Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation involves harvesting fat from other parts of your body—typically areas with excess fat such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs—through liposuction. The fat is then purified and injected into the breasts to enhance volume and improve contours. This method not only increases breast size but also offers the dual benefit of slimming another area.

This procedure is ideal for those who prefer a modest increase in breast size and are looking for a more natural alternative to implants. Advantages include:

• Use of Natural Material: Since the augmentation uses your own fat, there is no risk of allergic reactions or rejection by the body.
• Dual Benefits: Enhances the breasts while contouring the donor site.
• Minimal Scarring: Injections require only small incisions, resulting in minimal scarring compared to traditional implants.
• Natural Feel: Breasts enhanced with fat transfer feel softer and more natural than those with implants.

Ideal candidates for Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation are those who:

• Have sufficient fat deposits for extraction.
• Desire a natural look with a modest size increase.
• Prefer a procedure with fewer risks and potential complications than those associated with silicone or saline implants.
• Are looking for long-lasting but not permanent results.

The Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and can be completed in a few hours, depending on the amount of fat being transferred. The process involves three key steps:

1. Harvesting: Fat is collected from the chosen area using liposuction.
2. Processing: Fat cells are purified and prepared for transfer.
3. Injection: The processed fat is meticulously injected into the breasts to achieve the desired volume and shape.

Recovery from Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation is generally quicker than recovery from implant surgery, with most patients resuming normal activities within a week. Some swelling and bruising at both the donor and recipient sites can be expected, which typically subsides within a few weeks.

How long will the results last?

Results can be long-lasting, but some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body within the first few months. A follow-up procedure may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome.

What are the risks associated with this procedure?

While generally safer than implant procedures, risks include asymmetry, fat reabsorption variability, and minor contour irregularities at the extraction site.
