What is Fat Transfer to the Breast?
Fat transfer to the breast is a cosmetic procedure where unwanted fat is taken from one area of the body, purified, and moved to the breasts to enhance their size. It’s a form of breast augmentation but tends to lead to more natural-looking results and fewer complications than breast implant surgery.
How is Fat Transfer to the Breast Performed?
A fat transfer to the breast starts with the administration of general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. From there, your provider will make an incision in the donor area. They’ll then use a cannula to loosen up and suction out the fat. The fat will then be purified and injected into the breasts. Once the procedure is complete, any incisions will be closed, and you’ll be ready to start your recovery process.
Who is a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer to the Breast?
Good candidates for fat transfer to the breast are those in generally good health, nonsmokers, those with realistic expectations, and individuals struggling with the small size of their breasts. It’s perfect for those looking for subtler results than those achieved with breast implants and anyone who wants to reduce the risk of complications.
How Long Do the Results Last from Fat Transfer to the Breast?
The results from a fat transfer breast augmentation are lifelong, but it can take up to six months to see the final results. To ensure you maintain your results, you’ll want to stay at a stable weight.
Can I Combine Fat Transfer with Other Breast Procedures?
Fat transfer to the breast can be combined with other breast procedures. For natural enhancement, some patients choose to combine fat transfer and breast augmentation using a small implant. Many patients also combine the fat transfer procedure with a breast lift for the ultimate breast rejuvenation.
What are the Benefits of Choosing a Fat Transfer to the Breast?
You can look forward to a variety of benefits with fat transfer to the breast at Sarasota Plastic Surgery. The procedure achieves a more natural appearance, allows for minimal scarring, and a shorter recovery time than other breast enhancement procedures. Because the procedure also removes unwanted fat from a specific area of the body, the surgery allows for body contouring as well. Additionally, because your own fat is used instead of an implant, there are far fewer complications.

What is Recovery Like After Fat Transfer to the Breasts?
After your fat transfer to the breast procedure, you will likely have swelling, bruising, and tenderness around the breasts and in the donor area. These side effects will dissipate as you heal over the next few weeks. You will need to wear a compression bra to help ease swelling and aid in the healing process.
In the first week of your recovery, you will want to rest as much as possible. You’ll need to take at least a week off of work and avoid any strenuous activities. We also recommend sleeping on your back, taking prescribed medications, and wearing loose-fitting clothing.
You will see results within a month as your swelling goes down, but it can take up to six months to see the final results.
