Labia majora fillers in Gdańsk – hyaluronic acid

Labia majora augmentation with hyaluronic acid in Gdańsk

Hyaluronic acid fillers can restore volume to the labia majora and help correct selected contour irregularities and asymmetry. Treatment is considered for adult patients following an assessment of vulval anatomy, symptoms and expectations.

At Tartaczna 2 Medical Centre in Gdańsk, consultations and treatment are provided by gynaecologists Dr Marek Korożan and Dr Volha Khitrun.

What are labia majora fillers?

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in human tissues, where it helps bind water and maintain hydration. During treatment, an injectable filler is placed into the tissues of the labia majora, the outer lips of the vulva, to increase their volume and refine their contour.

The doctor selects the product, amount and injection sites according to your anatomy and the agreed treatment plan. Hyaluronic acid is not a hormone and does not replace oestrogen.

When might labia majora augmentation be considered?

Reasons for seeking a consultation may include:

• loss of labia majora volume associated with ageing or significant weight loss,
• naturally low labia majora volume that you would like to change,
• asymmetry that may be improved by adding volume,
• chafing or discomfort, if the doctor identifies a connection between these symptoms and loss of tissue volume,
• a wish to change the shape and appearance of the labia majora.

Labia naturally vary in size, shape and symmetry. These differences do not, in themselves, indicate a medical condition or a need for treatment. During the consultation, we discuss the possible outcome, the limitations of the procedure and alternative options.

Labia majora volume loss and vaginal dryness

Loss of labia majora volume and vaginal dryness may occur together, but they require separate assessment. Lower oestrogen levels, for example after menopause, removal of both ovaries or certain cancer treatments, can cause dryness, burning and soreness in the vulval and vaginal tissues.

Labia majora fillers do not replace treatment for vaginal dryness or infections. Depending on the diagnosis, your doctor may recommend vaginal moisturisers, lubricants or local hormonal treatment. Vaginal moisturisers containing hyaluronic acid and injectable fillers are different ways of using this substance.

Itching, recurrent burning, abnormal discharge or pain during sex should be assessed to establish the cause. For patients who have undergone cancer treatment, care is tailored to the type of cancer and the oncologist's recommendations.

Hyaluronic acid fillers or labiaplasty?

Hyaluronic acid fillers are primarily used to increase the volume of the labia majora. If the concern involves excess tissue or asymmetry of the labia minora, the doctor may discuss labiaplasty. A combination of procedures may be considered in selected cases following an individual assessment.

How should I prepare for treatment?

A gynaecological consultation is required before treatment. The doctor assesses the tissues, checks for contraindications and agrees the extent of contouring with you. The expected outcome, possible complications and aftercare are also discussed.

Tell your doctor about any long-term medical conditions, allergies, medicines, previous fillers and procedures in the genital area. You should also mention pregnancy, breastfeeding and any symptoms of infection. The doctor will decide whether any additional tests are needed. Do not stop anticoagulants or other prescribed medicines without medical advice.

When are labia majora fillers unsuitable?

Treatment should be postponed or avoided in situations including:

• an active infection or inflammation in the treatment area,
• unexplained vulval lesions, ulcers or suspected cancer,
• an allergy to any ingredient in the selected product,
• other contraindications listed in the product's instructions for use.

Elective aesthetic procedures are usually postponed during pregnancy and breastfeeding because safety data are insufficient. Bleeding disorders, immunosuppressive treatment and a history of cancer require individual assessment.

What happens during the procedure, and is it painful?

Labia majora filler treatment is performed in a procedure room under local anaesthesia. After preparing and cleaning the area, the doctor injects the filler into the agreed sites. The injections usually take around 20 minutes; the full appointment, including preparation and anaesthesia, takes longer.

Local anaesthesia reduces pain, although brief stinging, pressure or discomfort may still occur. You can usually go home after treatment, with instructions on aftercare and follow-up.

Labia majora filler results – how long do they last?

An increase in volume may be visible immediately after treatment, although swelling also affects the initial appearance. The result is assessed once the swelling has settled, usually after a few weeks.

Clinical studies have reported improvements in the appearance of the labia majora and, in some patients, reduced discomfort associated with tissue atrophy. Results vary between individuals, and evidence on long-term outcomes and repeated treatments remains limited.

The effect is temporary. Results may last around 12 months, depending on the product, the amount used and the individual tissue response. Any top-up or repeat treatment is discussed following a review and according to your preferences and needs.

Aftercare following labia majora filler treatment

• Keep the treatment area clean using gentle hygiene measures and follow the instructions provided.
• Avoid pressure and friction; choose loose clothing and comfortable underwear.
• Limit cycling, horse riding and other activities that put pressure on the perineum, usually for around 1–2 weeks, as advised by your doctor.
• Discuss when you can resume sex with your doctor; injection sites should have healed and swelling and tenderness should have resolved.
• Do not massage the treated areas unless your doctor specifically advises you to do so.
• Attend your follow-up appointment as arranged.

Possible side effects and complications

Swelling, bruising, tenderness or temporary soreness may occur after the injections. Other possible complications include contour irregularities, palpable lumps, asymmetry, infection, and inflammatory or allergic reactions. A rare but serious complication of filler injections is impaired blood supply, which can lead to tissue damage.

Severe or worsening pain, pale or darkening skin, fever or pus-like discharge require urgent medical assessment.
