Weight Loss Drugs Spotlight a 16-Year-Old Solution: Vampire Wing Lift® Addresses “Ozempic Vulva.”
The same PRP + hyaluronic acid synergy behind the Vampire Facelift® now restores volume and function after rapid weight loss.
FAIRHOPE, AL — February 16, 2026 — As GLP-1–based weight-loss medications continue to gain popularity, a new term has entered public discussion: “Ozempic vulva”, referring to volume loss, laxity, dryness, and discomfort that may follow rapid fat reduction in vulvar tissues.
According to Charles Runels, MD, President of the Cellular Medicine Association (CMA) and inventor of the Vampire Facelift® and Vampire Wing Lift® procedures, the solution predates the trend.
“In 2010, my weight-loss patients told me they loved the metabolic benefits but felt they were looking older in the face. That led to the development of the Vampire Facelift®—combining platelet-rich plasma with hyaluronic acid filler to restore both volume and tissue health. The same biologic principles later guided the development of the Vampire Wing Lift® for the vulva.”
From the Face to the Vulva: The Same Regenerative Logic
Rapid weight loss reduces adipose tissue throughout the body. In the face, this produces hollowing and laxity. In the vulva—particularly the labia majora—it reduces natural cushioning, potentially leading to:
- Flattening or deflation
- Increased prominence of the labia minora
- Dryness and irritation
- Chafing and discomfort
- Reduced aesthetic fullness
The Vampire Wing Lift®, developed approximately sixteen years ago as an extension of the same regenerative concepts used in the Vampire Facelift®, combines:
- Hyaluronic acid filler for immediate volume restoration
- Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate collagen formation, angiogenesis, and improve tissue quality
“Weight loss removes the padding. By restoring volume and encouraging healthier blood flow and collagen support, we can improve both appearance and comfort. In many patients, that also enhances sexual pleasure because tissue health and vascular response matter.”
A Rediscovered Technology for a New Conversation
While social media has recently amplified the term “Ozempic vulva,” Dr. Runels emphasizes that the phenomenon is not drug-specific tissue damage but rather the predictable result of rapid adipose reduction.
“The technology was already there. The Vampire Wing Lift® was developed in the same era and from the same reasoning that led to the Vampire Facelift®. It still works.”
The procedure is minimally invasive and performed in medical offices by trained providers. Results vary. Patients should consult with a licensed physician to determine candidacy.
