Breast Fat Transfer

What is Breast Fat Transfer?

Breast fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or autologous fat transfer, is a natural breast enhancement procedure that uses the patient’s own fat to add volume and improve shape. This technique provides a subtle, natural-looking enhancement without the need for implants. It is ideal for those seeking a modest increase in breast size, improved symmetry, or contour refinement after breast surgery.

This procedure offers:

• Natural results with a soft, natural feel.
• Dual benefit of body contouring and breast enhancement.
• Minimized risk of rejection since it uses the patient’s own tissue.

How is the Procedure Performed?

Breast fat transfer involves three key steps:

1. Liposuction & Fat Harvesting

   • Fat is gently removed from donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using advanced liposuction techniques.
   • The harvested fat is carefully processed and purified to remove excess fluids and impurities, ensuring only the healthiest fat cells are used.

2. Fat Injection into the Breasts

   • The purified fat is strategically injected into different layers of the breast tissue to ensure smooth, even distribution.
   • This step is performed with precision to enhance shape, symmetry, and volume while maintaining a natural look.

3. Post-Procedure Care

   • Patients wear a supportive bra to aid healing and reduce swelling.
   • Avoiding pressure on the breasts is recommended to allow the transferred fat to establish a healthy blood supply.

Who is a Good Candidate?

This procedure is best suited for:

• Women seeking a subtle, natural-looking breast enhancement (1-2 cup size increase).
• Patients who prefer an alternative to implants.
• Individuals with adequate fat deposits for harvesting.
• Women looking to correct asymmetry or minor breast irregularities.
• Those in good overall health and with realistic expectations.

Recovery & Results

• Swelling & Bruising:
  • Some swelling and bruising last for 1-2 weeks, both in the breasts and the fat donor areas.
• Return to Work:
  • Most patients resume light activities within 3-5 days and return to work in about 1 week.
• Final Results:
  • Initial results are visible immediately, but the final shape and volume settle in 3-6 months.
• Longevity:
  • A portion of the transferred fat will be naturally absorbed by the body within the first 3 months, but the remaining fat provides permanent enhancement.

Risks & Considerations

Breast fat transfer is a safe and minimally invasive procedure, but as with any surgery, there are potential risks:

• Fat absorption – Some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed, requiring a touch-up procedure.
• Temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort.
• Irregularities or asymmetry, which are rare with an experienced surgeon.
• Fat cysts or calcifications, which are generally harmless but may be detected on future mammograms.
