Breast Fat Transfer Augmentation
Breast Fat Transfer Augmentation in Surrey, B.C.
Discover a natural alternative to traditional breast implants with a breast fat transfer at the Plastic Surgery Group. This innovative procedure uses your own body fat to enhance breast size and shape, offering a dual benefit of slimming areas where you have unwanted fat. This approach is ideal if you are seeking a moderate increase in breast size and a highly natural feel.
Benefits of Breast Fat Transfer
Choosing breast fat transfer offers several unique advantages:
- Natural Look and Feel: Since the augmentation uses your own fat, the results are soft and natural to the touch, without the risks of implant-related complications.
- Improved Body Contour: Fat is harvested from other areas of your body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips, which means you benefit from contouring in these areas as well.
- Minimal Scarring: Fat transfer involves only small incisions at the liposuction site and at the injection sites on the breasts, leading to minimal scarring.
- Reduced Adverse Reactions: As the procedure uses your own body fat, there is an even lower risk of side effects, which can occur (although rare) with synthetic implants.
Ideal Candidates for Breast Fat Transfer
Ideal candidates for this procedure are individuals who:
- Desire a modest increase in breast size and are looking for natural results.
- Have sufficient fat deposits in other body areas for fat harvesting.
- Are not looking for the dramatic change that implants might provide but rather a subtle, natural enhancement.
- Are in good health overall and have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure.
Breast Fat Transfer Procedure Explained
Breast fat transfer is a two-step process. First, fat is harvested from your chosen areas (often the abdomen, thighs, and flanks) using liposuction. This fat is then purified and prepared for injection. Under local anesthesia, the processed fat is carefully injected into your breast tissue to achieve the desired volume and contour. The procedure generally takes between two to three hours, depending on the amount of fat being transferred.
Breast Fat Transfer Recovery and Results
Recovery from a breast fat transfer involves mild to moderate discomfort (manageable with pain medication) from both the liposuction and injection sites. Swelling and bruising are common but typically subside within a few weeks. You can typically return to normal activities within a couple weeks, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for up to a month.
The augmentation is immediately visible, although your final results will become apparent later once the swelling has diminished. It’s important to note that some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by your body, and the initial fullness might decrease somewhat. However, the remaining fat will continue to behave naturally and change with weight fluctuations.
