Ah, vaginas. Such wondrous, majestic, and straight-up magical orifices on our body that we just can’t resist messing with. And no, we’re not talking about your tame little vajazzle session or the mermaid design you intricately shaved into your pubes—hey, people do that, OK?—but a new “trend” of labia puffing, a.k.a. the fun little act of injecting (your own) fat into your lady bits for a younger, happier glow. Or so we assume.

“The vagina, like the rest of our bodies, loses volume and fullness with age, as well as elasticity of the skin,” explains plastic surgeon Jennifer Walden to the Daily Star. “Plumping the labia majora gives it a more youthful appearance.” Yeah, it sounds just as fun as it probably feels.

But anything that can give you a new, shiny vagina in just one speedy office visit isn’t going to come cheap: the procedure can cost up to $3,500, which makes other fillers and injectables look like chump change. Still, the possible benefits of having a “restored” labial appearance—especially after childbirth or menopause—greatly outweighs any costs or discomforts.
