Breast Augmentation by Fat Injection

In-,office, outpatient surgery center procedure

• Increases breast size to a more pleasing, larger breast size

Those who desire increases self-esteem and feeling of well-being

This is a two step surgical procedure done simultaneously

• 1st stage is extracting fat from unwanted body parts via liposuction
• 2nd stage is injecting the patient’s extracted fat back into the same patient’s breasts to enlarge the breasts to the desirable larger size.

Typically one to two hours.

General anesthesia is the preferred anesthesia in this surgical procedure, but local sedation lidocaine can be used

Usually surgical procedures are done only once, but the fat transfer can be repeated to enlarge the breast more if desired.

Yes, there are two sets of incisions

1. The first set of incisions are placed on the liposuctioned body parts, i.e. the tummy when extracting fat from the tummy.
2. The second set are on each breast, usually one or two inconspicuous incisions on each breast

Usually the incision are very tiny, ¼ inch, 1-1.5 centimeters. They will fade with time.

Incisions are generally placed inside the breast crease so that they are not seen when standing since the draping of the breast usually will conceal the breast creases. With passage of time the tiny ¼ inch incisions become inconspicuous when healed.

Ideally 300 milliliters, 10 ounces, is a sufficient amount of fat that can be safely transferred to each breast. The target is to increase breast size about one or two cup sizes.

The answer depends how much breast enlargement you desire. In the past 30 years I have performed this procedure, the largest I have ever injected is 600 milliliters per breast, which is about 20 ounces.

Because it is your natural fat, the feeling to the touch in the breasts is natural.

Surgical procedures produce a permanent change and should not require additional procedures. Office procedures such as fillers and skin care require periodic maintenance
