Breast augmentation is a widely known cosmetic procedure done by plastic surgeons for candidates looking for fuller breasts. It continues to be the number one procedure performed throughout the nation. But what if you aren’t necessarily looking to have breast implants placed? Then, fat transfer breast augmentation might be an option for you.
What is a fat transfer breast augmentation?
Fat transfer breast augmentation uses liposuction to take fat from other parts of your body (usually comes from tummy, thighs, or flanks) and injects it into your breasts, creating a fuller breast shape without implants. It allows you to receive fuller breasts while using your own, natural fat cells and slimming down those “problem areas”. About 50-60% of the fat transferred is retained and permanent. Worried about scars? It has no incision, just small ports with a needle that heal with little to no scar. The fat donor site also gets two small incisions that harvest the fat, those too are well hidden with minimal scarring (usually 3mm).
Are you a good candidate?
A good candidate for this procedure is realistic about the outcome – knowing they will only increase about 1 cup size. It’s perfect for anyone looking to receive correction in the size or shape of the breasts, without using implants to completely change them. Also, fat transfer is great for anyone looking for a more natural look to enhance breast shape with minimal scarring.
