Breast augmentation with own fat

Breast aug­men­ta­ti­on with own fat invol­ves taking fat from ano­ther part of the body, pro­ces­sing it and injec­ting it into the breast. The pro­ce­du­re requi­res no implant and is sui­ted to a mode­ra­te increase in volume.

Appli­ca­ti­on

Fat is first gent­ly har­ve­s­ted by lipo­suc­tion, for exam­p­le from the abdo­men, hips or thighs. After pro­ces­sing, it is dis­tri­bu­ted in many small por­ti­ons across dif­fe­rent tis­sue lay­ers of the breast. The method suits women who want a natu­ral result and have suf­fi­ci­ent fat reser­ves. It is also used to cor­rect minor asym­me­tries or to com­ple­ment implants.

Good to know

Some of the trans­fer­red fat is reab­sor­bed by the body, so a second ses­si­on is some­ti­mes nee­ded. An increase of much more than one cup size per pro­ce­du­re is rare­ly achie­va­ble. Fat that does not take can form oil cysts or cal­ci­fi­ca­ti­ons that show up on mam­mo­grams. The pro­ce­du­re is one appli­ca­ti­on of fat graf­ting.
