Breast augmentation with fat transfer, also known as autologous fat grafting or natural breast augmentation, is an alternative to breast implants for breast augmentation . It involves removing fat from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, and injecting it into the breasts to enhance their size and shape. While this procedure can offer more natural results than implants, there are several key things to consider before opting for it:
Natural Results but Limited Size Increase
- Benefit: One of the biggest draws of fat transfer is the ability to achieve natural-looking results because the fat used comes from your own body. The breasts will feel soft and more like natural tissue, unlike some types of breast implants.
- Limitation: The size increase is typically modest, usually about one cup size, depending on the amount of fat available for transfer. This option is ideal for women looking for a subtle enhancement rather than a dramatic change.
A Custom Contouring Solution
One of the biggest advantages of fat transfer is that it’s a two-in-one procedure. The fat used to enhance your breasts is harvested through liposuction, typically from problem areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. This means you not only get fuller breasts, but you also get to slim down those trouble spots, creating a more sculpted overall silhouette. You’re not just transforming your breasts—you’re transforming your whole body!
Subtle Enhancement, Long-Term Satisfaction
While the initial enhancement may seem modest compared to implants, the results are more stable and natural over time. After the fat is injected into the breasts, not all of it will survive the transfer. On average, about 50-70% of the injected fat will remain long-term, while the rest is reabsorbed by the body. Surgeons often overfill slightly to account for this loss. Because the fat integrates into your natural tissue, your breasts will change with your body, whether through weight gain, loss, or aging, leading to longer-lasting satisfaction. Plus, with the removal of unwanted fat from other areas, the overall transformation can be even more dramatic than you might expect.
Fat Availability is Key
Not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. You need to have enough excess fat on your body for the liposuction process. Thin individuals may not have enough fat to harvest for the transfer, which may limit their ability to undergo the procedure.
Is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Right for You?
Breast augmentation with fat transfer can be a great option for women seeking natural results, minimal scarring, and a modest increase in breast size.. However, you’ll need to have enough excess fat to qualify, and you may need multiple sessions if you’re seeking a larger increase in volume.
