What is Fat Transfer to the Breast?
100

Fat transfer to the breast is a modern cosmetic procedure that uses the patient’s own fat to improve the shape, volume, and symmetry of the breasts. It is an alternative to implants, offering a more natural result through liposuction and reinjection of fat into strategic areas of the breasts.
This technique is often chosen by women who desire subtle enhancement, a natural feel, and a less invasive intervention, while at the same time addressing unwanted localized fat in other areas of the body.
Benefits of Fat Transfer to the Breast:
- Natural volume enhancement without implants.
- Improvement of breast symmetry and shape.
- Dual benefit: body contouring through liposuction.
- Minimal risk of rejection, as your own tissue is used.
- Natural texture and appearance in the final result.
Multiple Sessions
- Fat transfer may be repeated for gradual volume increase.
- Allows more controlled and natural results over time.
- Useful in cases where part of the transferred fat is absorbed by the body.
- Fat is used exclusively for augmentation and reshaping of the breast.
- Ideal for women who want subtle enhancement with a natural result.
- Does not involve implants.
Autologous Fat Transfer
- Fat complements implants for a more natural feel and improved contours.
- Reduces implant visibility or palpability.
- Suitable for slimmer women with less soft tissue.
Combination with Implants
Types of Procedures
How the procedure is performed
- Review of medical history and aesthetic goals.
- Selection of suitable areas for liposuction.
- Design of the breast area for fat injection.
- Instructions on diet and medications.
- Markings on donor and injection areas.
Usually performed with sedation or general anesthesia.
- Liposuction: Fat is harvested from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks.
- Processing: Fat is purified and prepared.
- Injection: Fat is injected into strategic points of the breast for a harmonious and natural shape.
Small incisions that heal easily without visible scars.
Recovery After the Procedure
- Discharge on the same day.
- Mild swelling or bruising in liposuction and breast areas.
- Wearing of a special compression garment to support the body.
- Avoid strenuous exercise.
- Light activity may resume after the first few days.
- Follow-up visits to monitor healing progress.
- Transferred fat naturally integrates into breast tissue.
- Breast shape stabilizes within 3–6 months.
- Final result is natural and long-lasting.
However, the absorption of transferred fat remains somewhat unpredictable, and several stages are often required for significant breast enlargement. For this reason, in our clinic we do not recommend it as the primary method for major breast augmentation—implants are preferred in such cases. Instead, fat transfer is often used as a complementary technique to correct imperfections (e.g., visible upper pole, double bubble deformity in the lower pole, etc.), or when liposuction is performed for another purpose and there is a minor breast asymmetry or a desire for modest volume increase.
