What is a fat transfer breast augmentation?
  • A fat transfer breast augmentation uses fat from your own body to enlarge and reshape your breasts.
  • Surgeons perform liposuction to remove fat cells from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or hips via small cannulas and process this fat to transfer to the breast.
  • The processed fat is then injected into the breasts in various planes to increase their size via small injecting cannulas.
Who is a good candidate for fat transfer breast augmentation?
  • Ideal candidates have sufficient body fat for liposuction.
  • Individuals should be in good health and maintain a stable weight.
  • Non-smokers or those who can stop smoking before the procedure are preferred.
  • Not ideal for those seeking a significant increase in breast size or with unrealistic expectations from a single session.
How is fat transfer breast augmentation different from traditional breast implants?
  • Fat Transfer:
    - Uses your body’s own fat cells.
    - Results in minimal scars as fat is injected via small cannulas.
    - May need multiple sessions to achieve desired results as not all the grafted fat cells survive. Roughly about 60 percent of the cells will survive the procedure .
  • Breast Implants:
    - Involves implants filled with saline or silicone.
    - Desired result can be achieved in a single session with a predictable outcome.
    - May require replacement surgery 10-15 years.

What are the potential risks associated with fat transfer breast augmentation?
  • Fat Necrosis:
    - Some fat cells may die, leading to lumps or cysts in the breasts.
  • Fat Migration:
    - Fat cells may move from the breasts to other areas of the body.
  • Infection:
    - There is a risk of infection at both the liposuction and injection sites.
  • Microcalcifications:
    - Fat transfer can cause small calcium deposits in the breasts, which could be mistaken for signs of breast cancer in mammograms.
How long do the results of a fat transfer breast augmentation last?
  • The results are typically permanent as the transferred fat cells which survive after a few months become a part of the breast.
  • Some fat cells may be reabsorbed by the body, but the majority remain and provide a lasting increase in breast size.
What is the recovery process like after fat transfer breast augmentation?
  • Immediate Post-Surgery:
    - Expect pain, swelling, and bruising in the treated areas.
  • Supportive Care:
    - You will need to wear a support bra and avoid physical exertion for a couple of weeks.
  • Long-Term Recovery:
    - Full recovery can take several weeks, with final results visible after four to six months as swelling subsides.

Can fat transfer breast augmentation affect breast cancer screenings?
  • Fat transfer does not increase breast cancer risk.
  • Mammograms may detect microcalcifications from the procedure, which are usually benign but may require further investigation to rule out cancer.
What should I consider before choosing fat transfer breast augmentation?
  • Assess whether you have enough body fat for the procedure.
  • Consider the need for potentially multiple procedures to achieve desired results.
  • Understand the limitations in terms of breast size increase and firmness.
  • Discuss all risks, benefits, and alternatives with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
