Labia Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting to Labia) in London










Labia fat transfer at Centre for Surgery London — permanent labial volume restoration using your own body fat, performed by GMC Specialist Register surgeons at our CQC-regulated Baker Street clinic. From £2,500 under local anaesthetic with oral sedation.


Labia fat transfer, also known as fat grafting to the labia or gynaecological fat transfer, is a surgical procedure that uses your own body fat to restore volume, improve tissue quality, and rejuvenate the labial area. Fat is removed from a donor area — typically the abdomen, flanks, or inner thighs — using micro-liposuction, processed to isolate viable fat cells, and injected into the labia majora.


The procedure addresses volume loss caused by ageing, hormonal changes, pregnancy, childbirth, or weight loss. It can also improve tissue quality in patients with scarring, menopausal atrophy, or tissue damage following radiotherapy. Because the procedure uses your own fat rather than synthetic fillers, results are natural in feel and, once the fat has integrated, permanent.


Labia fat transfer is a surgical alternative to — the key distinction being longevity: fat transfer offers permanent results, while filler requires repeat treatment every 12 to 18 months.


All labia fat transfer procedures at Centre for Surgery are performed by consultant plastic surgeons on the at our . Straightforward cases are performed under local anaesthetic with oral sedation from £2,500. Complex cases and combined procedures are performed under . A mandatory two-week cooling-off period applies to all surgical procedures.

Labia Fat Transfer vs Labia Filler










Labia fat transfer vs labia filler at Centre for Surgery London — fat transfer is permanent with regenerative tissue quality benefits, while filler is non-surgical but temporary at 12–18 months. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate approach at consultation.


Labia augmentation can be achieved through two methods: surgical fat transfer or dermal filler. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate approach for your anatomy and goals at consultation.

For patients who want permanent results and improved tissue quality, fat transfer is the more appropriate route. For patients who want to avoid surgery or test the aesthetic result before committing to a permanent procedure, filler is a reasonable starting point.

Am I Suitable for Labia Fat Transfer?










Labia fat transfer donor site map at Centre for Surgery London — only a small volume of fat is needed, harvested from the lower abdomen, flanks or inner thighs using fine micro-liposuction cannulas through 3–4mm port incisions placed in natural skin folds.


Suitability is confirmed at a face-to-face consultation with your surgeon. The following criteria apply at Centre for Surgery:


Labia fat transfer requires enough harvestable fat in a donor area — typically the abdomen, inner thighs, or flanks. Patients with a very low BMI and minimal body fat may not have sufficient donor tissue for a meaningful transfer volume. Your surgeon will assess this at consultation.


Centre for Surgery performs labia fat transfer on adults aged 18 and over only.


Candidates should be in good general health. Active infection in or near the treatment area is a contraindication until resolved. Patients with conditions that impair wound healing or fat integration — such as uncontrolled diabetes — are assessed individually.


Smoking impairs microcirculation, which reduces fat cell survival after transfer and slows wound healing at the liposuction donor sites. Stop all nicotine products at least four weeks before surgery and for four weeks after.


Significant weight fluctuation after surgery affects transferred fat — weight gain increases volume, weight loss reduces it. Candidates should be at a stable, sustainable weight before proceeding for the most predictable result.


Future pregnancy, childbirth, and hormonal changes can alter the volume of transferred fat. Patients planning further pregnancies are advised of this at consultation.


Fat transfer can restore lost labial volume and improve tissue quality — it cannot produce a specific appearance that does not reflect your anatomy. Approximately 30–50% of transferred fat is reabsorbed by the body in the first three to six months; your surgeon plans for this in the volume injected. A top-up session may occasionally be needed to achieve the desired final result.

What Conditions Can Labia Fat Transfer Treat?










Conditions treated by labia fat transfer at Centre for Surgery London — seven primary indications ranging from age-related volume loss through to post-radiotherapy tissue repair. The stromal vascular fraction in transferred fat carries regenerative properties beyond simple volume addition.


Hormonal changes and the natural ageing process reduce labial tissue volume over time. The labia majora become deflated, loose, and less youthful in appearance. Fat transfer restores lost volume using the body’s own tissue, creating fuller, softer labia with lasting results.


Pregnancy and delivery stretch and deflate labial tissue. For some patients the change is primarily in the labia minora (addressed by ); for others the labia majora become deflated or asymmetric. Fat transfer restores volume and improves tissue quality in the outer labial structures.


Where one side of the labia majora is noticeably larger or fuller than the other, fat transfer can correct the asymmetry by selectively adding volume to the smaller side. This produces a more balanced, symmetrical labial appearance.


Oestrogen decline during menopause causes thinning, dryness, and loss of elasticity in the vulvovaginal tissues. The regenerative properties of fat transfer — including its growth factor content — can improve hydration, skin quality, and tissue thickness in the labial area. For internal vaginal atrophy, is a complementary option.


Surgical procedures, trauma, lichen sclerosus, or radiotherapy can cause scarring and tissue irregularities in the vulval area. The stromal vascular fraction in transferred fat has regenerative properties that can soften scar tissue, improve skin quality, and restore a more natural feel and appearance.


Women who have undergone pelvic radiotherapy for gynaecological cancer may experience significant tissue thinning, dryness, and discomfort. Fat transfer can aid tissue repair and hydration by promoting cell regeneration locally. This should be discussed with your oncology team before proceeding.


Some patients are born with naturally thin, asymmetric, or underdeveloped labia majora. Fat transfer provides a natural, permanent solution that improves shape and symmetry without implants or synthetic materials.

The Labia Fat Transfer Procedure










Labia fat transfer procedure stage by stage at Centre for Surgery London — micro-liposuction harvests fat through 3–4mm port incisions, fat processing isolates viable cells while preserving the regenerative stromal vascular fraction, and fine cannulas inject the processed fat into the labia majora in precise layers. Day-case procedure of 1 to 2 hours total.


Labia fat transfer is performed as a day case — you go home the same day once recovered and confirmed fit for discharge by your clinical team.


Straightforward labia fat transfer at Centre for Surgery is performed under local anaesthetic with oral sedation — from £2,500. You are relaxed and the treatment areas are completely numb, but awake throughout. is used for combined procedures and for patients who prefer to be fully asleep. The appropriate approach is agreed at your consultation.


A small volume of fat is removed from the agreed donor area — typically the abdomen, inner thighs, or flanks — using fine micro-liposuction cannulas through 3–4mm incisions placed in natural skin folds. The quantity harvested is determined by the volume required for transfer, accounting for the expected 30–50% resorption rate.


The harvested fat is processed to remove blood, fluid, and non-viable cells, isolating the healthiest fat cells for transfer. The processing method is selected to preserve the stromal vascular fraction — the regenerative component of transferred fat responsible for tissue quality improvement beyond simple volume addition.


The processed fat is injected into the labia majora using fine cannulas in multiple small passes — distributing the fat evenly through the tissue to maximise contact with the local blood supply and optimise fat survival. Injection is carried out in precise layers to achieve a smooth, natural result without irregularities.


You will be monitored for one to two hours before discharge. A prescription for analgesics is provided. Your coordinator will review your written postoperative instructions with you before you leave. A responsible adult must take you home.

Recovery after Labia Fat Transfer










Labia fat transfer recovery timeline at Centre for Surgery London — day-case procedure, return to desk work at 3–5 days, wound check at 7–10 days, full clearance at 6 weeks, and final result visible at 3–6 months once 30–50% fat resorption is complete and surviving fat is permanent.


Recovery from labia fat transfer involves two areas: the liposuction donor site and the labial injection site. Both are generally well tolerated and most patients find the procedure significantly less uncomfortable than anticipated.


Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal at both the donor and injection sites. Apply cold packs wrapped in a clean cloth for 15–20 minutes at a time. Take paracetamol as needed. Wear loose cotton underwear and a sanitary pad. Shower only from 48 hours — avoid baths for the first two weeks.


Most patients in desk-based roles return to work from three to five days. A compression garment over the liposuction donor area is worn for six weeks — compression garments are not included in procedure costs. Avoid prolonged sitting in the first few days and minimise friction to the labial area.


Swelling at both sites peaks at three to five days and reduces steadily. By two weeks most bruising has resolved. You will attend a nurse-led wound check at seven to ten days. Transferred fat continues to integrate during this period — the volume will appear to reduce slightly as resorption occurs, before the final result becomes visible.


Avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, baths, tampons, and sexual activity for six weeks. A surgeon review at six weeks confirms healing at both sites before full activity resumes.


The final result is visible at three to six months, once all swelling has resolved and the surviving fat has fully integrated. Approximately 30–50% of transferred fat is reabsorbed — this is normal and is planned for in the volume injected at surgery. The integrated fat is then permanent.

Procedures Commonly Combined with Labia Fat Transfer










Procedures commonly combined with labia fat transfer at Centre for Surgery London — labiaplasty, clitoral hood reduction, vaginoplasty under TIVA, perineoplasty, mons pubis liposuction, and IntimaLase or RenovaLase non-surgical laser treatments. Combinations assessed at consultation for clinical appropriateness.


Labia fat transfer can be performed alongside other cosmetic gynaecology procedures where clinically appropriate. Your surgeon will advise on suitable combinations at consultation.


Labiaplasty reduces excess labia minora tissue; fat transfer restores volume to the labia majora. The two procedures address different structures and different indications, but can be combined in the same session. The result addresses both inner labial excess and outer labial deflation simultaneously — a common combination for patients presenting with post-childbirth labial changes.


Clitoral hood reduction removes excess prepuce tissue and can be performed at the same session as labia fat transfer where indicated. Together with labiaplasty, this is one of the most common multi-procedure combinations in cosmetic gynaecology.


Vaginoplasty tightens the vaginal canal and pelvic floor musculature. Combined with labia fat transfer, the two procedures address both internal laxity and external labial volume in a single recovery period. Combined cases are performed under TIVA.


Perineoplasty repairs and tightens the perineum — most commonly after childbirth injury. It can be combined with labia fat transfer and vaginoplasty in the same session for comprehensive vulvovaginal rejuvenation.


Liposuction of the mons pubis addresses excess fat above the labia and can be performed at the same session as labia fat transfer. The fat harvested from the mons can be processed and transferred directly to the labia — providing both contouring of the donor area and augmentation of the recipient site in a single procedure.


For patients seeking additional tissue improvement without further surgery, and can complement fat transfer results by stimulating collagen production and improving tissue hydration.

FAQs
What To Expect

Your consultation takes place at our Baker Street clinic with your operating surgeon — a consultant plastic surgeon on the GMC Specialist Register. Your surgeon will take a full medical history, assess your labial anatomy and the volume deficit, and identify a suitable donor area for fat harvest. They will explain the procedure in full — including the micro-liposuction technique, fat processing method, and injection approach — and confirm whether local anaesthetic with oral sedation or TIVA is appropriate for your case. If you are considering combining labia fat transfer with labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, or another procedure, this is assessed at the same appointment. Before and after cases are available to view. A written treatment plan and itemised cost is confirmed before you leave. The £100 consultation fee is redeemable against your procedure cost. A mandatory two-week cooling-off period begins from the date consent is signed.


Stop all nicotine products at least four weeks before surgery and for four weeks after — smoking impairs microcirculation and significantly reduces fat cell survival after transfer, as well as slowing wound healing at the donor site. Stop aspirin at least one week before. Stop ibuprofen and all other NSAIDs. Stop supplements that affect bleeding (fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, St John's wort). Avoid alcohol for 48 hours before your procedure. For TIVA cases: no food for six hours before admission and clear fluids only up to two hours before. Your preoperative medical assessment confirms fitness for surgery and anaesthesia. Purchase loose-fitting cotton underwear and a compression garment for the donor area — compression garments are not included in the procedure cost. Arrange a responsible adult to collect you and stay with you for the first 24 hours.


Arrive at our Baker Street clinic at your confirmed admission time. A nurse will admit you, check your vital signs, and prepare you for theatre. Your surgeon will confirm the operative plan and mark the donor and recipient areas. For local anaesthetic with oral sedation cases, the sedation is administered and local anaesthetic is injected into both the donor and recipient areas before the procedure begins. For TIVA cases, your consultant anaesthetist confirms fitness and administers the anaesthetic. Stage 1: micro-liposuction removes fat from the agreed donor area through 3–4mm incisions. Stage 2: the harvested fat is processed to isolate viable cells. Stage 3: the processed fat is injected into the labia majora in precise layers using fine cannulas. The procedure takes approximately one to two hours as a standalone; combined procedures take longer. All incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures. A compression garment is applied to the donor area before you leave theatre. You are monitored in recovery for one to two hours before discharge. A responsible adult must take you home.


24/7 clinical support is available for the first 48 hours. Our postoperative team contacts you regularly during the first two weeks. Mild swelling and bruising at both the donor and labial injection sites are normal — apply cold packs wrapped in a clean cloth for 15–20 minutes at a time. Take paracetamol as needed. Wear your compression garment over the donor area continuously for six weeks — removing only to shower. Compression garments are not included in procedure costs. Most patients in desk-based roles return to work from three to five days. Attend your nurse-led wound check at seven to ten days. Avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, baths, tampons, and sexual activity for six weeks. Your surgeon review at six weeks confirms complete healing before full activity resumes. The transferred fat undergoes 30–50% resorption over the first three to six months — this is normal and planned for. The surviving fat integrates permanently. Final result is visible at three to six months.
