What is breast fat transfer

Breast fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or lipofilling, enhances breast size and shape using the patient's own fat. Fat is harvested from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, through liposuction. The collected fat is then purified and carefully injected into the breasts to achieve the desired volume and contour. This technique offers a natural alternative to implants, using the body's own tissue for augmentation while also providing the benefit of body contouring in the donor areas.

Is breast fat transfer for me?

Breast fat transfer may be suitable for you if you are looking for a natural way to enhance your breast size and shape using your own body fat. Ideal candidates have sufficient fat in other areas of the body for harvesting. This procedure is perfect for those who prefer a subtle enhancement over implants and also desire the added benefit of body contouring in donor areas

​

If you have any of these wishes, this operation is indeed for you.

During the procedure

During breast fat transfer, fat is harvested from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using liposuction. The extracted fat is then purified to remove any impurities. Once prepared, the fat is carefully injected into the breasts at various depths to achieve the desired volume and shape, and achieve even and natural-looking enhancement. Some patients require multiple sessions to achieve the desired volume gains.
