It’s a lesser-known method of breast augmentation that offers subtle, beautiful volume using your body’s own fat.
At Tran Plastic Surgery, we understand that every woman’s breast enhancement goals are unique to her aesthetic, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Our double-board certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Dr. Baotram Tran, is honest, empathetic, and supportive, helping every woman feel comfortable with her surgical choices. Dr. Tran and our team believe you deserve options, and today, we shine a light on breast augmentation using fat transfer.
How Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Works
Fat transfer breast augmentation uses fat, not implants, to build breast volume. It’s a two-part procedure starting with liposuction to remove fat from spots where you can spare it, like your abdomen, thighs, or love handles.
After Dr. Tran uses a special process to purify the fat, she expertly carefully injects it into your breasts to enhance size, shape, and fullness.
Fat transfer doesn’t just boost your breasts; it also contours your body. Many people love refining one area while adding volume to another. It’s a two-in-one win.
What Makes Fat Transfer a Popular Choice?
Fat transfer is a popular option for a few reasons:
- No Implants Required: Ideal if you want enhancement without implants
- Natural Look and Feel: Your body recognizes and accepts your fat, so results feel as natural as possible.
- Dual Benefit: Slim down stubborn spots while boosting breast volume.
- Minimal Scarring: Tiny incisions for liposuction and injection mean less visible scarring than with implants.
- Long-Lasting Results: Once the transferred fat establishes blood supply, it can last for years.
- Lower Risk of Complications: Without implants, there’s no risk of implant complications.
The fat transfer could be a great fit if you want a modest size increase with ultra-natural results. Ideal candidates have enough donor fat and typically want a more subtle enhancement.
What to Expect During Recovery
You’ll likely experience some swelling and bruising at both the donor and injection sites. Most people return to light activity within a few days.
Dr. Tran recommends wearing compression garments in the fat donor areas and a supportive post-surgery bra that won’t pressure your chest as it heals.
The body naturally reabsorbs around 50-70% of the transferred fat. That’s normal. But, the fat that remains gives you a significant, natural boost in volume.
After your transferred fat settles in and you see the final results, you can consider a second fat transfer session if you desire additional volume.
