Natural Breast Augmentation without Implants
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.

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.
