BREAST FAT TRANSFER
Breast Augmentation with your own fat is a surgery aimed at increasing the size of the breasts without the use of implants. The grafted fat can provide more volume throughout the breast, improving overall form and contour.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE?
This procedure is ideal for people who wish to augment their breasts without implants and have enough fat to donate to make an appreciable difference. Since the fat is obtained via liposuction, the patient must also be a candidate for liposuction that will not leave an unpleasant appearance in the areas that donate the fat.
PROCEDURE
Fat transfer involves harvesting fat cells from one part of the body via liposuction. The fat is then processed, cleansed, and injected into the breast tissue. This procedure can be used in primary breast augmentation or in people with existing implants. It is performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately two to three hours. It is important to note that not all of the fat survives the transfer, so the final result of the volume change will not be evident for several months.
RECOVERY
Patients can expect some discomfort and swelling, with normal activity typically resuming in two to four days. However, we recommend limiting physical activity initially, avoiding heavy exercise or sudden movements for at least three weeks.
RESULTS
The results of the fat transfer will be seen after several months when the swelling reduces and the surviving fat has settled. At this point, the breasts will maintain their natural and enhanced shape. It is sometimes necessary to repeat the procedure if more volume is desired after full healing has occurred.
COST
The cost of fat transfer to the breasts can vary depending on the individual needs of the patient but generally ranges from $6,500 – $7,500.
