Many women dream of having larger breasts, but shy away from breast enhancement with implants - traditional method of a breast augmentation. Fat transfer breast enhancement makes it possible to increase the size of your breasts safely – with your own fat cells! The fat is carefully extracted with a specialized PAL (power assisted liposuction) technique, then purified and injected in the breasts to create plumper, fuller breasts that are soft and natural.
The Fat Transfer Procedure
The procedure has several steps. The first is to identify the ideal site from which to harvest fat cells, typically the tummy, thighs, or love handles (flanks). The fat is extracted with a specialized liposuction technique called PAL (Power Assisted Liposuction). This system allows the fat cells to be extracted with minimal damage to maintain viability. Once extracted, the fat is purified so only the pure fat cells remain.
The second step of the process involves injecting tiny quantities of fat into the breast with a cannula, a tiny hollow needle. The fat is injected into the existing fatty tissue in the breast, so it can flourish in the new location for natural breast enlargement.
Ideal Candidates for Fat Transfer Breast Enhancement
The candidates for this procedure are women who are not seeking a significant enlargement, but a subtle increase in volume. As the fat injected into your breasts comes from your own body, this procedure has almost no risk of rejection. Good candidates for the procedure are in the following condition:
Have sufficient excess fat in another body area to harvest
Have lost breast volume after breastfeeding
Previously had breast implants and want to replace with natural fat
Have asymmetrical breasts that you want evened
Are generally healthy and don’t smoke
