Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation in Houston
Want fuller breasts but don’t want implants? It’s possible to increase breast volume by injecting your own fat. This is known as fat transfer breast augmentation or breast grafting.
How Fat Transfer to Breast Works
Fat transfer to the breast, also known as breast lipofilling, involves using liposuction to harvest fat from other areas of your body. The extracted fat is then filtered, and the healthiest fat cells are injected using a specialized technique to enhance breast volume. This method can lead to a considerable increase in breast size, making it an excellent choice for women who are hesitant about using saline or silicone implants.
Fat Transfer vs. Breast Implants
Fat transfer breast augmentation offers a unique alternative to traditional breast implants. This procedure uses your own body fat to enhance breast volume and shape. It begins with liposuction, where fat is harvested from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or hips. The purified fat is then injected into the breasts, resulting in a fuller, more natural appearance while also improving the contours of the donor areas for a more sculpted overall figure.
In contrast, breast implants are made from synthetic materials and come in a fixed range of sizes, which can sometimes lead to a less natural feel and appearance. If you’re uncertain about which option is right for you, Dr. Kutty is here to help you navigate your choices and find the best solution for your goals.
Advantages of Liposuction for Breast Enlargement
One of the great benefits of liposuction for breast enlargement, i.e., breast grafting, is that it not only enhances your breasts but also improves the shape of the areas where fat is harvested through liposuction. This means you could achieve a more flattering figure overall, often better than what you’d get with implants alone.
For those who currently have implants but are looking to remove them, fat transfer is an excellent option to maintain your breast size without the need for artificial implants. In this case, the implants are taken out, and your own fat is injected to restore that volume. Additionally, many women who opt for fat transfer, whether they’re removing implants or not, may also benefit from a breast lift, which can conveniently be performed at the same time as the fat transfer procedure.
Other Considerations
What are the downsides of fat transfer breast augmentation? When fat is removed from one area and filtered, the healthiest fat cells can be used to augment the breast. However, a certain number of those cells won’t survive the journey, and the ultimate volume will be less than what is achieved at the time of surgery.
Fat grafting breast reconstruction, like all fat transfer procedures, comes with risks as well. For instance, it can result in firmer areas that differ from the surrounding tissue and variations in volume retention after injection, leading to asymmetry. Achieving symmetry is especially important for the breasts, as any differences are more noticeable in this area compared to others.
