Fat Transfer to Breast

Minimally-invasive liposuction and breast enhancement in Nashville & Memphis

Home / Breast Procedures / Fat Transfer to Breast

A Slimmer Waist and Fuller Breasts

Fat transfer to breast is a minimally-invasive procedure to remove unwanted fat from, say, your waist, and inject it into your breasts. It is a great non-surgical alternative to breast augmentation surgery. In a way, fat transfer is like having your cake and eating it too. You get to slim down your tummy, thighs, or other trouble spot, and you get to have larger breasts – all with the same one-time procedure.

Natural fat transfer to breast is available to patients in Nashville and Memphis, where each of our cosmetic surgery centers is led by a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in fat removal and body contouring.

What can I expect?

In a personal consultation with our plastic surgeon, you will discuss whether fat transfer to breast is a good option for you. To be a candidate, you need to have enough fat for harvesting – in this case it’s a problem if you’re too skinny!

Your procedure begins with a round of Aqualipo® to harvest the fat. Popular areas for this are the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. You can also have fat removed from your upper arms or neck, but on their own they won’t yield enough fat. Once harvested, the fat is kept in a closed system until it is injected into your breasts. It has a similar result as breast implants – without the actual implants, and without surgery or stitches.

The procedure lasts 2-3 hours. As with regular liposuction, you’ll be able to resume normal activities as tolerated the next day.

Each patient is unique. What your treatment will look like is determined by you and the plastic surgeon who you will meet with in a personal consultation.

Is fat transfer to breast right for me?

Fat transfer to breast is a great two-in-one procedure. For it to work, you need to have enough available fat in your waist or thighs to supply the needed volume. The benefit is that it’s only minimally-invasive. If small breast size is more of a problem for you than sagging breasts, you will love the simplicity of fat transfer. If you do experience sagging, you may need to supplement the injection with a lift.

A few more facts to help you decide:

You get a slimmer waist and bigger breasts
Your fat is absolutely free, saving you the cost of implants
The fat is also natural and easily absorbed by the body
As a minimally-invasive procedure, fat transfer has an easy and fast recovery

Frequently Asked Questions

We use our Aqualipo liposuction procedure to harvest the fat. The power of water is used to break loose and flush out the fat cells which are later injected into the breasts. The most common area for fat removal is the abdomen, as it typically yields the most fat. But you can also harvest fat from the thighs and arms. Some patients combine several areas for fat removal, even if not all the fat is needed for the desired breast volume.

Fat transfer uses your own natural fat instead of an implant to increase breast volume. The fat injections can also give your breasts a softer, smoother and natural-looking appearance. With liposuction and fat transfer you can achieve fuller breasts plus a slimmer look elsewhere, such as your tummy and thighs. In a way, you get a 2-in-1 procedure, something implants can’t give you. However, if you experience sagging breasts, the only way to restore fullness and perkiness may be with a breast lift and implants.

Yes. Fat transfer may be used in combination with implants or at a later time to correct irregularities, correct asymmetry, and smooth out visible edges around implants. If you’ve had surgery with implants in the past and aren’t happy with the outcome, we can help.

Fat transfer to breast relies on the amount of fat available to be harvested. Depending on the shape of your tummy and surrounding areas as well as the desired volume of your breasts, you may not have enough fat reserves to make this work. Most people would say that’s not a bad problem to have, as it means you probably already have an aesthetically pleasing figure.

Lose Mommy Belly

Mommy Makeover Without Surgery? Here are Your Options.

The term “Mommy Makeover” was coined to describe a plastic surgery procedure that helps women regain their pre-pregnancy body. Or perhaps a better version of their pre-pregnancy body – we are not judging. But a Mommy Makeover is not really a set-in-stone procedure. It is more like a customized treatment plan to help women turn back the clock.
