Breast Augmentation with Own Fat

Breast augmentation with own fat, also known as autologous fat transfer, is a surgical procedure performed by a skilled plastic surgeon. It involves using your body’s own fat from donor areas, such as the abdomen or thighs, to enhance the size and shape of your breasts. This procedure is particularly suitable for individuals who desire a moderate increase in breast volume and prefer a natural alternative to breast implants.

Choosing a safe and reliable technique is of utmost importance when considering breast augmentation with own fat. At our clinic, we prioritize patient safety and quality. During your consultation, our experienced surgeon will discuss the procedure in detail, including the selection of appropriate donor areas and the expected outcomes. They will explain the advantages and potential risks associated with the procedure, ensuring that you make an informed decision.

The entire treatment duration is approximately 15 days. If you are taking any blood-thinning medication, you must discontinue its use at least one week before the surgery. Additionally, if you are a smoker, it is advised to quit for at least 4 weeks before and after the procedure.

During your initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will evaluate your overall health, medical history, and medication usage. They will determine whether breast augmentation with own fat is suitable for you, taking into account your desired outcome. The surgeon will thoroughly explain the procedure, the expected results, potential risks, and post-treatment care. They will discuss the details of fat harvesting, purification, and injection techniques. Following this consultation, you can confidently decide whether to proceed with the treatment. A representative from our clinic will be present to assist you during this decision-making process.

The surgeon will mark the donor areas and carefully extract fat using a gentle liposuction technique. The harvested fat is then processed to remove impurities and prepared for injection. Subsequently, the surgeon strategically injects the purified fat into the breasts to achieve the desired volume and shape. The procedure is typically performed under anesthesia and usually takes around 1 to 2 hours.

After the procedure, you will be required to stay at our clinic for a specified period. Our medical team, including nurses, surgeons, and anesthesiologists, will closely monitor your progress. In some cases, a drain may be placed to facilitate the removal of excess fluid from the donor and recipient areas. Typically, the drains can be removed within 24 to 48 hours. Once our medical professionals determine it is appropriate, you will be allowed to leave the clinic. Our clinic will arrange transportation for you to your accommodation.

During the initial days of recovery, you may experience some discomfort, bruising, and swelling in both the donor and recipient areas. These symptoms gradually subside within 2 to 6 weeks. To manage any discomfort, you will be provided with pain medication and medications to minimize swelling. It is crucial to prioritize rest during the first week and avoid applying pressure to the breasts.

Throughout the initial weeks of recovery, you will need to wear a supportive sports bra and, at times, an elastic band. The surgeon will inform you of the recommended duration for wearing these garments. Physical exertion should be avoided for the first few weeks to ensure optimal healing.

Approximately 2 weeks after the surgery, the stitches will be removed. After 3 weeks, you can gradually resume light activities, and around 6 weeks post-surgery, The results
Following breast augmentation with own fat, you can expect to see initial results immediately after the procedure. However, it’s important to note that the breasts may initially appear slightly larger due to swelling. Over time, the swelling will subside, and the final results will become more apparent. The transplanted fat cells establish a blood supply and integrate with the existing breast tissue, providing natural-looking and long-lasting results.
It’s worth mentioning that not all of the transplanted fat cells may survive in their new location. Some degree of volume reduction is normal, but your surgeon will take this into account during the procedure to ensure optimal results. Additionally, it’s important to maintain a stable weight after the surgery, as weight fluctuations can affect the outcome.

As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation with own fat carries general risks, including the possibility of allergic reactions, poor wound healing, bleeding, or, although rare in sterile environments, infections. Additionally, there is a small risk of blood clot formation or anesthesia-related complications.

In some cases, the body’s natural response to the transplanted fat can lead to the formation of lumps or cysts. These can usually be addressed with additional treatments. It’s important to discuss potential risks and complications with your surgeon during the consultation, ensuring that you have a thorough understanding before making a decision.

Breast augmentation with own fat offers a natural and safe option for individuals seeking to enhance the size and shape of their breasts.
