DURING THE PROCEDURE
Breast Fat Grafting, also known as fat transfer, involves using your body’s own fat to enhance breast volume and shape. Here are the main aspects of the procedure explained simply:
Fat Harvesting:
- Source Areas: Fat is usually harvested from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
- Method: A small incision is made, and the fat is removed using liposuction.
Fat Processing:
- Preparation: The harvested fat is processed to remove impurities and prepare it for injection.
- Injection: The purified fat is then injected into specific areas of the breasts to achieve the desired volume and shape.
Breast Contouring:
- Placement: Fat is strategically injected to enhance breast volume and improve contour.
- Adjustments: The surgeon may make adjustments to ensure an even and natural-looking result.
THE SURGEON USUALLY:
- Harvests Fat: Extracts fat from donor areas using liposuction.
- Prepares Fat: Processes the fat to ensure it is suitable for injection.
- Injects Fat: Adds the processed fat into the breasts to enhance volume and shape.
THE NIPPLE AND AREOLA:
- Positioning: The nipple and areola are generally not repositioned during this procedure.
- Symmetry: Efforts are made to ensure even results, but some variation in shape and size may occur.
- Scarring: Small incisions made for fat harvesting typically heal with minimal scarring.
Breast fat grafting provides a natural way to enhance breast appearance with your own body fat. Consult with your surgeon to determine if this procedure aligns with your goals and expectations.
03 AFTER THE PROCEDURE
Immediately after surgery:
- Your breasts will be covered with a gauze dressing or bandages.
- A tube might be placed under each arm to drain any excess blood or fluid.
- You will likely take medication for pain and antibiotics to decrease your risk of infection.
The first few days or week after surgery:
- Your breasts will probably feel tender and sensitive.
- Your breasts might be swollen and bruised.
- Your surgeon might recommend an elastic compression bra to protect the breasts.
After that:
- Scarring usually fades over time.
- You will need to limit physical activity for two to four weeks while the breasts heal.
- Your surgeon might suggest avoiding underwire bras for a few months after surgery.
- You will need a follow-up visit with your surgeon to remove stitches and check your recovery.
Successful breast fat grafting results in fuller, naturally contoured breasts with enhanced volume and shape. The procedure improves breast symmetry, with fat carefully injected to achieve a smooth and balanced appearance. This enhances your overall silhouette, providing a youthful and confident look while boosting your satisfaction with your breast enhancement.
