Labial Fat Grafting and Labial Puff
Labial Fat Grafting
As women age they loose fatty tissue not only from the face and breasts, but from the pubic area as well. Since many women shave or wax this area, they may find this wrinkling and skin laxity to be less than welcome. This loss of fat manifests in sagginess of the outer lips (labia majora) and mons pubis. Sex may even be uncomfortable due to the loss of natural padding along the pubic bone that fat provides.
While some women may prefer to treat this condition with temporary injectable fillers (see Labial Puff, below), a more permanent option for filling this area is “micro fat grafting.” This procedure involves removing fat cells from the lower abdomen, hips or lower back and injecting the skin of the mons pubis and labia majora. The fat fills the pelvic triangle giving a much more youthful and soft appearance.

Monsplasty, or Mons Lift
Some women have the opposite complaint. They feel they have too much fat in the pubic area. This condition was made famous when Beyoncé mentioned her FUPA after the birth of her twins (by the way, she was quite content with her FUPA). When women feel they have too much fat of the mons, it can be treated with mons liposuction and/or a monsplasty also known as a mons lift or a pubic lift. A monsplasty is a surgical reduction and reshaping of excess skin and fat of the mons. The mons is the pubic mound that covers the pubic bones and is normally covered in pubic hair. Fat of the upper pubis is normal, but if you are unhappy with how it makes you feel or if it causes functional issues such as difficulting urinating or difficulting staying clean and avoiding infections, schedule a consult with Dr. Hamori to discuss your options.
As a recognized expert expert in labial rejuvenation, Dr. Hamori has been featured in Allure Magazine and appeared on “ The Doctors” and “The Montel Williams Show” discussing intimate female cosmetic treatments — also known as cosmetic GYN.
Labial Puff (Nonsurgical treatment)
Many women develop laxity and deflation of the labia majora as they age. Decreases in estrogen may contribute to aging in this delicate area just like in the face. After childbirth and around menopause are the common times when women experience this complaint. Dr. Hamori and Dr. DiEdwardo can address this wrinkling and laxity non-surgically with the injection of fat or other cosmetic injectable, known as a Labial Puff.
Dr. DiEdwardo describes the Labial Puff procedure
Dr. Hamori was featured on “The Doctors” television program to describe using injectable fillers to treat a deflated labia.
Dr. Hamori was a guest on “The Doctors” to speak about the Labial Puff. You can watch the video on their website.
In the television segment, Dr. Hamori describes the procedure: "The labial puff helps to revolumize the labia majora. How I like to do that is to apply a little numbing cream for about 10 minutes, and then with a very tiny-gauge needle I inject a volumizer. I like Sculptra Aesthetic. It’s a compound that helps your fibroblast to make more collagen so the area can become re-inflated."
Labial Puff: How It Works
Dr. Hamori or Dr. DiEdwardo will use a topical numbing ointment prior to using a very tiny-gauge needle to inject the patient’s own fat or other injectable (such as Sculptra Aesthetic) into the labia majora to help conceal the labia minora to create the desired result.
