Breast fat grafting, offered by our board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Z, uses a patient’s own fat to enhance breast size and shape. It is an ideal solution for individuals seeking natural-looking breast augmentation or reconstruction, while also allowing for body contouring through liposuction, without having to rely on implants and other foreign materials.
Augment Your
Breasts Using Natural Fat
Breast fat grafting, also known as autologous fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure that enables individuals to augment their breasts using their body’s natural fat. It involves two steps: first, fat is harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs through liposuction, and then the harvested fat is carefully injected into the breasts to enhance their size and shape. This technique offers a natural alternative to implants, providing a subtle and proportionate enhancement while simultaneously contouring other areas of the body.
Breast Fat Grafting Corrects:
- Breast asymmetry
- Congenital breast deformities
- Post-mastectomy breast reconstruction
- Breast contour irregularities
- Volume loss after pregnancy or weight loss
The Added Benefit of Body Contouring
During breast fat grafting, excess fat is removed from donor areas, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs, through liposuction. This allows for improved body proportions and a more sculpted figure. By simultaneously enhancing the breasts and contouring other areas, patients can achieve a harmonious overall aesthetic.
The combination of breast augmentation and body contouring makes breast fat grafting a comprehensive solution for individuals seeking a balanced and proportionate physique.
Benefits of Breast Fat Grafting:
- Natural and subtle results
- Utilizes the patient’s own fat
- Minimally invasive procedure
- Provides the dual benefit of breast enhancement and body contouring
- Reduced risk of complications compared to breast implants
- No risk of implant rupture or capsular contracture
- Long-lasting results with proper care and maintenance

Carefully Concealed Incisions
During breast fat grafting, incisions are strategically placed to ensure minimal scarring and discreet results. Incisions are typically small and located in inconspicuous areas, such as the natural creases of the breasts or around the areola. Dr. Z’s approach aims to minimize visible scarring, allowing you to enjoy the enhanced appearance of your breasts with confidence.
The Recovery Process After Breast Fat Grafting
After breast fat grafting, your body needs time to heal and adjust. The initial recovery period typically involves mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. You may be advised to wear a compression garment or supportive bra to aid healing. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days and gradually increase their level of physical activity over the following weeks. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions for a smooth recovery process.
