Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgery performed on women today. It can be accomplished using different techniques. These procedures aim to enhance the size of your breasts, providing them more realistic look. Modern technology offers you two different options to increase your breast size: fat grafting and breast implants. Breast implant surgery can produce more obvious results in your breast, while fat grafting procedure offers a smaller but still noticeable change in your breast size. It uses injections to transfer fat from the other areas of your body to your breasts.

Fat Grafting 

Breast augmentation by fat grafting involves the removal of fat from the other parts of your body and injecting it into your breasts. Surgeons have developed the “Lipostructure” technique for this kind of augmentation. This technique is used not just for breast augmentation but also to enhance your breast reconstruction after Mastectomy or Lumpectomy. The procedure takes  3 to 4 hours to be completed.

Fat Grafting Procedure

Fat from unwanted areas like abdomen or thighs must be gently and slowly harvested by hand with a harvesting cannula. The harvested fat is then purified and processed to remove oil, water and blood. The fat is then injected through the tiny incisions using blunt infiltration cannulas. The incisions are then closed.

Advantages of Fat Grafting

Fat is a natural substance from your body therefore it will not be rejected by your body

Fat can be taken from areas like the belly, thighs or waist
