Autologous Fat Breast Augmentation

What Is a Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer?

Breast augmentation with fat transfer is a procedure that harvests you own (autologous) excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, purifies the extracted fat, and then transfers it to the breasts.

This procedure helps reduce unwanted excess fat, improve body contours, and enhance breast volume.

Why Choose BongBong for Your Autologous Fat Breast Augmentation?

01

BongBong Plastic Surgery uses high-end equipment to harvest only healthy, fresh fat cells. The harvested fat undergoes a refined purification process designed to minimize damage to the fat cells and help improve the fat survival rate after transplantation.

02

With more than 500 autologous fat grafting procedures performed annually, BongBong Plastic Surgery has developed advanced techniques for achieving the most effective fat transfer results.

Less Pain,

High Fat Graft Survival Rate

(The survival rate refers to the proportion of transplanted fat that remains attached to the existing tissue. A higher survival rate means better results and longer-lasting effects.)

Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer?

Those who want natural-looking breast augmentation without scars

Those who want to correct breast indentation or asymmetry

Those who want to increase the volume of one breast to improve balance, in cases of uneven breasts

Those whose breasts have lost volume and body fat has increased after childbirth and breastfeeding

Q&A

A. Yes, it is possible. However, if your goal is to increase your breast size by more than one cup, the results may not be as dramatic as expected. Autologous fat breast augmentation involves removing excess fat from other areas of the body, isolating only healthy fat cells, and grafting them into the subcutaneous fat layer of the breasts. While it may be difficult to achieve the same degree of shape enhancement as with breast implant surgery, the procedure can naturally add volume by increasing the thickness of the breast’s fatty tissue.

A. Calcification can occur when fat cells fail to survive after fat grafting and are subsequently absorbed, leaving behind calcified tissue. In particular, calcification may occur when an excessive amount of fat is concentrated in one area due to improper or inexperienced injection techniques. However, at BongBong Plastic Surgery, we reduce the risk of calcification by grafting fat in multiple thin layers. Additionally, even if calcification does occur, calcification resulting from cosmetic surgery generally does not have an adverse effect on your health.

A. Since there is a limit to the amount of fat that the breasts can naturally accommodate, you can generally expect to see a natural increase of approximately half a cup size.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is breast augmentation with fat transfer?

It is a procedure that removes excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, purifies the fat, and transfers it to the breasts to enhance volume while improving body contours.

How long does breast augmentation with fat transfer take?

The procedure takes about 2 hours.

What type of anesthesia is used?

The procedure is performed with sedation.

Will I need to stay in the hospital?

No, hospitalization is not required.

When are stitches removed?

Stitches are removed about 1 week after the procedure.

Who may be a good candidate for fat-transfer breast augmentation?

You may be a good candidate if you want a natural-looking breast enhancement without scars, want to improve indentation or asymmetry, want to balance uneven breast volume, or have lost breast volume after childbirth and breastfeeding.

Can I have breast augmentation without implants?

Yes. Fat grafting can add breast volume using your own healthy fat cells, although an increase of more than one cup may not produce as dramatic a result as implant surgery.

How much larger can my breasts become with autologous fat grafting?

Because the breasts can accommodate only a limited amount of fat naturally, you can generally expect an increase of approximately half a cup size.

Can fat grafting correct an unnatural result from breast implants?

Yes, fat transfer can be used to help correct unnatural-looking results after implant surgery.

Can breast fat grafting cause calcification?

Calcification can occur if transferred fat cells do not survive and are absorbed, especially if too much fat is concentrated in one area. Injecting fat in multiple thin layers is used to reduce this risk.

Does calcification from cosmetic breast fat grafting affect my health?

Even if calcification occurs, calcification resulting from cosmetic surgery generally does not adversely affect your health.

What are the potential benefits of using my own fat for breast augmentation?

Using your own fat can provide a natural feel and appearance, reduce unwanted fat in donor areas, improve body contours, and add breast volume.
