Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

A fat transfer is a unique, non surgical procedure, combining the techniques of liposuction and fat transfers to create fuller, more defined, natural looking breasts and buttocks. It uses fat from other areas of the body, rather than implants, to enhance volume and shape.

Performed as a two part procedure, fat is extracted by liposuction from areas such as the hips and abdomen, which is then refined and injected back into the breast/buttock.

Prices start from £4,500.

A fat transfer to the breast will increase volume and enhance shape, which can, in some cases, make it appear as though the breast has been elevated. However, a true breast lift involves the repositioning of the nipple and this is performed via a surgical mastopexy, often combined with implants.

In certain circumstances yes. A fat transfer can be an invaluable solution for women who are considering surgery but are keen to avoid implants following a mastectomy.

Yes, in less severe cases where volume alone is the issue. Different amounts of fat can be injected into each of the breasts to balance the volume between them and create a more symmetrical contour. In other cases implants and/or a mastopexy is the most effective solution.

A fat transfer doesn't require surgery and it uses the body's own natural materials. As such, implants aren't required, recovery time is relatively quick and the result is a soft, natural looking enhancement that matches the consistency of the clients existing breast or buttock. It is however only suitable for people who have enough excess fat deposits and for those who are looking for a relatively modest enhancement i.e. within the existing breast pocket. For those looking for enlargements beyond one cup size, surgical enlargement and implants are the the most effective solution.

Women with smaller breasts and minimal ptosis (breast droop) are ideal candidates for this procedure. A fat transfer is only suitable for people who have enough excess fat deposits and for those who are looking for a relatively modest enhancement i.e. within the existing breast pocket. For those looking for enlargements beyond one cup size, surgical enlargement and implants are the the most effective solution.

For those looking for bigger enlargements, surgical enlargement and implants are the the most effective solution.

It takes between two and three hours

There will be a degree of discomfort in the areas from where the fat has been harvested and the breast/buttock will feel very tight. Discomfort is easily controlled with painkillers. A support garment is essential for post-operative care.

An outpatient appointment will be made for approximately one week after treatment.

Recovery time is relatively quick and pain free, taking just one to two weeks.

A support bra or a buttock garment is required post-operatively. A special pillow is required after buttock enhancement.

Yes, as the nipple ducts are not touched it is possible to breastfeed following a fat transfer.

The results vary from client to client, they are however, in relation to other augmentation procedures, long lasting and require a relatively short recovery time. Should supplementary volume be required in the future, additional transfers or fillers can be used.
