Fat transfer breast augmentation results are designed to be long-lasting.

Your breasts will still change with aging and weight changes, and your surgeon will explain what to expect.
Yes, fat transfer breast augmentation moves fat from areas of your body with excess fat to your breasts. It is suitable for people who have fully developed breasts, are in good overall health, want a modest increase in breast size, and prefer to avoid implants. You also need enough excess fat to use, and your surgeon will evaluate whether this approach fits your goals at your consultation.
Fat transfer breast augmentation uses liposuction to remove fat from areas with excess fatty tissue, typically the legs, lower back, or stomach. The fat is then purified and carefully injected into the breasts through small incisions to enhance fullness or create a slight increase in cup size. Your surgeon will explain the type of anesthesia used for your procedure at your consultation.
Movement is possible on the same day, and normal activities can typically be resumed within two weeks. While you heal, avoid putting pressure on your breasts, and expect some swelling and tenderness in the days after the procedure. Your surgeon may advise against certain physical activities for a period and will give you personalized aftercare instructions.
Fat transfer uses your own fat instead of an implant, so it can suit patients who prefer to avoid implants. It is less invasive than traditional breast augmentation and is designed for a subtle increase in volume with a natural look and feel, while implants can create a larger change in size. Your surgeon can help you compare both approaches at your consultation.
