Natural Breast Augmentation without Implants

Actual Patient Following Fat Transfer To Breast Procedure By Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong

Fat transfer breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts using your own body fat. Unlike traditional breast augmentation, which uses implants, this method involves removing fat from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, through liposuction.

 

The harvested fat is then purified and carefully injected into the breasts to achieve the desired enhancement. This technique provides a more natural alternative to implants and is often chosen by women who prefer to avoid silicone or saline breast implants.

The Benefits of Fat Transfer to Breasts

One of the primary benefits of fat transfer to breasts is that it utilizes your own body fat, offering a more natural look and feel. This method not only enhances the breasts but also allows for contouring of other body areas by removing unwanted fat. Some of the key benefits include:

 

  • Natural Appearance: Because the procedure uses your own fat, the breasts often look and feel more natural compared to those augmented with implants.

 

  • Enhances Your Overall Figure: This procedure simultaneously improves your overall figure and reduces fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks while enhancing the breasts.

 

  • No Implants: For those concerned about the potential risks or maintenance of breast implants, fat transfer provides a natural alternative that avoids synthetic materials.

By choosing fat transfer to breasts, Dr. Truong or Dr. Lin can help you achieve a natural breast enhancement while also contouring your overall figure, making this procedure an appealing option for many women.

Who is a Candidate for a Breast Fat Transfer?

Ideal candidates are those who:

  • Have enough excess fat in donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips.
  • Desire a moderate increase in breast size, as fat transfer may not achieve the same level of augmentation as implants.
  • Prefer a natural look and feel to their breasts.
  • Are aware that not all the transferred fat will survive; typically, around 60-80% of the injected fat remains long-term.
  • Understand that future touch-ups or secondary procedures may be needed to achieve the desired symmetry or volume.

It's important to understand that fat transfer to the breasts does not add a significant amount of volume. A second fat transfer can be repeated if necessary. Some patients may choose to undergo additional sessions to achieve their desired breast volume or to correct any asymmetry that may occur over time.

 

If you're looking to increase your breast size by two or three sizes or want a noticeable lift, a breast augmentation with implants might be a better option for you.

How Much Fat can be Injected to the Breasts?

On average between 150cc's to 300cc's of fat can safely be injected into each breast with a maximum of 500cc's.

The amount of fat that can be injected into the breasts depends on several factors, including the volume of fat that can be safely harvested from the donor sites, the elasticity of the breast skin, and the patient’s desired outcome.

Typically, only a modest increase in breast size is achieved, as larger amounts of fat may not fully survive the transfer process. Additionally, some swelling and natural fat loss may occur, leading to a final volume that is slightly less than expected. Dr. Truong or Dr. Lin will discuss realistic expectations with you during your consultation.

Differences Between Fat Transfer and Breast Implants

When considering breast augmentation, two popular options are fat transfer to breasts and breast implants. While both methods enhance breast size and shape, they differ significantly in approach, results, and considerations. Here’s a closer look at how these options compare:

Fat Transfer

This technique uses your own body fat, harvested through liposuction from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The fat is purified and injected into the breasts, typically increasing the breast size about one cup size. It is ideal for those wanting a natural, and modest enhancement.

Breast Implants

This involves the surgical placement of silicone or saline implants to achieve your desired breast size and shape. Breast implants offer more dramatic results with the ability to increase size by two or more cup sizes. Implants can also create a rounder, lifted appearance.

What are the Risks?

A fat transfer to breasts is considered safe when performed by an experienced surgeon, there are some risks that you should be aware of before considering this procedure:

 

  • Incomplete Fat Survival: Not all of the transferred fat cells will survive; some may be reabsorbed by the body. This could lead to the need for additional procedures to achieve the desired fullness.
  • Asymmetry: Due to uneven fat absorption, there might be a slight asymmetry in breast size or shape, potentially requiring correction.
  • Calcification: In rare cases, some of the fat may calcify, leading to small lumps that can be mistaken for breast cancer during mammograms. This may result in the need for further investigation.
  • Inconsistent Results: The breasts may not achieve the same round, lifted shape that silicone implants provide, and the results can vary depending on the individual’s skin elasticity and the amount of fat injected.

"Dr. Truong and his team was so amazing. I’m so happy I picked him to be my surgeon. They made me feel so comfortable from the very beginning until the end. Lauren and Monika was great with answering any questions or concerns I had, no matter the time of day they responded right away. I trusted my surgeon (Dr.T) and he didn’t let me down. Thanks to him I now have the confidence that I was missing. I love my results and couldn’t be more happier. Thanks Dr.T!!!"
