Fairhope, AL — As GLP-1–based weight-loss medications such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Zepbound® continue to reshape the treatment landscape for obesity and metabolic disease, physicians are increasingly recognizing an under-discussed consequence of rapid weight loss: significant volume loss and tissue changes in the vulva—now commonly referred to online as “Ozempic vulva.”
While the term is new, the solution is not.
More than a decade ago, physician-inventor Dr. Charles Runels developed the Vampire Wing Lift®, a non-surgical procedure that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with hyaluronic acid fillers to restore volume, improve tissue health, and rejuvenate the labia majora. Today, the procedure is being rediscovered as one of the most anatomically precise and effective treatments for the changes now attributed to rapid pharmacologic weight loss.
“Ozempic vulva is not caused by the medication damaging tissue,” said Dr. Runels. “It’s caused by fat loss—exactly where women rely on that fat for cushioning, protection, and appearance. The Vampire Wing Lift® was designed to restore that lost volume and support healthier tissue.”
A Mechanism-Matched Solution
Rapid weight loss reduces adipose tissue throughout the body, including the labia majora. As volume diminishes, skin laxity increases, the labia minora may appear more prominent, and patients may experience dryness, irritation, or chafing.
The Vampire Wing Lift® addresses these changes directly:

-
Immediate volume restoration with hyaluronic acid filler to re-expand the labia majora
-
Progressive tissue regeneration via PRP-derived growth factors that support collagen, blood flow, and skin quality
-
Improved comfort and function by restoring natural padding and reducing friction
-
Non-surgical, low-downtime treatment suitable for patients already adapting to major metabolic change
Patients and clinicians alike report that results are often noticeable immediately, with continued improvement over the following weeks as tissue remodeling occurs.
A Familiar Answer to a New Question
As public awareness of “Ozempic vulva” grows, many women are being told their options are limited to moisturizers, time, or surgery. The renewed interest in the Vampire Wing Lift® highlights a different path—one that is minimally invasive, biologically rational, and already established in clinical practice.
“What’s happening now isn’t a new condition,” Dr. Runels added. “It’s a new conversation. And it turns out we already had an answer.”
The Vampire Wing Lift® is performed by trained medical providers and uses the patient’s own blood-derived PRP in combination with FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers. Results vary, and patients should consult a qualified clinician to determine candidacy.
