What Is a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

The desire among ladies to augment their breasts has increased since the first breast augmentation in 1962. Women undergo the procedure to improve breast symmetry, enhance breast volume, or reconstruct the breast after cancer treatment. Implants were the only solutions for breast augmentation in the past. Nowadays, you can choose to have fat transfer breast augmentation.
 

What Is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

It is a procedure that entails the removal of fat from one area of your body and injection into your breasts. The fat will change your breast size and improve its volume. Fat transfer is also called fat grafting or lip modeling. It is the natural solution for restoring your breasts’ shape and volume that might have been lost to surgery, breastfeeding weight loss, and aging. The fat harvested and injected into your breasts can be from the outer thighs, hips, and stomach, among other sections with undesirable fat deposits.
 

Overview of the Procedure

Fat transfer breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure that takes about two hours. The surgeon starts by marking the areas for the harvesting of fat, then injects a local anesthetic on them to make the procedure pain-free. A cannula is then inserted into the sections to draw out fat cells. Unwanted fluid, blood, and impurities are also sucked out to prevent future infections.

The surgeon then makes tiny incisions around your breast’s perimeter into which he or she injects the harvested fat cells. These incisions are afterward closed, and you will spend a few hours in the recovery room. You will need someone to drive you home, and complete recovery takes a few days.
 

Ideal Candidates for the Procedure

Though fat transfer breast augmentation is open to everyone, it is helpful to the following people:
 

  • Ladies looking for subtle breast augmentation and simultaneous liposuction to get rid of stubborn fat cells.

  • Those who want to fine-tune the imperfections of previous breast surgery.

  • Young mothers who do not want more children and wish to restore the breast volume lost during pregnancy and lactation.

  • Ladies who have finished breast cancer treatment and want to restore their breast’s pre-treatment size and shape.
