Fat Grafting Breast

While going through your research process for breast augmentation in Singapore, you would have most probably come across the more common method where breast implants are used for breast enlargement procedures. Although the use of breast implants is widely known and popular, there is another breast augmentation method that plastic surgeons in Singapore provide as well.

This method is known as fat grafting breast or breast fat transfer. This method of breast augmentation uses a technique where fat tissues are harvested from other body parts of the patient such as tummy, thighs, or butt areas. This essentially means that fat grafting breast is one of the most natural breast augmentation procedures that patients can find. Now, let us dive deeper into how breast fat transfer is done as well as its pros and cons.

For fat grafting breast augmentation, the surgeon will first need to extract and harvest fats from other body parts. This part of the process is done through liposuction, at Shens Clinic, the Vaser liposuction technique is used. Once the fats are harvested, they will be processed as injectables to be injected into the breasts. The amount of fats to be drawn out is dependent on the desired outcome of the patient. Fat grafting breast augmentation may also require several sessions to ensure that the body has accepted the injected fats from the previous round.

The fat grafting breast augmentation is done as an outpatient surgery where patients will be able to return home after the surgery. The duration of the surgery would be dependent on several factors such as the amount of fats to be harvested, but it will usually be completed in around 2 hours. Before undergoing breast fat transfer, patients will also have to be assessed by the doctor to see if they are suitable candidates and have sufficient fat to be harvested.

The main advantage of breast fat grafting is that the process only involves your own fat tissues, unlike the use of breast implants. It is a more natural augmentation procedure as compared to the use of breast implants. Therefore, there are no risks of allergy or rejection of your own fats from the body. Fat grafting is also a less invasive method to enlarge the breast, hence patients can expect minimal scarring and downtime from the procedure. Furthermore, patients also get to enjoy the best of both worlds, as unwanted fats from other parts of the body can be removed using liposuction and transferred to the breasts. Lastly, fat grafting breast augmentation provides the most natural breast enlargement results as it uses the patient’s own fat tissues which mimics the feel of breast tissues.

There are not many risks associated with breast fat transfer and the success rate is fairly high. Fat grafting to the breasts is also safe and does not increase the chances of breast cancer. One downside of fat grafting is that the injected fats may be reabsorbed by the body causing the breasts to lose volume over time. Fat grafting to the breast may not be able to achieve the same results as breast enlargement with breast implants. As there is a limited amount the breast can be enlarged using fats and would also require adequate time and blood supply for the body to fully accept the injected fats.

The breasts will also experience swelling or bruising which will slowly subside after the first two weeks. Patients should also not perform strenuous activities or exercise during the healing period. All in all, patients that undergo breast augmentation would usually recover around 2 months, however, it is also dependent on how many fat grafting sessions the patient requires.
