Steps Involved in Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation at Darren Smith, MD

  2. Consultation and Planning – Dr. Smith evaluates your suitability for the procedure and develops a customized treatment plan.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation With Fat Transfer

Many women prefer a fat transfer breast augmentation procedure to traditional breast cosmetic surgery. Here’s why.
  • Dual benefit: Not only will you increase breast size and volume, but you’ll also reduce fat in areas such as your abdomen and thighs.
  • Natural look and feel: The fat used is from your own body, giving you a natural breast enhancement.
  • No implants needed: Unlike traditional breast implants, this procedure doesn’t involve silicone or saline for a more organic result.
  • Less invasive: Using liposuction for fat harvesting tends to have an easier recovery as compared to breast implant surgery.

If you prefer implants, Dr. Smith also offers Motiva Implants, which are known for their natural feel compared to their traditional counterparts. Some patients may be best served with more traditional implant styles, and these are available as well.

FAQs About Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer

What is better, implants or fat transfer?
Who should not get a fat transfer breast augmentation?
How long does a fat transfer breast augmentation last?
What are the downsides or side effects of a fat transfer breast augmentation?
What is recovery like after a fat transfer breast augmentation?
Is breast augmentation with fat transfer worth it?

What is better, implants or fat transfer?

Fat transfer utilizes your body fat for natural contouring, whereas implants offer a more substantial size increase. Dr. Smith can help you decide which breast enhancement option suits you best.

Who should not get a fat transfer breast augmentation?

Those who desire large size increases, are smokers, or have insufficient fat reserves for harvesting may not be suitable for this procedure.

How long does a fat transfer breast augmentation last?

Fat transfer gives long-lasting results, as the fat becomes permanent. Some absorption may occur, but the final results typically last for many years, especially when accompanied by stable weight.

What are the downsides or side effects of a fat transfer breast augmentation?

Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort in both the donor and recipient areas. Small bumps can occur. While fat transfer to the breasts does not increase the risk of breast cancer, it can create a false positive on a mammogram and result in the need for a minimally invasive biopsy (FNA, or fine needle aspiration).

What is recovery like after a fat transfer breast augmentation?

Recovery involves swelling and bruising, with most patients returning to light activities in 1-2 weeks. Full recovery takes 4-6 weeks, with discomfort subsiding in a few days. Most patients can return to a desk job in 48 hours. 

Is breast augmentation with fat transfer worth it?

This is a personal question, but we think yes!, Fat transfer breast augmentation offers natural results with minimal invasiveness. This makes it a subtle, effective alternative to implants.
