Fat transfer breast augmentation, also known as natural breast enhancement, is a procedure that uses your body’s own fat to enhance the size and shape of your breasts. Dr. Khalil specializes in this minimally invasive technique, offering a more natural alternative to traditional breast implants.
What is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
In this procedure, fat is removed from areas of the body where it is unwanted, such as the thighs, abdomen, or flanks, through Liposuction. The fat is then purified and injected into the breasts to increase volume and improve contour. Unlike implants, fat transfer uses your own tissue, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or rejections.
Benefits of Fat Transfer Breast Enhancement
- Natural Results: Since the procedure uses your own fat, the results tend to look and feel more natural than silicone or saline implants.
- Dual Benefits: Fat is removed from areas where you want to slim down, providing both breast enhancement and body contouring.
- Minimal Scarring: Unlike traditional implants, fat transfer involves small incisions, resulting in minimal scarring.
- Lower Risk of Complications: There’s no risk of implant rupture, capsular contracture, or allergic reactions since no foreign materials are used.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Dr. Khalil will begin by performing liposuction to remove fat from the donor area. This fat is processed to remove any impurities, leaving only healthy fat cells. Once purified, the fat is carefully injected into your breasts, allowing for precise shaping and volume enhancement. The entire procedure is typically done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation and usually takes a few hours to complete.
Recovery and Results
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising after the procedure, which should subside within a few weeks. Dr. Khalil will provide personalized recovery instructions to ensure optimal results. You may be able to resume light activities within a few days, though strenuous activity should be avoided for several weeks. Results are typically visible once the swelling subsides, and the fat cells that survive the transfer will remain permanently.
It’s important to note that not all transferred fat cells survive, and your body may absorb a portion of the fat, meaning multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the results last?
The fat that survives the transfer is permanent. However, changes in weight and aging can affect the appearance of your breasts over time.
Is fat transfer breast augmentation safe?
Since this procedure uses your own fat, the risk of complications such as allergic reactions or implant rejection is significantly reduced, making it a well-tolerated procedure for most patients.
Am I a candidate for fat transfer breast augmentation?
Good candidates are generally in good health, have adequate fat deposits for harvesting, and seek a modest increase in breast size.
How much breast volume can I expect to gain?
Typically, patients see an increase of about one cup size per procedure. For a more significant increase, multiple sessions may be required.
Will there be any scarring?
The small incisions for liposuction and fat injection leave minimal scars that typically fade over time.
