What Is Fat Grafting for Breast Augmentation?
Fat grafting, also known as an autologous fat transfer, is a procedure that uses a patient’s own fat to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. This method offers a more natural approach compared to traditional implants. However, patients may not be able to increase their breast size as significantly as they could with breast implants. Fat grafting can enhance the breasts by approximately one cup size per procedure. For patients seeking a more significant increase in breast size, multiple sessions of fat grafting may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome.
What are the Benefits of Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting is a popular alternative to breast implants because it offers unique advantages, as well as many benefits of its own:
- Natural Look and Feel: Fat grafting uses the patient’s own fat, providing a more natural texture and appearance.
- Avoidance of Synthetic Implants: Some patients prefer to avoid synthetic materials and opt for a more natural approach.
- Body Contouring Benefits: The procedure involves liposuction to harvest fat from other areas of the body, offering the added benefit of body contouring.
- Lower Risk of Complications: Using the patient’s own fat reduces the risk of complications such as implant rupture or capsular contracture.
How Is Fat Grafting Performed?
Fat grafting is usually performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. To begin, Dr. Taylor uses liposuction to harvest fat from donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The harvested fat is then purified to remove any impurities and prepare it for injection.
The purified fat is carefully injected into the breasts to achieve the desired size and shape. Dr. Taylor meticulously sculpts the breasts to ensure a natural and symmetrical result.
