Natural Breast Enhancement Using Fat Transfer

Fat transfer breast enhancement is a procedure which involves adding volume to the breasts using fat from other parts of the body via liposuction.

Fat transfer breast augmentation is an alternative for women who desire larger breasts or correction of asymmetrical or underdeveloped breasts without the use of implants. Fat cells are harvested from one area of the body via liposuction and injected into the breasts to improve size and shape. The most common donor areas are the stomach, thighs, and waist.

The Fat Transfer Process

This process involves two distinct procedures. First, the fatty cells are collected through liposuction. A local anesthetic is injected into the donor site to numb the area and a cannula is inserted through a small incision in the skin to extract the fat cells. The cells are processed and then carefully injected into the space between the skin and the breast capsule surrounding it or behind it between the bust and chest wall.

Fat placement is done utilizing advanced systems such as TouchView™ which provide precise and superior image-guided grafting. It helps the surgeon to measure the extent of tissue deposited and to identify the precise site for fat placement.

Another technology which enhances the results of the fat grafting process is Axis Three. This 3D imaging system allows patients to preview the results of the procedure before it is performed. The platform allows the surgeon to estimate the extent of fat needed for breast enhancement, demonstrate the end results to the patient and plan further interventions. This improves patient confidence.

Result and Recovery

The procedure may take up to three hours to complete. Any swelling and soreness normally resolves over a few weeks. Full results will be visible after 6 months, which could be a long-term increase in volume of about one half cup size to full cup size. Strenuous activities must be avoided for about 4-6 weeks.
