Fat transfer breast augmentation risks and safety

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.
