​​This indication for dermal filler injections is not yet FDA-approved.

Filler to the labia, often termed labial puffing, is an aesthetic procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and overall appearance of the labia. The treatment restores volume to the vaginal lips with dermal fillers, typically composed of hyaluronic acid– a naturally occurring substance that can provide long-lasting volume and moisture to your skin.

At Beleza Plastic Surgery, thousands of patients have recovered confidence in their bodies with noninvasive treatments that significantly improve their appearance. Soft tissue fillers were the second most popular minimally invasive procedure in 2023, and specialists performed more than 6.2 million dermal filler treatments to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals. (1) Filler can improve the symmetry of the labia for long-lasting results that restore your confidence.

About Labial Puffing

Labial puffing is a non-surgical treatment that enhances the appearance of the vaginal lips. Over time, factors such as hormonal changes and aging can lead to volume loss in the labia, resulting in a less youthful appearance. Changes to labia after pregnancy and menopause are especially common. (2) Loss of volume can be uncomfortable and women may begin to feel self-conscious when volume loss is apparent through swimsuits or lingerie. Dermal fillers are an effective solution for achieving a plumper, fuller appearance while also improving skin elasticity and hydration. Dr. Wooten also offers fat transfer to the labia with autologous fat or Renuva for more permanent results.

Benefits of Filler to the Labia

Many patients choose to undergo filler to the labia because it is minimally invasive and does not come with the risks associated with undergoing anesthesia. After filler to the labia, many patients enjoy several benefits, including:

  • Balanced proportions: You can enjoy a plumper look for a fuller, smoother appearance.
  • Increased self-confidence: Improving the labia can increase self-esteem and body image satisfaction.
  • Non-surgical treatment: The procedure does not involve invasive surgical methods, making it a low-risk, effective treatment for achieving your desired look.
  • Minimal downtime: Most patients can return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure.
  • Customizable treatment: Dr. Wooten can adjust the procedure to your individual preferences and aesthetic goals.
  • Natural-looking results: You can enjoy natural-looking results that are long-lasting when you take good care of your skin.
  • Feeling better in clothing: Labial fillers can help to reduce discomfort and self-consciousness.
  • Long-lasting results: Dermal fillers typically last 6-12 months for lasting volume that you can enjoy if you take good care of your body.
  • Feeling more comfortable in your body: Increasing the volume of your labia can help you experience improved intimate relationships.

Candidates & Consultation

Suitable candidates for filler to the labia include women who wish to improve their appearance after changes to their bodies from childbirth, aging, or genetics. Dr. Wooten can perform the treatment to address aesthetic or functional needs. However, candidates:

  • Should be in good overall health
  • Seek realistic improvements
  • Prefer non-surgical options for enhancement

During your consultation, Dr. Wooten and her clinical staff will discuss your medical history and any current medications you are taking that could affect your results. We will also review your aesthetic goals in depth to develop a plan for your desired look. It is also important for us to discuss your lifestyle and what your recovery will entail based on your specific goals. If you have excess skin that you would like to address, we can discuss whether or not a labiaplasty would be appropriate for your needs.

Preparation

To prepare for filler to the labia, you must:

  • Avoid blood-thinning non-prescription medications/supplements
  • Remove hair and avoid sensitizing skincare products
  • Avoid any activities that could cause an infection or irritation

If you experience a bacterial infection or viral outbreak before your treatment, we will need to delay your treatment until your skin recovers. Taking good care of your skin and maintaining good hygiene can help you achieve the best results.

Procedure

During your procedure, Dr. Wooten will cleanse your skin and administer a local anesthetic for comfort. Using a thin needle, they will use the dermal filler to improve the appearance of the labia for a fuller, plumper appearance. She will strategically shape the soft tissue with the filler and massage the area gently to help the treatment settle into your skin. Dr. Wooten will work to ensure that the filler is evenly distributed and the labia are evenly shaped. Afterward, you can return home immediately and resume your normal routine.

Recovery & Results

Filler to the Labia Beleza Plastic Surgery

Recovery time after filler to the labia is minimal, and you can return to your normal routine immediately after your treatment. However, you will need to avoid any strenuous activities that could put pressure on your skin for approximately 48 hours to allow the treatment to settle into your skin. It is common to experience some minor swelling for the first 3-5 days after the treatment. (3) Wearing loose-fitting, comfortable clothing can help you feel your best. You can enjoy the results of the treatment immediately afterward. Patients enjoy a fuller, more aesthetically pleasing labia that improves their overall body image for months and years to come.

Intimate Wellness Treatments

Pregnancy, hormonal shifts, and menopause can alter the appearance of intimate areas. We offer several intimate wellness treatments to help you improve your sexual wellness and restore your body.

Vaginal Laxity

If you are experiencing vaginal laxity after childbirth or loose vaginal lips we offer several minimally invasive treatments to help you improve the way you feel about your body. Radiofrequency energy can increase the levels of collagen and elastin in your skin, leading to improved nerve function and sensitivity for better intimate relationships. (4) The treatment can also improve vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). To learn more about our treatments for vaginal laxity, see our guide.

Morpheus8V

Morpheus8V is a treatment that increases the collagen levels in your skin for a smoother appearance with microneedling. During the treatment, we can renew your skin with tiny needles that administer radiofrequency energy. The energy causes your skin to contract to improve the appearance of mild wrinkles and skin laxity. After the treatment, many women can enjoy long-lasting results, and more satisfactory intimate relationships.

Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence, colloquially known as a “leaky bladder,” is a frustrating condition that can affect your quality of life and daily routine. Childbirth, aging, and genetics can change the integrity of your bladder, leading to discharge throughout the day. We can strengthen your pelvic floor with VTone– an ergonomic device that causes the pelvic floor muscles to contract. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can help you improve your leaky bladder for fewer trips to the restroom and increased comfort throughout the day. To learn more about our additional treatments, see our blog.

FAQ

Filler vs. Fat – why?

Fat grafting offers a long-lasting, very natural-looking and feeling surgical result. Fillers may offer a higher degree of structure and stability to the tissue when compared to fat. Also, fat is a relatively permanent treatment, while filler dissolves naturally over time, and may be well-suited for a more conservative patient. Additionally, some very slim patients may have difficulty with any fat transfer procedure, since they may not have much ‘donor fat’ in other areas of the body.

Why would someone choose filler to the labia?

Filler to the labia offers a solution to those looking to enhance their intimate appearance. Through injection of volumizing agents, it can restore lost volume, improve symmetry, and provide hydration to the area. In recent years, many women have reported increased confidence and satisfaction following the procedure due to its ability to enhance the natural contours and fullness of the labial region.

Is filler to the labia painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort due to the use of local anesthesia. Beleza offers ProNox (a 50/50 nitrous/oxygen blend) in addition to topical anesthetic to make this procedure extremely comfortable.

What can I expect during the recovery period?

Patients typically resume normal activities shortly after the procedure; however, avoiding strenuous exercise for a couple of days is recommended. Horseback riding, cycling/spinning, and intercourse may be avoided for a few days after the treatment.

After receiving filler to the labia will I experience any side effects?

Common side effects are mild, temporary swelling which typically resolves within a few days.

Can I combine this procedure with other treatments?

Yes, you can combine filler to the labia with other cosmetic procedures for comprehensive enhancement.

What if I am unhappy with the results?

If you are unhappy with your results, we will adjust the filler to your needs and can dissolve or reshape the labia until we achieve your desired look.
