What to Expect?
Did you ever wish you could transfer fat from your body to your breasts? Well, now you can with a natural breast augmentation with fat transfer! Fat transfer or fat grafting allows you to transfer fat from one area of the body to the breasts. Using liposuction techniques, we can remove fatty tissue from the abdomen, hips, or buttocks and inject it into the breasts to enhance their appearance during a breast augmentation. In some cases, breast implants are used to create an increase in overall breast volume, but the fat transfer provides a more natural contour that also prevents the implants from being seen through the skin.
Natural breast augmentation with fat transfer gives you the opportunity to reduce a “problem area” while enhancing the other. At H/K/B Cosmetic Surgery, we use a new technique for fat grafting that causes less disruption to the harvested fat cells. What does this mean for you? More of the fat that is injected will “take,” which means that less of the fat will be absorbed by the body. When fat is absorbed, it sometimes causes the need for a second injection procedure. Our technique also allows us to perform fat grafting faster than in the past with less downtime for you.
After the fat is harvested, it is treated and then re-injected into the breasts where additional volume is needed. Our surgeons are experts at both liposuction and contouring of the breasts using fat grafting injections during breast augmentation. Complete our online form today to schedule a visit to learn more.
Recovery Time
Recovery from fat transfer along with your breast augmentation is the same as a breast augmentation without fat transfer. Most of our patients are able to return to normal activities within a few days. Lifting and vigorous exercise are restricted for a few weeks, however.
We will provide special instructions to help you recover from your natural breast augmentation fat transfer surgery as fast as possible. You can expect some tenderness and a feeling of tightness. You may also experience some bruising and swelling, but these conditions should resolve quickly, leaving you with the beautiful breasts you’ve always wanted.
