WHAT IS LABIA AUGMENTATION?

Labia majora augmentation, also known as “labial puffing,” is a revolutionary cosmetic treatment that can help restore the volume and youthful appearance of the labia. This highly effective procedure is designed to address the effects of reduced collagen production, sexual activities, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and weight fluctuation, which can make a significant difference in a woman’s self-confidence and overall quality of life. With more and more women seeking out this life-changing treatment, labia augmentation is quickly becoming one of the most popular and effective cosmetic procedures available today at our Reston, Virginia, location.

The use of vaginal dermal filler can lead to enhanced sensitivity in the front wall of the vagina, making the tissues feel renewed and healthier. Hyaluronic acid fillers work as an effective solution to resolve problems with vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse. It assists in lubricating the vagina by boosting hydration of the vaginal mucosa. The dermal filler can also address asymmetry or conceal a more prominent labia minora.

Once you arrive at the office, the area will be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic will be applied to reduce discomfort during the filler injections. Then, a hyaluronic acid-based filler is carefully injected into the front and back vaginal wall just underneath the vaginal mucosa. After numbing, the labial filler procedure takes only 10 - 15 minutes. Once completed, there is no downtime, and you can resume your daily activities.

Labia augmentation with dermal filler results vary depending on the type of filler used and each patient's individual metabolism. Typically, hyaluronic acid labial filler results last approximately 6 - 12 months, although some patients at our Washington, DC, location report shorter or longer durations. Other filler results are considered semi-permanent, lasting five years or longer. Immediate results are seen once the treatment is over.

Every patient has different anatomy and aesthetic goals; because of this, we encourage individuals interested in labia augmentation treatment to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dima Ali in Reston, Virginia, to receive a custom-tailored treatment plan.

Before the procedure:

  • Avoid the use of Aspirin, NSAIDs, ginkgo biloba, garlic supplements, green tea, flax oil, cod liver oil, vitamins A and E, and essential fatty acids for up to 1 week pre- and post-injection, as they will increase your risk of bruising.
  • Do not drink alcoholic beverages 24 hours before (or after) your treatment to avoid extra bruising. You may take Arnica tablets 2 - 3 days before your injections to reduce the risk of bruising.
  • Do not apply products that are potentially irritating for 2 - 3 days before and after treatment. Examples include tretinoin/Retin A, glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and hydroquinone.
  • Inform Dr. Dima if you have a history of cold sores to receive advice on antiviral therapy before treatment.
  • Inform Dr. Dima and the staff if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or are allergic to any of its ingredients.

After the procedure:

Immediately after the treatment, you can expect slight redness, swelling, tenderness, and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a typical result of the injection. The discomfort is temporary and generally disappears in a few days. Some patients experience swelling for about a week.

In general, labia puffing costs start from approximately $2,500 and increases depending on the desired volume. To ensure the procedure is affordable, we accept various payment methods, including special financing options.
