Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

At PIAF Clinic, we first assess the degree of breast sagging, skin elasticity, and the amount of fat available for transfer.By harvesting and purifying your body's own fat, we can inject it into the breasts,adding soft volume without implants.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

Removing excess fat, adding volume to the breasts

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation involves harvesting fat from areas like the thighs, abdomen, and flanks, and injecting only pure fat, filtered of impurities, into the breasts. Using your own tissue results in a feel similar to natural breasts, with minimal scarring due to the use of small injection sites rather than full incisions. Some of the injected fat may be absorbed over time, so the decision to perform the procedure in one session or multiple sessions will be made after consultation, based on desired volume and available body fat. Results may vary by individual.

Unique Aspects of PIAF Breast Fat Grafting

Diagram of purified pure fat cells
01/

Pure Fat Grafting with Filtered Impurities

Harvested fat contains blood, anesthetic, and damaged cell fragments. These are filtered out using centrifugation and filtration, leaving only healthy fat cells for injection, creating a favorable environment for the grafted fat to integrate into new tissue. The degree of integration varies by individual constitution and care.

  • Centrifugation and filtration purification
  • Selection of healthy fat cells
  • Favorable environment for integration
  • Individual variation

Delicate Harvesting with Micro Cannula

A fine, rounded cannula is used for fat extraction, minimizing nerve and blood vessel damage compared to thicker tubes. This helps preserve the condition of the fat cells, benefiting their state post-transplant. The extraction site may experience temporary swelling and bruising, usually subsiding within a few weeks.

  • Fine, rounded-tip cannula
  • Minimized nerve and blood vessel damage
  • Protection of fat cells
  • Contour refinement of extraction site

Multi-directional Injection

Instead of concentrating purified fat in one area, it is injected in small amounts across multiple layers and directions. This increases the surface area of each fat cluster in contact with surrounding tissue, facilitating blood supply and reducing the likelihood of lumps or irregularities.

  • Multi-layer, multi-directional injection
  • Increased tissue contact area
  • Uniform volume
  • Minimized lump formation

Harvesting, purifying, and injecting are key to results The core of Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation lies in careful extraction, thorough purification, and even distribution. The procedure involves anesthetizing the extraction site, aspirating the fat, and injecting the purified fat into various layers of the breast. Initially, the volume may appear larger due to swelling, but some fat will be absorbed over weeks, settling into place. The final volume is typically assessed around 3 months, with additional grafting considered if needed.

Precautions for PIAF Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

  1. 01/Consult thoroughly with a specialist to confirm desired outcomes and current condition, and undergo necessary tests (e.g., breast ultrasound).
  2. 02/Smoking can hinder blood circulation and negatively affect fat graft integration, so stop smoking at least 2 weeks before surgery.
  3. 03/Avoid medications or supplements that affect blood coagulation at least 1 week before surgery, and inform us of any medications you are taking during consultation.
  4. 04/Post-surgery, keep the extraction and injection sites clean, and follow instructions for dressing changes and prescribed medication.
  5. 05/Avoid excessive exercise, heavy lifting, and positions that compress the chest for at least 2 weeks post-surgery.
  6. 06/Maintain stable weight post-grafting, as rapid dieting can increase fat absorption.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Q.How much of the injected fat remains?
Some of the grafted fat is absorbed over weeks, with the remainder settling in place. The retention rate varies based on constitution, extraction and purification conditions, and post-surgery care. We explain expected ranges during consultation and plan additional grafting if necessary.
Q.Is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation possible for thin individuals?
Sufficient fat is needed for grafting, so body fat levels are assessed first. If available fat is limited, we may adjust the target volume or consider other methods like Breast Augmentation with Implants.
Q.Does it affect breast examinations?
Calcification or cysts may develop post-grafting, so inform your examiner of your grafting history during check-ups. We recommend a pre-surgery breast ultrasound to assess current conditions and regular check-ups thereafter.
