Fat transfer vs breast implants
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or lipofilling, is now an excellent alternative to breast augmentation with implants. Your own natural body fat can be utilised for fat grafting to the breasts to achieve natural-looking results safely without implant-associated risks. As a growing number of people become reluctant to consider implant-based enhancement, the option of using your own natural body fat to augment the breasts has become increasingly popular, especially given the significant advances in technology to optimise fat cell survival.

Four benefits of fat transfer to breasts using your own fat – natural breast augmentation
Fat transfer can produce natural-looking results
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, produces natural-looking results with your own fat. Although there are many different options for breast implants available today, implants are inferior to fat transfer when it comes to natural results, as your body fat helps to contour and define the breasts.
For women looking to achieve natural enhancement, fat transfer to the breasts is considered the best procedure. By using your own natural body fat removed from unwanted areas of the body, precise contours can be created without the need for artificial implants and the potential complications they can cause.

Fat transfer involves less scarring compared with implants.
Our surgeons commonly get asked about how much scarring is involved with breast fat transfer. Fortunately, any type of fat transfer procedure involves minimal scarring, which is barely noticeable several months after the procedure. Although all types of surgery include making an incision resulting in a scar, fat transfer scars are much smaller than the scars associated with breast implants.
This means they can be easily hidden. In fact, in most cases, fat transfer scars are virtually invisible, even in many types of swimwear.
Fat transfer involves a quicker recovery period with less downtime.
Most types of fat transfer procedures involve quick recovery due to the smaller incisions required. Fat transfer to breasts is an outpatient procedur,e which means you can go home later the same day. Fat transfer recovery varies between individuals depending on the extent of fat grafting performed. In most cases, people can be up and about within a few days after surgery and carry out most activities by the end of two weeks. Breast implants, in comparison, require adequate time to rest and recover and can last anywhere from two weeks to 4 weeks before people can begin to return to normal activities of daily living.
Breast fat transfer is an excellent alternative to implants
Although the latest generation of breast implants is now safer than ever before, implants involve specific risks related to the insertion of artificial substances into the human body. Fat transfer, in comparison, involves far fewer risks, as it utilises your own body fat. Thanks to recent advances, the results of fat transfer are now much more predictable.
Fat transfer has a better safety profile than implants and is ideal for women looking to achieve subtle breast enhancement that does not look fake. Many women would like to achieve targeted enhancement to specific areas of the breasts, such as the upper pole, to improve cleavage. Implants may produce an excessively enlarged appearance that is out of proportion to a woman’s body frame. Fat grafting can be ideal in this situation for providing the ideal amount of volume enhancement for exceptionally natural-looking fat transfer results.

How does fat transfer work?
Fat transfer works by removing excess fat from unwanted areas of the body, such as the abdomen or buttocks, and then injecting it into other areas to enhance volume. Patients benefit from sculpting and contouring the area where fat has been removed, achieving a natural breast augmentation with fat transfer. The procedure is customised to the needs of the individual patient. Fat transfer is an excellent option for women who want a slimmer abdomen or thighs, with naturally enhanced results. Some women prefer to have fat removed from areas of excess and have it transferred to the buttocks, while others may have fat removed from the stomach to create volume in their breasts—the options for fat transfer are considerable. Men also find fat transfer to be an excellent treatment option. Love handles can be removed using liposuction. The removed fat can be used for fat transfer to the face to restore areas of lost volume for a more useful or chiselled look.
What does fat transfer breast augmentation involve?
The procedure most commonly involves a general anaesthetic to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure and in the recovery period. Once you are under anaesthesia, liposuction will first be performed to remove excess fat using a cannula. The fat will then be processed to remove impurities before being reinjected into the breast using small-diameter cannulas. Targeted areas of the breasts can be enhanced with fat transfer to achieve natural-looking results. Recovery is quick after fat transfer breast augmentation, with most women able to carry out most activities after two weeks.
