Fat Transfer

If you desire to have larger breasts without the use of implants, fat transfer breast augmentation may be an option for you. Fat transfer is a method to enlarge your breasts in a more natural way that does not involve implanting foreign materials into your body. In this procedure, we use your own fat cells to develop full, attractive breasts that look and feel natural. Fat transfer augmentation also results in minimal scarring, less downtime after surgery, and quicker healing.

The fat transfer breast augmentation procedure involves three steps. First, your fat is being removed from your body using liposuction. Then, the fat removed from your body will be processed for optimal survival. Finally, the fat is being injected into your breasts, giving it a fuller, natural looking appearance. After the fat is injected, it may take several months before the final results are visible.

Fat transfer breast augmentation is not a good option for someone who is looking for dramatic changes, but it is an excellent choice for someone wishing to enhance their current appearance.

How do I know if a breast fat transfer is right for me?
As with any procedure, it is best to consult with a professional in regards these matters. In general, those who seek a more natural enhanced look may turn to a breast fat transfer. At most, only one cup size could be achieved. If you are looking for a full enhancement, breast augmentation may be best. But if you prefer something a little more natural yet still appealing, breast fat transfer may be right for you.

What would make me a good candidate for this procedure?
A good candidate is someone who is healthy and is seeking to improve their breast size naturally. And since it is a fat transfer, you would have to have enough fat to be removed first in order to inject into the breast.

Does it hurt?
Dr. Vu will carefully inject the proper anesthetic to ensure that you are comfortable during the procedure. Proper medication will also be provided to assure that you are relaxed during the procedure as well.

How long does it take?
On average, the whole procedure may take about 2 hours.

When can I go back to work?
You can return to light activities in as little as 2 days. You may still experience a little soreness the first few days. And, it is not recommended to engage in strenuous activities for at least 2 weeks.
