How Is Breast Augmentation Using Fat Transfer Done?

Fat transfer breast augmentation is a natural way of increasing breast volume that is being increasingly opted for nowadays. This article discusses this unique breast enhancement procedure.

The most natural way of increasing the size of a woman's breasts is fat transfer breast augmentation, also known as fat grafting or autologous fat transplantation. The procedure involves the removal of excess fat via liposuction from body parts such as the abdomen, thighs, love handles, back or buttocks and injecting it into the breasts. The removal of excess fat also helps in trimming down the donor area. Plastic surgery centers providing fat transfer breast augmentation are few, and women need to find and consult an experienced and reliable surgeon to ascertain whether they can undergo breast augmentation using fat transfer.

Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer - the Procedure

The surgeon would use advanced and safe devices such as Smartlipo Triplex to carry out liposuction. A small incision is made by the surgeon in the treatment area through which a small cannula is inserted. The cannula carries a laser fiber that delivers laser energy to disrupt excess fat in areas such as the waist, thighs and abdomen. The device uses three unique laser wavelengths to melt the fat. The extracted fat is then processed to purify it and also to ensure the high rate of survival of the viable fat cells. In some cases extra fat cells may have to be injected as survival of all the fat cells injected earlier is uncertain. The success of the procedure depends on various factors such as:

• Existing breast fat and tissue


• Amount of fat needed for the augmentation procedure


• Blood received by the breasts

Results can be witnessed within a period of six months.
