Fat Grafting

During a fat grafting procedure for cosmetic breast enhancement, fat is harvested from donor sites such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs using gentle liposuction techniques. The harvested fat is then processed to remove impurities and excess fluids before being carefully injected into the breasts to achieve the desired volume and shape.

Unlike breast implants, which are artificial devices inserted into the breasts to increase volume, fat grafting uses the patient's fat cells for augmentation, resulting in a more natural look and feel.

Good candidates for fat grafting in cosmetic breast procedures are individuals who desire subtle to moderate enhancement of their breast size, shape, or symmetry. Candidates should have sufficient donor fat available for harvesting, be in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the procedure's outcomes.

The results of fat grafting in cosmetic breast procedures are typically natural-looking and long-lasting. While some initial volume loss may occur as the body absorbs some injected fat, the remaining fat cells usually integrate with the surrounding tissue, providing a sustainable enhancement to the breasts.

Yes, fat grafting in cosmetic breast procedures can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve comprehensive results. For example, it is commonly performed alongside breast lift surgery or augmentation mastopexy to enhance breast volume and shape while lifting and reshaping the breasts.

Fat grafting is considered a safe and effective procedure with high patient satisfaction rates when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon in an accredited facility.
