Among the aesthetic procedures performed today, breast augmentation is, without a doubt, the most popular worldwide. The number of women who decide to undergo this procedure increases every day. They are focused on improving their self-esteem and feeling satisfied with themselves or on a change of look.
Patients are always recommended to consult with a specialist and experienced person who can advise them on what type of procedure best suits their needs.
Currently, among the treatments with the most significant demand is
increasing fat transfer. If you want to know more about this fantastic technique, then you should continue reading this blog that we have brought for you.
Breast augmentation with fat transfer
Breasts have been commonly associated with sexuality and femininity. Asymmetrical, huge and small breasts affect self-esteem and confidence in a woman's personal and professional life.
Today, you can add volume to your breasts without using breast implants. Still, the first condition to be eligible for this procedure is that you must have at least one donor area with excess unwanted fat deposits.
It means that the procedure is carried out in two stages. First stage, fat will be collected from the donor areas through liposuction; second stage, the purified fat is reinjected into the breast.
During liposuction, your plastic surgeon will focus on removing fat from the donor areas (usually the abdomen, flanks, and thighs). Once the fat has already been collected, a purification process occurs that produces pure fat, which is then injected into the breasts.
Breast augmentation through fat transfer is, probably, the best option for patients who are afraid or doubting of breast implants and want to obtain a natural look.
Advantages of breast augmentation by fat transfer
The procedure is entirely natural. The main advantage of this method is the use of body fat. During this procedure, no foreign substances are injected into your body. Therefore, there is no risk of having an allergic reaction because it is your own fat.
There are no incisions on the breasts; the only marks left are from small liposuction incisions in the donor areas.
You get double the benefits. Large, better-shaped breasts combined with a slimmer silhouette due to the elimination of excess fat in the donor areas. In other words, by choosing to transfer fat to your breasts, you get the added benefit of eliminating stubborn fat deposits on your body.
The natural results will last for a long time.
The procedure is minimally invasive, because it is a technique that aims to avoid the risks associated with implants.
Increase the volume of your breasts. This surgical procedure can be used to increase the size of your breasts, improve defects or imperfections, and enhance the contour and appearance of your breasts.
Recovery time is short because it is a minimally invasive procedure. The only recovery time necessary is related to liposuction since the fat that is going to be transferred to your breasts must be removed.
Cons of breast augmentation with fat transfer
Like any other procedure, it also has some disadvantages that you should be aware of. These may include:
The final result is very limited and depends on the amount of fat that can be injected into each breast, and also on the amount of fat available in the donor areas.
You will not be able to choose the resulting size of your breasts; the breast volume will increase by one size or one cup. Currently, the only option to achieve a significant proportion is to repeat the procedure until the desired size is achieved.
This procedure has a low survival rate of the fat-transferred cells, as they are reabsorbed by the body over time.
Although the risks are minimal, some patients may develop calcification, cyst formation, and scarring within the breast tissue.
It is necessary to be aware that breast augmentation with fat transfer does not achieve the same results as breast implants. As with many other cosmetic procedures, results may vary from individual to individual for different reasons. The final result depends on how many fat cells were successfully transferred and your body's response to the surgery.
