Genital Fat Grafting in Gangnam, Seoul, natural volume from your own body
Genital fat grafting moves a small amount of your own fat, usually from the belly or thighs, into the vulva to add volume and soften wrinkles. At Sinsoe Women's Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, female OB-GYNs offer fat and stem-cell volume for the outer lips (labia majora), while other uses of fat grafting must be confirmed case by case. For the vaginal wall, the clinic uses Love Fill-up collagen filler. Message the English-speaking coordinator and a doctor will tell you what suits you.
Availability: Genital fat grafting as a general procedure is not on the confirmed list. Sinsoe does offer fat and stem-cell volume for the labia majora, and Love Fill-up collagen filler for the vaginal wall.

The basics
What is genital fat grafting?
Fat grafting, also called fat transfer, takes fat from one part of your body with gentle liposuction, cleans it and injects it in small amounts where volume is wanted.
In the genital area it is mainly used for the outer lips, to restore fullness lost with age, menopause or weight loss. Some surgeons also use it for the mons or the vaginal opening.
Because the fat is your own, there is no allergy risk. But not all fat survives: part of it is absorbed in the first months, so a second session is sometimes needed.
What it can help with Common reasons for fat grafting
- Thin, deflated outer lips
- Wrinkled outer lip skin
- Volume loss after menopause or weight loss
- Uneven volume between the two sides
- Softening a scar or dent from past surgery
What it is not
- It does not remove loose skin. See labia majora reduction.
- It is not a confirmed vaginal tightening method. See vaginal fillers.
Is it right for you?
Who considers genital fat grafting?
You need enough fat to take from somewhere else, good general health and realistic expectations about how much fat survives.
Consider alternatives if
- You are very slim with little fat to spare
- You want a quick result with no downtime
- Your main issue is hanging skin
- You smoke and cannot stop
Not the right time if you have:
- An active genital infection
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Plans for big weight change soon
As general good practice, cosmetic genital procedures are for adults aged 18 or over who choose them for themselves.

- 5 Rest and follow-up A short rest in a private room on 5F, then home. Your doctor checks the result after the swelling settles.
How to prepare
- Keep a stable weight in the weeks before.
- Stop smoking, as it lowers fat survival.
- Avoid aspirin and fish oil as your doctor advises.
- Bring loose clothes for both areas.
How much fat stays?
Some of the injected fat is absorbed in the first 2 to 3 months. Doctors often inject a little extra for this reason.
The result you see at about 3 months is usually the lasting one. A top-up may be offered if needed.

Does Sinsoe offer genital fat grafting?
Fat and stem-cell volume for the outer lips is offered. Other uses of fat grafting in the genital area must be confirmed with a doctor, so please ask.
How much does genital fat grafting cost in Seoul?
It depends on the area and the amount of fat. The coordinator gives you an estimate after a consultation.
Is fat grafting better than filler?
Fat is your own tissue and can last longer, but needs a harvest and some fat is absorbed. Filler is quicker but fades. Your doctor helps you choose.
Where is the fat taken from?
Usually the belly, flanks or inner thighs, through tiny cuts.
Is the result permanent?
Fat that survives after about 3 months usually stays, but it changes with your body weight.
Does it hurt?
Local or sedation anesthesia is used. Soreness at both sites for several days is normal.
