Breast fat transfer or autologous fat grafting, is a procedure that uses the patient’s own fat to enhance breast volume and shape. Fat is harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs, purified and injected into the breasts to provide natural augmentation without implants.

Breast fat transfer can:

• Increase breast volume subtly and naturally
• Improve breast shape and contour
• Correct minor asymmetry between breasts
• Restore volume lost due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss
• Enhance overall body proportion with natural tissue

You may be a good candidate for breast fat transfer if you:

• Are in good health and have adequate donor fat
• Want subtle breast enhancement without implants
• Have realistic expectations about volume increase
• Are prepared to follow post-operative care for optimal fat survival

Fat is harvested via liposuction, purified and strategically injected into the breasts.

General anesthesia is typically used.

Multiple sessions may be required to achieve desired volume.

The procedure generally takes 2–3 hours depending on areas and amount treated.

Possible risks include:

• Swelling, bruising or mild discomfort
• Infection or uneven fat placement
• Partial absorption of fat requiring touch-ups
• Rare complications related to anaesthesia

Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon ensures safe implant placement, natural-looking results, and minimized risk of complications.

Recovery after a facelift requires patience but is generally well tolerated.

• First week: Mild swelling and bruising at donor and recipient sites
• Week 2-3: Most swelling subsides; normal activities can resume
• Weeks 3-6: Fat settles, and contours become more defined
• Months 2-3: Final results are visible with natural, long-lasting breast volume

Breast fat transfer offers a natural, minimally invasive option to enhance breast volume and shape using your own tissue. It provides subtle, long-lasting results with minimal scarring and complements other body contouring procedures.
