Fat transfer to the breast, or autologous fat grafting, is a relatively new approach to breast enhancement.
Breast Augmentation with Fat Transferin Austin
What is a natural breast augmentation?
In this approach, fat cells are harvested from an area with excess, such as the tummy, thighs, or flanks. The fat cells are then injected into the breasts to increase volume. Your breasts will be subtly increased in size by your own fat, which integrates into your natural tissue for long-term, soft, entirely natural results. It is often used as an adjunct to those who want a breast lift. Combining the fat grafting with the lift can often enhance the overall shape without adding too much volume. It produces a very natural result.
Benefits of breast augmentation with fat transfer
Fat transfer breast augmentation in Austin offers several advantages over breast augmentation with implants:
- Fat grafting is a two-in-one procedure. It both increases breast volume while slimming away excess fat on the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
- Our surgeons can reshape the breasts with natural fat transfer. Fat grafting is an excellent way to enhance volume on the upper breast or treat breast asymmetry. Unlike implants, the fat can be placed in areas of preference to improve cleavage and upper pole fullness in particular.
- Fat transfer breast augmentation has no risk of leading to capsular contracture as the body does not form a scar-tissue capsule, as is normal with implants.
- Fat transfer breast augmentation avoids the need to place saline or silicone implants. It is a long-lasting procedure, as the fat becomes part of your natural breasts. Implants, over time, may need to be replaced.
- Fat transfer to the breasts is an autologous procedure, meaning it uses fat cells from your own body. These cells are recognized by your system, with very low risk of any reaction. About 50% of the fat will get absorbed.
