What is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Fat transfer breast augmentation, sometimes called natural augmentation, uses liposuction to take fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or hips. Once purified, the fat is carefully injected into the breasts to enhance both their size and shape. Unlike traditional implants, this method uses your body fat, providing a natural-looking result.
In addition to enhancing your breasts, the procedure also slims down the areas where the fat is harvested, offering a dual benefit many women find appealing.
Benefits of Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
One of the biggest appeals of fat transfer breast augmentation is its natural approach. Here are some of the key benefits of choosing this option:
- Natural Look and Feel: Using your own fat makes the results of the procedure feel more natural than those achieved with implants. Your breasts will be softer, and the enhancement will be more subtle, making this a great option for those who prefer a modest increase in size.
- Body Contouring Benefits: In addition to enhancing your breasts, liposuction removes fat from other areas of the body. This means you can achieve a more contoured figure overall.
- No Risk of Implant Complications: Traditional breast implants come with certain risks, such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or visible rippling. With fat transfer, these risks are eliminated since there are no foreign materials involved.
- Minimal Scarring: Fat transfer typically involves smaller incisions than implant surgery, resulting in less visible scarring.
- Lower Maintenance: Implants often need to be replaced after some years. Fat transfer can offer lasting results, especially if you keep your weight consistent.
Are You a Candidate for Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Fat transfer breast augmentation is an excellent option for women who want a modest increase in breast size and prefer a more natural look. Ideal candidates include women in good health with realistic expectations for their results.
It’s important to note that this procedure is best suited for those who have sufficient fat in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips for harvesting. If you’re very thin and don’t have enough fat to transfer, implants may still be a better option.
During your consultation with Dr. Jessica Belz, she will carefully evaluate your body type, goals, and health history to determine if you’re a good candidate for this procedure.
