What is a natural fat transfer breast augmentation?

Natural fat transfer refers to breast augmentation using the patient’s own body fat as a natural organic body component to enlarge and uplift the breasts.

Fat normally forms the majority of breast volume and its loss as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, or with aging leads to reduction in the breast volume together with some droopiness and sagging.

Natural fat transfer procedure has become a more favorable alternative to silicone implants in recent years for being a natural body component replacing the lost fat with the same body component returning back the lost balance and volume permanently.

In this procedure fat is harvested from one or multiple areas of the patient’s body by liposuction, then the fat is transferred in to the breasts without any chemicals or foreign materials.

What are the advantages of natural fat transfer breast augmentation?

Fat is a natural constituent of the body that feels and looks absolutely normal, there are many advantages to natural fat transfer which include:

No breast incision is required (scarless), unlike silicone implants that lead to a visible scar.
Feels normal (it has no edges which make it impossible to feel or catch).
Looks absolutely natural with out any artificial look.
It is a perfect option for breasts that have lost their size by weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.
Natural fat transfer is a permanent choice.
A normal component of your body.
Less expensive choice than silicone implants.
Fat is a side product during body sculpturing and liposuction.

What are the disadvantages of natural fat transfer breast augmentation?

Everything in life has its pros and cons. Natural fat transfer makes no difference with some disadvantages to mention.

The idea of fat transfer depends mainly on the transfer of living fat cells to the breasts, but unfortunately not all the fat cells survive the transfer leading to the following disadvantages:

It is difficult to anticipate the actual end result or the amount of size and shape changes.
The breast size starts by being extremely full immediately after the procedure then keeps shrinking in size until it loses about 30 – 40% of the transferred fat volume.
Sometimes it gets complicated by the formation of fibrous tissue that lasts for a few months.
It is not suitable for small breasts that have a small skin envelope.

What to expect from natural fat transfer breast augmentation?

You can expect an enlargement to the breast size with some breast uplifting that feels and looks absolutely normal.

Natural fat transfer results are permanent once it becomes fully stable about 3 months after the procedure.

A silicone implant breast augmentation mammoplasty is a plastic surgical procedure that involves placing silicone implants inside the woman’s breasts to enhance their size and shape for several reasons:

To balance a difference in size between the two breasts.
To correct a congenital deformity.
As a reconstructive technique after breast cancer surgery.

What are the advantages of silicone implant breast augmentation?

Silicone implants have a fixed size and shape that never changes with time making them a favorable choice in breast augmentation.

Silicone implants are suitable for women that have a small skin envelope in which natural fat transfer would make very little effect.
Are more suitable for skinny women who don’t have much fat to be harvested.
Results are easily anticipated including the amount of change in size and shape.
Results are almost final 2 weeks after surgery without much ongoing changes that occur with fat transfer.
Lasts for many years anywhere between 10 – 20 years.

What are the disadvantages of silicone implant breast augmentation?

Silicone implants have some points to consider before surgery:

Silicone implants need a wide incision that leaves a permanent scar.
Some people have an immune system that identifies the implants as a foreign body and forms a capsule around the implant that might distort the breast shape or causes pain in some cases.
The implant edges could form a deformity to the breast shape (double bubble deformity) when the implants don’t align perfectly with the lower breast tissue creating an indentation or a bulge in the lower pole of the breast.
Might affect the ability of future breast feeding.

What to expect from silicone implant breast augmentation?

You should expect to have your breasts beautifully augmented in the way you want it as long as your expectations are realistic.

Keep in mind that your breasts won’t find their final resting place until about 2 months after surgery.

A small scar commonly placed bellow the breasts should be normally expected in all cases of silicone breast implant augmentation. It is placed in the hidden crease bellow the breast to have it inconspicuous as much as possible.
