Breast augmentation with fat transfer is one of the most common surgical procedures in Turkey. Many women wishing to improve the shape and size of their breasts are accepted for this procedure, either for cosmetic reasons or as a means of breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, at the doctor's recommendation.

This desire increases with age or after weight loss dramatically, through our article we will learn more about how to augment the breast with fat transfer.

 Breast augmentation with fat transfer surgery

Breast augmentation with fat transfer is a cosmetic procedure that aims to increase the size and improve the shape of the breasts using the patient's fat. Unlike breast implants, which are synthetic materials inserted under the breast tissue or chest muscle, fat transfer uses liposuction to harvest fat cells from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. The fat cells are then purified and injected into the breasts using a thin tube or syringe. The procedure can create natural-looking and feeling results, without the risk of implant rupture, leakage, or capsular contracture.

Fat transfer to breast surgery pros and cons

Some of the advantages of fat transfer to breast surgery are:

• It uses the patient's fat, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions, infections, or complications related to foreign substances.

• It offers dual benefits of enhancing the breasts and reducing fat in unwanted areas, resulting in a more sculpted figure overall.

• It involves smaller incisions and less scarring than breast implant surgery and may have a quicker recovery time.

• It produces natural-looking and feeling breasts, with a seamless integration with the existing breast tissue.

• It can be combined with a breast lift, breast reduction, or breast reconstruction to improve the appearance and symmetry of the breasts.

Disadvantages of fat transfer to breast

Fat transfer breast augmentation is a procedure that uses the patient's fat to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. However, it has some limitations and risks, such as:

• It can only achieve a small to moderate increase in breast size, usually one or two cup sizes at most.

• It may require multiple sessions, as some fat may die or be reabsorbed by the body.

• It may affect the accuracy of mammograms, as the injected fat can create calcifications or cysts that can mimic breast cancer.

• It may not be suitable for patients who have little body fat, obesity, smoke, or experience significant weight fluctuations.

Fat transfer breast augmentation results

The results from a fat transfer breast augmentation are permanent, as the fat cells that survive and establish a blood supply in the breasts will remain there for life. However, the final results may not be visible until six months after the procedure, as some of the injected fat may die or be reabsorbed by the body during this time. The results may also vary depending on the amount and quality of the fat transferred, the skill and technique of the surgeon, and the individual healing and response of the patient. The results may also change with weight fluctuations, aging, or pregnancy, as the fat cells in the breasts can expand or shrink like any other fat cells in the body.

Breast fat transfer side effects

Breast fat transfer is a procedure that uses the patient's fat to enhance the breasts. However, it may have some side effects, such as:

• Pain, swelling, bruising, and numbness in the breasts and the donor sites, may last for a few days or weeks.

• Fluid buildup under the skin may need to be drained by the surgeon.

• Infection, bleeding, or hematoma, which may require antibiotics or additional surgery.

• Fat necrosis is the death of fat cells that can cause lumps, cysts, or calcifications in the breast tissue. These may need to be removed by the surgeon or affect the accuracy of mammograms.

• Fat embolism is a rare but serious complication that occurs when fat cells enter the bloodstream and block a blood vessel. This can cause life-threatening symptoms and may require emergency treatment.

• Asymmetry, irregularities, or dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome, may require revision surgery or additional fat transfer.
