Summary
Dermal fat grafts have been utilized in plastic surgery for both reconstructive and
aesthetic purposes of the face, breast, and body. There are multiple reports in the
literature on the male phallus augmentation with the use of dermal fat grafts. Few
reports describe female genitalia aesthetic surgery, in particular rejuvenation of
the labia majora. In this report we describe an indication and use of autologous dermal
fat graft for labia majora augmentation in a patient with loss of tone and volume
in the labia majora. We found that this procedure is an option for labia majora augmentation
and provides a stable result in volume-restoration.
