Labia augmentation Frankfurt

Before the procedure, we invite you to a personal consultation at our practice in Frankfurt. Here you can talk to Dr. Nichlos about the reasons for your desire for labiaplasty and ask questions in a discreet one-on-one consultation.

An important part of the consultation is the physical examination so that the specialist can get an idea of the area to be treated and present you with the appropriate treatment options. He will then explain the exact procedure to you, what to look out for before and after the procedure and what risks and possible complications are associated with labia majora augmentation.

If you decide to undergo labiaplasty, Dr. Nichlos will make an appointment for the operation or, in the case of filler injections, for the outpatient procedure. Dr. Nichlos performs the operations in the modern operating theatres at the Berger Klinik in Frankfurt, where you will be welcomed by a friendly team and will be in the best of hands from the very first minute.

The injection of hyaluronic acid into the labia takes about 20 to 30 minutes and is performed by Dr. Nichlos on an outpatient basis in his practice in Frankfurt. Before injecting the filler, we thoroughly disinfect the area and, if necessary, apply a local anesthetic cream so that you hardly feel the punctures. Dr. Nichlos then begins to inject the hyaluronic acid and sculpt the labia into the desired shape. You can leave the practice immediately after the procedure and are ready for social life again straight away.

Dr. Nichlos performs labiaplasty under general anaesthetic and with a short inpatient stay (usually one night). The actual procedure takes between 60 and 80 minutes. As soon as the areas to be treated have been disinfected and the anaesthetist has induced anaesthesia, the specialist begins to make fine incisions in the skin and inject a tumescent solution into the liposuction sites. This has an anesthetic effect and also helps to loosen the fat cells.

Dr. Nichlos then aspirates the loosened fat and has it cleaned. He then injects the purified fat into the tissue of the labia using very fine cannulas, sculpting them so that they form an aesthetic unit with the mons pubis. Finally, he treats the skin incisions with staple plasters. This means that subsequent stitches are not required.

In the first few days after the procedure on your labia, you should take it easy and avoid physically strenuous activities. Swelling and slight pain are normal after both hyaluronic acid injections and labia augmentation with autologous fat and usually subside within 1 to 2 weeks.

You can treat mild pain yourself with over-the-counter painkillers. Careful cooling helps against swelling. You can shower the very next day, but you should avoid full baths for about two weeks (in the case of lipofilling).

Depending on the type of procedure, it can take several weeks to months before the final result of labia augmentation can be seen. When fat cells are implanted, for example, it takes time for them to grow in completely and solidify. Dr. Nichlos will be happy to explain this to you in more detail during your consultation.

Labia augmentation is a relatively common procedure in intimate surgery and is low-risk if performed correctly and in compliance with strict hygiene and safety measures. Nevertheless, as with any surgical procedure, certain risks can never be 100% ruled out. These include, above all, the general risk of anesthesia and infection.

In addition, circulatory and wound healing disorders or scarring in the liposuction area may occur after the procedure. In very rare cases, embolisms (so-called fat embolisms) can occur when injecting autologous fat. However, the risk of this can be kept very low by the surgeon’s high level of expertise.
