Fat Transfer to Vulva (Labia Puffing)
Restore natural volume, symmetry, and comfort with fat transfer to the vulva (labia puffing) at LuxLipo in Jonesboro. Performed by Dr. Desai, this minimally invasive procedure uses your own purified fat to gently augment the labia majora for a smoother, more youthful contour and improved intimate comfort.
Why choose fat transfer to the vulva?
- Natural autologous tissue — no synthetic fillers or implants
- Dual benefit: contours donor areas (liposuction) while enhancing the vulva
- Long-lasting improvement when weight is stable
- Performed by a skilled physician in a discreet outpatient setting
Benefits of labia puffing with fat transfer
- Natural appearance and feel using your own tissue
- Improved symmetry and fullness of the labia majora
- Reduced prominence of labia minora in some patients
- Minimally invasive with relatively short downtime
- Results that can be long-lasting (fat retention varies; commonly a portion of transferred fat is permanent)
Before and after the treatment
How the procedure works
- Consultation: Dr. Desai evaluates anatomy, discusses goals, reviews medical history, and creates a personalized plan.
- Harvesting: Under local anesthesia with sedation as needed, a small-volume liposuction harvests fat from donor sites (thighs, flanks, or abdomen).
- Processing: Fat is gently purified to remove fluid and damaged cells to maximize graft survival.
- Transfer: Purified fat is carefully injected into the labia majora through small entry points and sculpted for symmetry and natural contour.
- Recovery: You go home the same day with aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments scheduled.
Procedure details
- Typical duration: 45–90 minutes (varies by case)
- Anesthesia: Local with optional oral or IV sedation
- Setting: Outpatient surgical suite at LuxLipo, Jonesboro
- Downtime: Light activities often within 48–72 hours; most patients return to non-strenuous work in several days
- Changes in sensation (temporary or, rarely, permanent)
- Asymmetry or need for revision
- We minimize risks with meticulous surgical technique, individualized planning, and clear post-op instructions.
What to expect during recovery
- Immediately: Mild-to-moderate swelling, bruising, and tenderness at donor and injection sites
- First 1–2 weeks: Avoid vigorous exercise, sexual activity, tampon use, and soaking in baths/pools
- 4–6 weeks: Most swelling resolves and activities including exercise and intercourse may resume per Dr. Desai’s guidance
- Final results: Shape and fullness continue to settle over 3–6 months as grafted fat stabilizes
Results and longevity
- Fat graft survival varies; many patients retain a meaningful, long-term improvement.
- Some resorption of transferred fat is common; Dr. Desai will plan for expected absorption to achieve the desired long-term result.
- Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve outcomes.

FAQ?
How much does fat transfer to the vulva cost?
Cost varies by individual needs, amount of fat harvest required, and whether additional procedures are combined. A personalized consultation with Dr. Desai is required for an accurate quote.
Is the procedure painful?
Discomfort is typically minimal and controlled with local anesthesia and oral medication; most patients report tolerable pain that resolves quickly.
How long before I see final results?
Initial fullness is visible right away, but final results emerge over 3–6 months as swelling resolves and transferred fat stabilizes.
When can I have sex again?
We generally recommend avoiding vaginal intercourse for about 4–6 weeks to allow adequate healing. Follow Dr. Desai’s specific instructions.
Will this affect sensation?
Most patients do not experience long-term changes in sensation. Temporary numbness or tenderness can occur during healing.
Can I combine fat transfer to the vulva with other body contouring?
Yes. The donor-site liposuction provides body contouring; additional procedures are possible and will be planned for safety and optimal results.
