Our San Francisco fat transfer breast augmentation procedure, also known as fat transfer, is commonly used to improve contour irregularities after breast reconstruction for breast cancer, but it can be used to create a modest increase in breast size.
Fat Transfer breast augmentation is an attractive option for people who would like larger breasts or improved contour with or without using an implant. Using liposuction, fat is removed from areas of excess such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks and/or hips.
The harvested fat is then briefly processed and then transferred back into the breasts. The fat that remains is alive and part of your body and will change proportionately as your weight increases or decreases throughout your life cycle. An added benefit of fat grafting is a noticeable reduction of fat in stubborn areas of the body as mentioned above. There are also minimal incisions and reduced scarring in comparison to traditional breast augmentation using an implant.
The fat used for fat transfer breast augmentation comes from areas where you might have some extra. Common spots include your abdomen, thighs, hips, or flanks (love handles). Not only will your breasts get a boost, but these areas will get a bit slimmer too—it's a win-win!
This procedure is perfect for women who want a modest increase in breast size without implants. It’s also ideal for improving the shape or fixing any unevenness in your breasts. Additionally, it’s a great option for women who have had breast reconstruction and need help with contour irregularities.
Fat transfer breast augmentation comes with plenty of perks:
You’re a good candidate if you:
After fat transfer breast augmentation in San Francisco, your breasts will look fuller and more shapely. The results are long-lasting, but some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by your body over time. You'll see the final results a few months after the procedure once the swelling has gone down and everything has settled.
Recovery is usually pretty manageable. You might feel sore in both the areas where fat was taken and in your breasts, but most of our San Francisco fat transfer breast augmentation patients are back to their regular activities within a week. Swelling and bruising should go away within a few weeks. Following your surgeon’s instructions will help you heal faster and get the best results.
