Redefine Your Shape

What is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

Breast fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a technique that uses fat from your own body to enhance your breasts, offering a natural alternative to breast implants. First, fat is taken from areas like your tummy, thighs, or flanks through liposuction. This fat is then purified and carefully injected into your breasts, giving you a natural look and feel without the use of implants. This procedure not only enhances your breast size but also contours the donor areas, providing a dual benefit.

Natural, Beautiful Results

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Benefits

This treatment offers several benefits, including:

  • Natural Look and Feel: Since it uses your own fat, the results look and feel very natural.
  • Enhanced Breast Volume: Fat transfer can restore lost fullness and enhance breast volume, providing a more youthful appearance.
  • Dual Benefits: You get the added benefit of body contouring from the liposuction.
  • Reduced Risk: There’s a lower risk of allergic reactions or rejection since the fat comes from your own body.
  • Minimal Scarring: The procedure involves small incisions, leading to minimal scarring.
  • Improved Confidence: Many patients feel more confident and satisfied with their body image after the procedure.
  • Long-Lasting Results: The results of fat transfer can be long-lasting with proper care and maintenance.

Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation, Dr. Fortes will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and determine if you're a suitable candidate. Preparation for the procedure includes:

  • Medical Evaluation: A thorough medical evaluation to ensure you are a good candidate.
  • Medication Adjustments: Avoiding certain medications and supplements that can increase bleeding.
  • Lifestyle Changes: Stopping smoking to improve healing and reduce the risk of complications.
  • Preoperative Instructions: Following specific preoperative instructions provided by Dr. Fortes, which may include fasting and arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure.

Finesse Your Fat

Procedure

The procedure involves two main steps:

  1. Liposuction: Donor fat is taken from specific areas like your abdomen, thighs, or flanks using a numbing agent or anesthesia. Dr. Fortes uses advanced liposuction techniques to carefully remove fat cells while contouring the donor areas.
  2. Fat Injection: The purified fat cells are carefully injected into your breasts to enhance volume and shape. This fat removal process involves taking fat from donor sites and injecting it to achieve aesthetic goals. The entire fat transfer procedure, which includes both liposuction and fat grafting, usually takes a few hours, depending on the amount of fat being transferred and the desired breast size.

Combining Your Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation with a Breast Lift or Liposuction

Combining fat transfer with a breast lift or additional liposuction can enhance your results. A breast lift addresses sagging, providing a more youthful contour, while liposuction further refines body contours. Doing these procedures together often means you get more comprehensive results with just one recovery period. Dr. Fortes will discuss the benefits of combining procedures and help you decide the best approach to meet your aesthetic goals.

  • Compression Garments: Wearing compression garments helps reduce swelling and supports the new contours, especially at the liposuction sites.
  • Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Fortes to monitor your healing and address any concerns.
