What Is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Also known as fat grafting, fat transfer is a procedure in which fat is harvested from one area of the body (such as the hips, flanks, belly, buttocks, or thighs) and transferred to another area (such as the breasts) to add volume. This treatment has the double benefit of slimming areas with stubborn fat deposits and enhancing the breasts in the same procedure. Breast augmentation fat grafting in Boca Raton is a minimally-invasive option for women who want to add fullness and enhance the shape of the breasts without undergoing invasive surgery to place implants.
How Fat Grafting for a Breast Augmentation Works
Our fat transfer breast augmentation in Florida is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthetic or IV sedation.
- The patient is encouraged to start pre operative external expansion of the breast to stretch the tissues and stimulate increased blood flow
- Donor sites (areas of stubborn fat deposits) are selected and marked for treatment
- Excess fat is extracted from the donor sites using a special method of liposuction that preserves living fat cells, connective tissue, collagen and stem cells
- The harvested fat is cleansed and purified and the optimal T cells are selected for injection
- The surgeon carefully injects hundreds of tiny droplets of fat into the breast tissue using an instrument known as a cannula (thin metal tube)
- To further enhance the fat graft, Dr. Becker harvests PRF platelet rich fibrin from the patient's own blood and adds it the fat. PRF is similar to commonly used PRP, however it has a higher concentration of growth factors as well as fibrin
- Dr. Becker prefers to inject smaller quantities of fat at a time thus reducing the risk of nodules and oil cysts
Who Is a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Our fat transfer breast augmentation in Boca Raton may be an ideal solution for women who want to enhance their breasts but prefer to do so using their own natural fat instead of saline or silicone gel-filled implants. However, this procedure may not be appropriate for everyone.
An ideal candidate for fat transfer breast augmentation may be a patient who:
- Desires a modest increase in breast size
- Prefers to avoid invasive surgery, implants, and scars
- Wants to slim other areas of the body while enhancing the breasts
- Does not have significant breast sagging
- Has adequate fat donor sites for the procedure
What Are the Advantages of Fat Transfer over Implants for Breast Augmentation?
Enhancing the breasts using the patient’s own natural fat is an attractive option for many women. As reported in a Science Daily article, breast augmentation with fat grafting increased by 72% in 2016. This procedure has a number of advantages over implants:
- Minimally-invasive procedure
- Can be performed under local anesthesia
- No surgical scarring of the breasts
- No artificial materials or foreign objects implanted in the breasts
- More natural feel than saline or silicone implants
- Avoids potential complications of breast implants, including capsular contracture (a painful condition in which the capsule that forms around the implant contracts, distorting the implant), rippling, and implant rupture
- Uses natural fat, rich in stem cells and producing proteins that improve the texture, pliability, and health of the skin
- Allows patients to remove unwanted fat and slim areas of the body with stubborn fat deposits
