How would I be able to tell if I need labia puffing or skin removal?

That’s a great question, and one we get often.

The best way to determine whether you’d benefit more from labia puffing or a labia majoraplasty depends on your anatomy and goals.

Labia Puffing is ideal if your labia majora appear deflated or hollow but the overall shape and amount of skin are still appropriate. Puffing restores volume using filler or fat (often combined with PRP), giving a fuller, smoother, more youthful look. It’s non-surgical, quick, and has minimal downtime.

Labia Majoraplasty is better suited if there is excess skin, sagging, or significant tissue redundancy. In this case, surgical contouring is used to remove excess tissue and reshape the labia for a tighter, more refined appearance.

Sometimes, we even combine both procedures—removing excess skin while restoring volume for optimal results.

The best way to decide is through a personalized consultation. We’ll assess your anatomy, listen to your concerns, and guide you to the treatment that will give you the most natural, satisfying outcome. Let us know if you'd like to schedule a visit!

Hello, in patients whose outer lips are too saggy and who generally lose a lot of weight quickly, we prefer to remove the excess tissue and then apply filler if necessary when full recovery is completed. However, if there is not much excess tissue upon examination, it will be sufficient to apply only filler if the fat content inside has decreased and it looks dull.

Great question! The best option for you depends on your anatomy, physical characteristics, and personal preference. There are some patients whose labia majora are so deflated and lax that the only option is labia majora reduction. There are other patients who have noticed premature aging with subtle deflation and laxity who would do great with augmentation. This would be determined at the time of an examination.
