Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer and a Lift: An Alternative to Implants

Breast augmentation is a popular choice for women seeking to enhance their breast size and shape. However, for our patients who don’t want implants, and need a moderate size increase, breast augmentation using fat transfer is an excellent option. This innovative procedure offers a dual benefit: enhancing the breasts’ appearance while contouring other areas of the body. Add a breast lift, and our patients enjoy a younger looking, perkier silhouette.

Fuller. Higher. Better. No Implants — That’s what you can accomplish when you have breast augmentation with fat transfer and a breast lift.

What is fat transfer breast augmentation with a lift?

Fat transfer involves harvesting fat from one area of your body (such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks) and transferring it to your breasts. This technique lets me enhance breast volume, reshape the breasts, and address mild sagging. 

The procedure uses your body’s natural fat cells, making it an appealing option for women seeking subtle, natural-looking results without implants, plus body sculpting areas with pockets of unwanted fat.

What’s involved

This is a multiple step procedure. Under general anesthesia, I harvest fat from the requested donor site, inject the fat into the breasts to enhance size and symmetry, and perform a breast lift. Let’s look at each step.

1. Harvesting the fat: I make a small incision in the donor site. Typical sites include the abdomen, thighs, and flanks. Think of it as a great way to have targeted lipo! Next, we purify the harvested fat, and prepare it for transfer.
2. Injecting the fat: I carefully inject the purified fat into specific areas of the breasts to enhance their shape and volume.
3. Breast Lift (Optional): For women experiencing sagging, I also perform a breast lift. This involves tightening the surrounding tissue and repositioning the nipples and areola for a natural look while removing excess skin to achieve a firmer contour.

With our non-narcotic anesthetic protocol, most of our patients experience minimal discomfort and a much easier and faster recovery.

Benefits

• Natural Results: Since the procedure uses your own fat cells, the results are softer and feel more natural blending seamlessly with your body. And a lift gives you improved breast shape and symmetry.
• Body Contouring: Liposuction for fat harvesting slims and contours areas like the abdomen or thighs, enhancing your overall silhouette.
• No Implants, No Maintenance: Fat transfer eliminates the risk of implant-related complications such as rupture, capsular contracture, or the need for future replacements.
• Lower Risk of Allergic Reactions: Using your body’s tissue reduces the risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
