What Is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Fat transfer breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that removes fat from one area of your body and introduces it into your breasts to enhance their size and shape. Together with Dr. Daugherty, you can choose the best place to remove fat and discuss the optimal surgical options based on your anatomy and desires.
In addition to fat transfer, we also provide breast augmentation with saline or silicone implants. Pairing these methods offers maximum impact with natural-looking contours. Dr. Daugherty uses the Keller Funnel method to perform traditional breast augmentation, which allows her to insert your chosen implant more precisely, with smaller incisions and less trauma to surrounding tissues.
A fat transfer breast augmentation may work well for anyone who:
- Wants a modest increase in breast size
- Has enough fat to transfer
- Prefers a more natural augmentation process
- Has lost volume or symmetry after childbirth or breastfeeding
If you prefer, your breast augmentation can also be part of a mommy makeover — a grouping of procedures designed to restore a feminine figure. Mommy makeovers can also include a breast lift, tummy tuck, labiaplasty, and liposuction.
What Are the Benefits of Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Fat transfer breast augmentation can refine your figure by removing fat from areas with excess and placing it where you want to add more volume. Results from this procedure are evident soon after surgery, but your final breast size and shape will continue settling over the next three to six months as swelling goes down and transferred fat stabilizes.
The fat cells that survive in their new location will be there permanently, and can fluctuate if you gain or lose weight over time.
- Have smaller breasts than they desire
- Want increased fullness after weight loss, pregnancy, or nursing
- Have a noticeable size or shape difference between their breasts
- Improved symmetry
- Fuller, more shapely breasts
- Larger breast size
- Better body proportions
