Fat Transfer to the Breast: Natural Enhancement
by Dr. Mark Tseng at Tseng Plastic Surgery
At Tseng Plastic Surgery, Dr. Mark Tseng offers a range of innovative, personalized cosmetic procedures to help patients achieve their ideal body contours. One of the most popular and natural methods to enhance breast size and shape is fat transfer to the breast. This cutting-edge technique allows women to increase the size of their breasts without implants, using their own fat for a softer, more natural look and feel.
What Is Fat Transfer to the Breast?
Fat transfer to the breast is a procedure that involves removing unwanted fat from one area of the body—such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks—via liposuction and then purifying and injecting that fat into the breasts. It provides a natural enhancement by adding volume where it’s needed while simultaneously contouring the donor area. Patients get the dual benefit of slimming problem areas and achieving fuller, shapelier breasts.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Fat Transfer?
This procedure is ideal for individuals who:
- Want a modest increase in breast size (typically one to two cup sizes).
- Prefer a natural look and feel over implants.
- Have enough excess fat in other areas of the body for the transfer.
- Want to contour areas like the abdomen or thighs while enhancing their breasts.
Fat transfer is also a great option for women looking to refine the results of a previous breast surgery or to achieve more symmetrical breast contours.
Benefits of Breast Fat Transfer at Tseng Plastic Surgery
- Natural Results: Since the procedure uses your body’s own fat, the results look and feel more natural compared to traditional breast implants.
- Body Contouring: In addition to enhancing your breasts, you’ll enjoy a slimmer, more sculpted appearance in the areas where fat is removed.
- No Implants Needed: For patients concerned about the risks or feel of breast implants, fat transfer is an excellent option without the use of foreign materials.
- Minimal Scarring: Because the procedure involves only small incisions for liposuction and fat injection, there is minimal scarring compared to traditional breast augmentation.
- Long-Lasting Results: Once the fat cells are successfully transferred and integrated into the breast tissue, the results can be long-lasting, although touch-ups may be needed to maintain volume over time.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Dr. Tseng carefully plans each fat transfer to the breast procedure based on the patient’s goals and body type. The process typically includes the following steps:
- Consultation: During your consultation, Dr. Tseng will assess your body’s fat distribution, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if fat transfer is the right option for you.
- Liposuction: Fat is harvested from areas with excess, such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips, using gentle liposuction techniques.
- Purification and Injection: The fat is processed to ensure only healthy, viable fat cells are used. Dr. Tseng then meticulously injects the fat into the breasts, sculpting to achieve the desired size and shape.
- Recovery: Patients can expect a recovery period of one to two weeks, with swelling and bruising in both the donor and breast areas. The final results typically become visible as the swelling subsides over the next few months.
