasty, which reshapes and reduces the size of the labia, with lipofilling, a fat transfer technique to restore volume and enhance symmetry. This treatment is ideal for women who seek to rejuvenate their intimate areas for aesthetic or functional reasons, such as discomfort during physical activities or dissatisfaction with the appearance of their labia. At Cocoona Clinic, we offer a personalized approach to labiaplasty by lipofilling, ensuring that each patient’s unique needs are met with precision and care.
The procedure uses the patient’s own fat, typically harvested from areas like the thighs or abdomen, to enhance the labia, ensuring natural-looking results. Whether the goal is to correct asymmetry, add volume, or enhance the overall appearance of the intimate area, this minimally invasive procedure offers a safe and effective solution. Additionally, labiaplasty by lipofilling can address functional concerns, improving comfort during exercise, intercourse, and daily activities.
Procedure Overview
Labiaplasty by lipofilling involves several key steps:
Consultation: During your consultation at Cocoona Clinic, your surgeon will assess your goals and medical history. This helps determine the best approach for the procedure, ensuring a personalized treatment plan.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia may be used, depending on the extent of the procedure and your comfort level.
Fat Harvesting: The procedure begins with liposuction to harvest fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips. The fat is purified and prepared for transfer.
Labiaplasty: The labiaplasty portion of the procedure involves trimming excess skin from the labia to achieve the desired shape and size.
Fat Transfer: The purified fat is then carefully injected into the labia to add volume, enhance symmetry, and create a more youthful appearance.
Closure: The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, and a compression garment may be applied to aid in recovery.
Preparation Before Surgery
Preparing for labiaplasty by lipofilling is essential for a smooth procedure and recovery:
Medical Evaluation: You will undergo a complete medical evaluation, including blood tests, to ensure that you are fit for surgery.
Medication Management: Avoid blood thinners and anti-inflammatory medications at least two weeks before surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding.
Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial. Stop smoking and avoid alcohol to promote better healing. A well-balanced diet and hydration will aid in the recovery process.
Fasting: If general anesthesia is required, you will need to fast for several hours before the surgery. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions on this.

The surgical process for labiaplasty by lipofilling at Cocoona Clinic is as follows:
Anesthesia: You will be under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Fat Harvesting and Purification: The surgeon will extract fat from a predetermined donor area using liposuction. This fat is then processed and purified for transfer.

Lipofilling: The purified fat is injected into the labia to add volume, enhance symmetry, and create a natural-looking result. This step is performed with precision to ensure long-lasting outcomes.
Incision Closure: The incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches, minimizing visible scarring.
Aftercare and Safety Guidelines
Post-operative care is vital for optimal healing after labiaplasty by lipofilling:
Hygiene: Keep the surgical area clean and dry to prevent infection. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions on how to care for the area.
Compression Garments: You may be advised to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the healing process.
Avoid Physical Activities: Refrain from intense physical activities, including sexual intercourse and strenuous exercise, for at least four to six weeks after surgery.
Medications: You will be prescribed antibiotics and pain relievers to prevent infection and manage discomfort. Follow your surgeon’s dosage recommendations carefully.
Follow-Up Visits: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure the best possible results.
Recovery Period
The recovery process for labiaplasty by lipofilling varies depending on individual factors, but here’s a general timeline:
First Week: You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but these symptoms will gradually improve. Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation.
Two to Four Weeks: Swelling will start to subside, and you will begin to notice the initial results. Most patients can return to work after two weeks, but strenuous activities should still be avoided.
Full Recovery: Complete recovery can take several months, during which the final results will become more apparent. Your surgeon will provide guidance on when it’s safe to resume all activities.
FAQs
Labiaplasty focuses on reshaping and reducing the size of the labia, while labiaplasty by lipofilling adds volume by transferring fat from other areas of the body. This combined approach enhances both shape and fullness.
Fat transfer results are generally long-lasting, but not all of the transferred fat will survive. Typically, around 60-80% of the fat remains permanently, providing a lasting enhancement.
Discomfort is usually mild and can be managed with prescribed pain relievers. Any post-operative pain generally subsides within a few days to a week.
It is recommended to avoid sexual activity for at least four to six weeks to allow proper healing and prevent complications.
