Breast augmentation with fat transfer is a surgical breast enhancement method designed to amplify the size, volume, and cleavage of your breasts using your own fat. Your fat is removed from an unwanted location of your body and transferred to your breasts, where it is used strategically to shape and contour them.
There are a few advantages to this particular form of breast enhancement that make it a popular choice among our patients in Kansas City:
Breast implants can sometimes look unnatural or fake. Fat transfer breast augmentation is a more natural, more subtle form of breast enhancement that uses your own fat—no external plastics, chemicals, or materials.
Because this procedure uses your own fat, it eliminates the complications that can be related to implants. In this procedure, your body will recognize its own fat and will not react to it. Some patients who have obtained breast implants have suffered adverse reactions to the chemicals and materials contained in their implants; with fat transfer augmentation, this is not an issue.
This procedure is, in fact, a two-in-one procedure that offers two major benefits. The fat that is used to enhance and shape your breasts can be taken from a different area of your body where it is unwanted—such as your stomach, thighs, arms, or back. Many of our patients use this procedure to remove fat in these common problem areas.
Many of our patients are eligible for this procedure. All patients considering a breast augmentation fat transfer must be healthy adult individuals who meet one or more of the following conditions:
Of course, not everyone is a good candidate for fat transfer breast augmentation surgery in Kansas City. This procedure is not ideal for pregnant or breastfeeding patients, as well as patients with certain chronic health conditions. To learn more about your eligibility for this breast enhancement surgery, consult with one of our knowledgeable plastic surgeons.
The procedure will take approximately three to four hours, will take place at our surgery center in Kansas City, and will performed by one of our top plastic surgeons.
Your fat transfer breast augmentation will begin with liposuction to remove and purify the fat from the target body region. Most people wish to remove fat from the stomach, legs, arms, or back. The removed fat will then be purified and re-injected strategically into your breasts. This is a very meticulous and precise procedure; not only is medical expertise required to ensure that this process is completed correctly, but a certain degree of aesthetic artistry is required to achieve beautiful, exquisite results. One of our highly skilled plastic surgeons will take care to emphasize your breast perkiness, roundness, and contours with every injection.
Immediately after your breast augmentation through fat transfer surgery, your breasts will appear firmer and fuller. We will do our best to ensure that incisions are as carefully concealed as possible, though, over time, they should fade away.
Most patients can expect a recovery time of approximately one month after their fat transfer breast surgery in Kansas City. Your exact recovery time will depend on individual factors such as your age and health. It is critical that during this time, you avoid exercise, vigorous movement, or movement that forces you to exert your chest muscles. Rest and relaxation are essential during your recovery.
While you will notice your fuller breasts immediately after your procedure, your final results will take a couple of months to settle in.
Yes, fat transfer breast augmentation can deliver permanent results. A majority of the fat that is injected into your breasts will be incorporated permanently. The injected fat is real body fat and will act in exactly the same manner: if you gain weight, these fat cells will enlarge, and if you lose weight, these fat cells will shrink. Therefore, if you want to prolong your results, you must keep your weight consistent. One aspect of this procedure that of our patients enjoy is how natural the breasts feel—your enhanced breasts will feel like real breasts because your fat is being used to enhance them.
Of course, you can ensure that your results are well-cared for with a good, healthy diet and an active exercise routine. You may also be scheduled to come into our Kansas City office for follow-up appointments after your fat transfer breast augmentation as your dedicated plastic surgeon monitors your progress.
Many patients who are considering their options for breast enhancement struggle between choosing fat transfer augmentation or surgical implants.
Surgical breast implants are the tried-and-true method to enlarge breasts and enhance cleavage. However, many patients want to avoid silicone or permanent implants. With fat transfer breast augmentation, our Kansas City plastic surgeons can precisely apply the fat injections to strategic areas of the breasts to deliver balanced and proportional results to your body frame. These results can also be personalized to your specific needs by delivering fat to where you need it the most. Fat transfer breast augmentation also allows for very natural, subtle-looking breast enhancement. Since the fat is already yours to begin with, the results will also feel very natural—exactly like your own breasts. This procedure can be a comforting alternative for those who think that breast implants are too hard, too rigid, and unnatural-feeling.
If you want all the benefits of breast enhancement—without the obvious look of implants—fat transfer breast augmentation may be ideal for you. Fat transfer breast augmentation surgery delivers natural-looking results with ample roundness, fullness, volume, and cleavage.
