Frequently asked questions
We now have an FAQ list that we hope will help you answer some of the more common ones.
What is breast augmentation with fat injection?
Breast augmentation with fat injection, also known as autologous fat transfer, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves using a patient’s own fat cells harvested from other parts of their body to enhance the size and shape of the breasts.
How is the fat harvested for breast augmentation?
The fat is usually harvested using liposuction from areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. The extracted fat is then purified and prepared for injection into the breasts.
Are the results of breast augmentation with fat injection permanent?
While some of the injected fat may be absorbed by the body, the remaining fat typically establishes a long-lasting enhancement. Results can vary, and multiple sessions may be needed to achieve the desired outcome.
What are the advantages of breast augmentation with fat injection over traditional implants?
Advantages include a more natural look and feel, reduced risk of implant-related complications, and the added benefit of body contouring in the areas where fat is harvested.
Is breast augmentation with fat injection a suitable option for everyone?
Not everyone is a suitable candidate. Ideal candidates are those looking for a modest increase in breast size and have sufficient fat for harvesting. A consultation with a plastic surgeon is essential to determine suitability.
What is the recovery period like after the procedure?
Recovery varies but typically involves some swelling and bruising. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks and wear a special supportive bra. The surgeon provides specific post-operative care instructions.
What are the risks associated with breast augmentation using fat injection?
Risks may include infection, asymmetry, irregularities in fat absorption, and potential complications related to liposuction. It’s essential to discuss potential risks with the surgeon before the procedure.
Can breast augmentation with fat injection correct breast asymmetry?
Yes, this procedure can be used to improve breast asymmetry by injecting fat into the smaller breast to achieve a more balanced appearance.
Are there limitations to the amount of fat that can be injected into the breasts?
There is a limit to the amount of fat that can be injected in a single session. The surgeon will determine the appropriate volume of fat to inject based on various factors, including the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome.
How long does the procedure typically take?
The procedure duration can vary, but on average, breast augmentation with fat injection takes approximately 2 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the case and the amount of fat to be harvested and injected.
