Fat transfer for breast augmentation is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively enhances the size and shape of small or saggy breasts with a natural appearance. Women who can benefit from this procedure are:

  • Unsatisfied with breast shape or size and desiring larger breasts
  • Experiencing small, saggy breasts after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, hormonal changes, or aging
  • Generally healthy, non-smokers without breast diseases (such as infections, benign or malignant masses, or fibrosis)
  • Possessing reasonable expectations about breast enlargement limitations
  • Having sufficient fat density for harvesting

Women not suitable for this surgery include those who are:

  • Extremely thin with low fat density
  • Experiencing fluctuating body weight
  • Heavy smokers
  • In poor overall health

How does Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Work? 

Fat transfer to breast augmentation is a procedure divided into three main steps: fat harvesting, fat tissue purification, and fat transferring.

First Step: Fat Collection After administering light general or local anesthesia, the surgeon makes a small incision and uses liposuction to suction fat deposits from areas like thighs, buttocks, underarms, and abdomen.

Second Step: Fat Purification The collected fat is processed by centrifugation to purify and prepare it for transfer.

Third Step: Fat Injection The purified fat cells are injected into various sites and depths of the breast using a special syringe. Surgeons typically harvest and inject an extra amount of fat tissue, anticipating that some cells may die or leak before, during, or after injection.
