Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting

Fat transfer breast augmentation uses liposuction to take fat from other parts of your body and inject it to enhance the breasts.

What are the risks of fat transfer breast augmentation?

Fat transfer breast augmentation risks include:

  • Cysts
  • Infection
  • Microcalcification
  • Necrosis (death) of fat cells
  • Possibility that some of the transferred fat cells will leave the breast area

Your plastic surgeon may also have you use a tissue expansion system during the weeks before your breast augmentation surgery to improve your results. You may have to have touch-up injections to retain your improved shape if you choose this surgery.
