Gynecology -- Genital Liposuction / Lipofilling
Liposuction of the mons pubis is a straightforward procedure that can be done under local anesthesia to achieve dramatic results, especially if the skin has good elasticity. However, for people with loose skin, liposuction of the mons pubis can appear to make the already-loose skin in the pubic area even looser. This is due to the sagging that can occur when the fat is removed.
Lipofilling:
The procedure consists in using liposuction to remove fat from a place where it is present in excess, (the belly, sides, hips, thighs, knees, etc.) and, after centrifuging and purifying it, injecting it circumferentially under the vaginal mucosa. The fat thus applied makes it possible to reduce the diameter of the vagina. It’s a simple, painless, solution that lasts over time. The anesthesia is not necessarily general and the stay in the hospital or the clinic very short (outpatient surgery). The pain is moderate and a return to work possible the next day or the day after. The main risk is injury to the urethra during the injection procedure. This technique is performed for moderate vaginal laxity. The result is immediately visible but it is important to understand that 30% of the injected fat will be absorbed within 3 months of the procedure. The remaining 70% will remain permanently, however
Hyaluronic acid:
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in the body and absorbable. The principle is exactly the same as for lipofilling except that in the present case there is no need for anesthesia other than local and the hyaluronic acid is absorbable, that is to say that it will disappear over time ( on average 12 months). The injections must therefore be repeated every year.
