Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation FAQs – Q&A about Fat Transfer to Breast
Fat transfer breast augmentation, also known as fat transfer to breasts, is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional breast augmentation with implants. A1 Surgery Center in Jeddah – KSA specializes in this procedure and is renowned for our expertise in fat grafting to breasts.
How many cup sizes can I increase with fat transfer to breasts?
On average, patients can expect an increase of approximately one cup size with fat transfer to the breasts. The amount of enlargement achievable depends on factors such as the availability of donor fat, the quality of fat harvested, and the elasticity of the breast skin.
How large can I go with breast fat transfer?
Fat transfer breast augmentation typically increases breast size by half a cup to one and a half cups. While this is less than what can be achieved with implants, the results offer a more natural feel and appearance.
Does the injected fat feel natural in the breasts?
Yes, fat injected into the breasts feels very natural since it utilizes your own body fat. This contrasts with the feel of breast implants, which can be noticeable to touch.
Can fat be taken from my abdomen and transferred to my breasts?
Yes, fat can be harvested from areas like the abdomen, hips, or thighs using liposuction, and then injected into the breasts to enhance volume or improve shape. This procedure, known as fat grafting or fat transfer, is typically performed under local anesthesia. Recovery time varies depending on individual factors and the extent of the procedure.
How long until I see final results from fat transfer to breasts?
Final results typically become noticeable between three to six months post-procedure, once any initial swelling has resolved. Individual results may vary based on health, body type, and desired outcomes.
Is fat grafting for breast cancer reconstruction available?
Breast reconstruction with fat grafting is often covered by private medical insurance for medical reasons and may be available through NHS in certain cases, although private treatment often circumvents long waiting lists.
Will I have visible scars after fat transfer to breasts?
Compared to breast implants, fat transfer involves minimal incisions that are strategically placed within natural skin folds, minimizing visibility. Most scars are inconspicuous once fully healed and can be easily concealed with clothing.
Can fat transfer to breasts be reversed?
Yes, fat transfer to breasts can be reversed by removing injected fat through liposuction. However, this procedure may be challenging if minimal fat remains in donor areas. Careful assessment with a qualified plastic surgeon is crucial for evaluating feasibility.
