What is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a procedure to increase the size of your breasts. It is also known as Boob Job or Breast enlargement surgery. The enlargement is usually done with silicone breast implants. Read more about it here.

Breast enlargement can also be done using your own fat taken from another body part. This procedure is called Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting or Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation. It is a good option for women looking for more natural results and for women who wish to avoid having silicone implants.

Breast augmentation helps in restoring breast volume lost after pregnancy, improving the shape of the breasts and correction of sagging breasts to some extent.

Who is the right candidate for Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting?

You are a good candidate for Augmentation Mammoplasty with Fat Grafting if –

  • You have excess fat deposits around your tummy or thighs
  • You are concerned about the size or shape of your breasts
  • You feel that your breasts are small and you would feel better if they were larger or shaped better
  • You feel that the upper portion of your breasts should have been fuller
  • You prefer a more natural result or a modest size increase of your breasts
  • Your breasts have an unsatisfactory, tubular shape or are different on the two sides
  • Your breasts have lost shape or firmness and appear deflated after your pregnancy or weight loss
  • You have realistic expectations regarding the results and are undergoing the procedure for your own satisfaction
  • You are otherwise healthy with no major medical or surgical illnesses

What Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation surgery can do?

Fat Transfer Breast augmentation will increase the size of your breasts immediately after the procedure. They will appear larger and more rounded. The shape of your breasts will improve and the upper portion will become fuller. The breasts will be firmer and somewhat more lifted. Asymmetry on the two sides and unappealing, tubular shape can be corrected. It enhances your self-image and improves your self-confidence.

The result of Breast Enlargement with Fat Grafting is a more natural appearance and feel of your breasts. Risks are also reduced, as silicone implants are not needed.

What Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting can’t do?

Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting cannot correct breasts that are sagging a lot. A Breast Lift surgery is needed to make sagging breasts look firmer and lifted. Usually a Breast lift can be along with an Augmentation Mammoplasty in the same surgery, or it may require a separate procedure. Dr Siddharth will help you make this decision during your consultation.

Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting also cannot make a huge increase in the size of your breasts. The enlargement is modest and natural.

What is Autologous fat transfer or Fat Grafting?

Fat grafting begins by taking extra fat from certain body parts like the front and sides of the belly, the thighs or the hips. This process is called Liposuction and has the added benefit of making those parts slimmer.

The harvested fat is processed and purified and injected into the targeted area, like the breast or buttock or face. The harvest and the injection are done by a specialized technique to minimize fat injury and get the best possible result

How much increase in Breast size can I get after Breast augmentation with fat grafting?

Your breasts can usually be enlarged to a modest size. A one or two cup size increase is definitely achievable. A very large size may not be possible in one sitting. Dr Siddharth will guide you in the decision-making.

How to prepare for Fat transfer Breast Augmentation surgery?

After you decide a date for the surgery, you will be advised some basic blood tests. Dr Siddharth will review your current medications, vitamins and herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drug use. You may need to stop certain medications and stop smoking for a while. Measurements will be taken and a customised garment may be needed.

What are the steps involved in Breast Augmentation with Fat grafting?

Breast augmentation with fat grafting is usually most comfortable under general anesthesia. Tumescent solution is put into the donor areas like the tummy through tiny ‘key holes’. This makes the area numb, reduces bleeding and ‘softens’ the fat. Then through the same ‘key holes’, the fat is suctioned out, taking care not to damage it. The next step is purification and preperation of the fat. Then the fat is injected into the breast to ensure even spread, maximum survival and an appealing shape.

There are no cuts or stiches in this entire procedure!

What to expect immediately after Breast Augmentation with fat grafting?

You will be comfortable enough to walk around immediately after the procedure. You may go home the same day and resume normal daily activities. Your breasts will be strapped in a supportive dressing, and you will be advised to wear a tight corset over the donor area for a few weeks. Basic antibiotics and analgesics will continue for 3 to 5 days.

How soon will I return to normal daily activity after Fat transfer Breast Augmentation?

Normal daily activities resume immediately. You may experience mild discomfort or soreness and may wish to take it easy for a few days. This is noticeable mostly on movement and is easily controlled with oral medication. In a week’s time most of the medications can be stopped. You should avoid vigorous activity for two weeks and aerobic upper body exercise for four weeks to allow comfortable healing.

When will I see results after my Fat transfer Breast Augmentation?

You will appreciate the difference in the size of your breasts immediately. You will be advised to wear a supportive bra for about 4 weeks. This helps in minimizing jerks and ensuring maximum fat uptake.

Immediately after the operation, your breasts will appear a bit swollen. Once the swelling has reduced, the breasts will settle to a more natural and appealing size and shape.

Which other surgeries can be combined with Fat transfer Breast Augmentation?

Procedures like a Liposuction of multiple body areas or a Tummy tuck may be done at the same time. Buttock augmentation with Fat or Brazilian Butt lift is a commonly done surgery.

Breast enlargement may be combined with a Breast Lift or a Mastopexy to make them more shapely.

What are the risks associated with Fat transfer Breast Augmentation?

Maximum survival of the grafted fat is unpredictable. Sometimes, more than one sitting may be needed to increase the size of the breasts to your desire.

Some adverse effects associated with the surgery include bleeding, infection, hematoma, seroma or fat loss. These are uncommon in experienced hands.

Some long-term risks in a small number of patients include lumps, cysts and aesthetic irregularities. No serious side effects are expected with this procedure.

What about scars and feel of the breasts after Breast Augmentation with fat grafting?

The best part about this procedure is that there are no cuts, stiches or scars! In fact, no one will be able to tell that you have had a breast augmentation done.

The next big advantage is the natural feel and shape of the breasts. As the enlargement is with your own fat, the feel is completely normal. The shape is more natural and pleasing than with implants.

Other long-term risk factors associated with silicone implants are also avoided by choosing this method.

How long will the results last after Breast augmentation with fat grafting?

The enlargement achieved with Fat transfer Breast augmentation will last you a lifetime. After optimum fat uptake, there is no more fat loss or shrinkage. Age, pregnancy and weight loss continue to affect the shape of your breasts as usual.

How to choose the best Plastic Surgeon for Breast Augmentation with Fat grafting?

Fat grafting is a specialised process and your plastic surgeon also needs to be an expert at Liposuction. Fat uptake results also differ depending upon the skill of the plastic surgeon.

It is important that you choose the best plastic surgeon for Breast Augmentation with fat grafting in Mumbai. Be sure that your plastic surgeon is fully qualified and board certified. Your plastic surgeon should have additional fellowship training, specifically in cosmetic surgery. He should be well experienced with many cases of different types to ensure perfection. He should be confident to manage minor problems if they arise.

It is also important that your plastic surgeon is easy to talk to, answers your questions diligently and treats you with care and concern. Having a good rapport with your plastic surgeon is essential. He should be available for follow up care and support.

What is the cost of Breast Augmentation with fat grafting in Mumbai?

Fat transfer Breast augmentation surgery in Mumbai is quite affordable. You need to understand that you are getting the benefits of a Liposuction too. Different doctors will also charge you differently according to their own qualification and experience.

Remember that the plastic surgeon’s expertise and experience, along with your comfort with him, is more important than the total cost of the procedure.  Dr Siddharth will discuss these options and formulate a plan suitable for you during your consultion.

Which is the best hospital for Breast Augmentation with fat grafting in Mumbai?

Always choose a reputable hospital which is fully accredited. This way, you can be assured of the highest standards of hygiene, safety and medical care. A well equipped hospital will have a skilled team of anesthetists and nurses to look after you during and after surgery.

For this reason, Dr Siddharth prefers to operate at Lilavati Hospital and Research Center in Bandra west, Mumbai. Lilavati hospital is ranked among the top hospitals in the country. It is run by a private charitable trust, which gives you the quality and comfort of a corporate hospital at very affordable pricing.

Words of Wisdom!

Breast augmentation with fat grafting gives you a very natural looking and natural feeling breast without the long-term risk of an implant. The added advantage is that the donor area undergoes liposuction and gets slim too.

As with any plastic surgery, breast augmentation with fat grafting does not offer any guaranteed outcome. But most patients who undergo breast enhancement are extremely satisfied with their results. Only a small percentage of patients need revision or a second sitting.

Even though Breast augmentation surgery may seem like a relatively simple operation, delivering perfect results with fat transfer involves a long and meticulous process by your plastic surgeon.

Debunking myths associated with Breast Implants!

MYTH – “My breasts will shrink if I lose weight”

FACT – It is not easy to lose breast fat with modest weight loss.

Grafted breast fat is resistant to normal weight loss and will not reduce with small fluctuations.

MYTH – “I can’t breastfeed after this surgery”

FACT – This surgery does not harm your breasts in any way.

There is no ‘damage’ to the breasts as the fat graft is completely natural. Breast-feeding can be normally done. In fact, some techniques of breast augmentation make breast-feeding easier.

MYTH – “I will have no nipple sensations after implants”

FACT – You do not lose nipple sensation.

Fat transfer breast augmentation does not reduce nipple sensation as may sometimes occur after silicone implants.

MYTH – “Breast augmentation causes auto immune diseases or cancer”

FACT – Scientifically proven to be not true.

Numerous studies including thousands of women with breast augmentation have not found any association between implants and systemic or autoimmune diseases. In addition, there is no increased risk of breast cancer in them.

MYTH – “Any surgeon can put in fat, so I’ll chose the best bargain”

FACT – An unsatisfactory result may be impossible to correct.

Fat transfer is a highly skilled procedure and not every surgeon can deliver good results. It takes years of training and loads of experience to ensure safe and appealing results. Unqualified quacks can endanger your health. Read below on how to choose the best plastic surgeon.
