If you’re curious about breast enhancement but aren’t sold on implants, fat transfer might be worth a conversation. It’s less talked about, but for the right candidate it delivers natural-looking results with a side of body contouring. Consider fat transfer the under-the-radar option in the world of breast augmentation.
Schedule a consultation with Lucia Cagnes, MD, FACOG, at All Cape Gynecology & Sorgente Medspa in Hyannis, Massachusetts, for more information about breast augmentation with fat transfer.
Instead of inserting an implant, fat transfer breast augmentation removes fat from one area of your body (abdomen, thighs, flanks, etc.) and transfers it to your breasts. The result is perkier breasts, natural contours, and slimmer areas from where the fat was removed.
To complete the procedure, she first uses suction to remove fat cells from areas containing excess fat. She then strategically injects the fat into your breasts to enhance shape and volume and to give a nice lift. The result is typically a more natural look and feel compared to traditional breast implants, as it uses your own tissues to boost volume.
Because some cells may die after fat cell injections, Dr. Cagnes can inject more fat than necessary during fat transfer procedures.
Fat transfer works well for people desiring to increase the breast size up to one cup size with a soft, natural enhancement. This procedure can smooth uneven contours to perfect asymmetry. It can also refine the results from a previous breast augmentation.
Expect a number of benefits when you choose fat transfer breast augmentation at All Cape Gynecology & Sorgente Medspa, including:
However, you’ll need to have excess fat to harvest. If you have very little body fat, this surgery might not work as well for you. The results of fat transfer breast augmentation may be a bit more subtle than breast implant surgery.
The results of a breast augmentation with fat transfer procedure can be lifelong. It might take about six months to experience the final results, after the fat cells settle into their new location.
In comparison, women with breast implants may need replacement surgery about every 5-10 years.
If your breasts sag, ask Dr. Cagnes about a breast lift that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) together with fat transfer to enhance a natural lift in your breasts.
