What is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Fat transfer breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world. The procedure allows you to use your own fat from other parts of your body to increase the size of your breasts. Fat transfer breast augmentation is a type of breast enhancement that uses your body’s own fat to increase your breast size. The fat is taken from an area of excess fat in the body and transferred to your breasts, where it is gently distributed with special cannulas to create a fuller and more shapely breast.

What is Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer?
Breast augmentation with fat transfer is a surgical procedure that uses liposuction to harvest fat from one area of the body and inject it into the breasts. It has been used for decades as a way to fill in small defects or improve soft tissue contours. Using it for breast augmentation, however, is relatively new.
Fat transfer breast augmentation utilizes fat grafting techniques to increase the size of the breasts. This is done by taking fat from another area of the body, such as the abdomen, hips or buttocks and injecting it into the breasts. The goal of this procedure is to augment the size of the breasts while providing a more natural feel than breast implants.
The ideal candidate for this procedure is interested in increasing breast volume, but would like a more natural, less artificial look. Women are attracted to fat-transfer breast augmentation because they want a more subtle alternative to implants. Many women are also interested in using their own fat to increase their bust size rather than using an implant.
A fat transfer breast augmentation can be combined with other procedures for a mommy makeover or combination procedure to achieve a more youthful, attractive appearance.
Natural Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer
Fat transfer to breasts is an innovative cosmetic technique that uses your own fat cells to increase the size of your breasts. The procedure is a natural alternative to breast implants, which can provide improved contour and shape with no artificial fillers.
Now there is an alternative method that uses fat from your own body as a breast implant. It’s called natural breast augmentation with fat-transfer.
Natural breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses fat transfer as a breast enhancement technique. This method of enlarging the breasts can also be used after breast cancer reconstruction, to fill in scar tissue, or to even out differences in the sizes of the breasts. Because no foreign material is used in natural breast augmentation, it’s also referred to as autologous fat grafting.
Natural breast augmentation with fat-transfer involves three steps:
First, liposuction is used to harvest excess fat from another area of your body
Next, the harvested fat cells are purified and prepared for injection
Finally, the cells are injected into your breasts, adding volume and shape
Fat transfer can also be used for breast reconstruction after mastectomy or breast cancer surgery to restore appearance and symmetry.
How Much Does Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Cost?
Fat transfer breast augmentation uses liposuction to take fat from other parts of your body and inject it into your breasts. The cost of this procedure is determined by the number of areas you want treated, and how much fat will be moved.
The cost for fat-transfer breast augmentation varies significantly, depending on the factors mentioned above. Typically, the procedure costs between $6,000 and $8,000. The average cost is about $7,000.
Risks of Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
While fat-transfer breast augmentation is certainly a safe procedure, there are risks involved as with any surgery. These include:
● Bleeding
● Fat embolism (a blood clot caused by the fat)
● Changes in nipple and breast sensation
● Asymmetry (differences in size or shape)
● Fat grafts may not survive if they don’t get enough oxygen during the transfer process
Benefits of Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer
- No artificial implants
- Natural looking results
- Improvement in breast fullness and shape
- Results are permanent, long-lasting
Fat transfer procedures can be used for other areas of the body as well, including the buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift), face, hands, and even calves.
Does fat transfer to breasts last?
Having fat removed from areas of the body for transfer to other areas of the body is a procedure that has been done for many years. The main issue with fat transfer to the breast is the survival rate of the fat cells. The survival rate is variable, and there is no good way to predict which woman will have good survival and which one won’t.
The most common complications are lumps (as you are experiencing) and also some asymmetry between breasts. If you are concerned about this, I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon who can evaluate you and help devise a treatment plan based on your individual circumstances.
Is a fat transfer cheaper than implants?
The cost of a fat transfer breast enlargement procedure is dependent on the amount of fat transferred and whether the treatment is combined with other procedures.
A fat-transfer breast augmentation procedure is not cheaper than implants but may offer more benefits. During a fat- transfer breast augmentation, fat is taken from areas where you have excess fat, such as your abdomen or thighs, and injected into your breasts.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), a fat-transfer breast augmentation costs, on average, $6,500. This fee includes not only the surgeon’s fee but also their costs for facility fees, anesthesia fees and all supplies and materials used.
The average cost for silicone breast implants in the United States is about $4,000 for both the surgeon’s fee and surgery center fee. The average total costs for saline implants is $3,900.
This means that a fat transfer breast enlargement procedure costs on average $2,600 more than implants do, which isn’t cheap at all to most people.
Pros and Cons of Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Fat transfer breast augmentation is a relatively new type of breast augmentation, using fat extracted from your body and injected into the breasts. There are several pros and cons of fat-transfer breast augmentation that women should consider before deciding to undergo the procedure.
Pros of Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Fat transfer-breast augmentation is less invasive than traditional breast implants. Incisions are small, allowing for minimal scarring.
Recovery from fat-transfer breast augmentation is usually faster than recovery from traditional breast implants. The procedure takes about an hour for each breast, and most patients can return to work within a few days.
The fat used in fat-transfer breast augmentation is harvested from the patient’s own body (usually the abdomen), so there are no concerns about compatibility or allergic reactions.
Cons of Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Like traditional breast implants, fat-transfer breast augmentation does not last forever. The body eventually reabsorbs some of the transferred fat, so patients will need “maintenance” injections every few years to maintain their results.
Not all patients experience the same level of success with fat-transfer breast augmentation. Some may require multiple procedures or higher doses of transferred fat to achieve acceptable results.
