Fat Transfer Breast Enhancement – What Happens During the Procedure?

Fat transfer breast enhancement is a natural method of breast augmentation wherein the candidate’s own body fat is used for augmentation purposes. This is preferred by many women over breast implant augmentation since no foreign material is inserted into the body. This procedure is provided at leading plastic surgery facilities in Manhattan, New York City by reputable plastic surgeons. Women planning to undergo this cosmetic procedure can schedule a consultation with their chosen plastic surgeon to learn more about the procedure and take an informed decision. During this consultation, the plastic surgeon would decide if you are a candidate for this aesthetic procedure.

What Is Fat Transfer Breast Enhancement?

This procedure is also known as fat grafting or autologous fat transplantation. In this breast surgery, the surgeon would remove excess fat from areas such as the back, buttocks, love handles, thighs, and abdomen through minimally invasive liposuction. The purified fat is injected into the breasts to augment them.

Smartlipo Triplex is an advanced and safe laser device which the surgeon uses for carrying out liposuction. A small cannula would be inserted through a tiny incision made in the area from where fat is to be extracted. The powerful laser energy delivered would melt the fat in donor areas such as the thighs, abdomen and waist. 3 unique laser wavelengths are used for melting the fat. The extracted fat is processed for purification. This would ensure that the survival rate of fat cells is high. Sometimes, the surgeon would inject extra fat cells because not all cells would survive. The procedure would be successful depending on the following factors:

• The amount of existing fat and breast tissue
• Amount of fat that is transplanted to the breasts
• Amount of blood that is received by the breasts

In fat transfer procedure, the donor areas get contoured since excess fat is removed, while the breasts gain the desired volume.

The Right Candidate for the Procedure

The right candidates for the procedure are women who,

• Have experienced implant rejection
• Wish to have breast reconstruction after mastectomy
• Have underdeveloped or misshapen breasts
• Wish to have younger-looking breasts.

Fat transfer breast augmentation is a medically approved process and hence women desiring a more appealing breast contour can confidently undergo the procedure. However, for successful breast augmentation through fat transfer, a reliable plastic surgeon is indispensable. You need to make sure that all instructions provided by the surgeon during the pre and post surgery periods are followed closely for the best results.

 

Breast Augmentation Rated Second Most Popular Plastic Surgery Procedure in the World

Breast augmentation surgery was the second most popular plastic surgery procedure in the world, according to statistics released by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ISAPS) in 2013. According to the ISAPS, it is demand in the U.S. market which was responsible for driving breast implant surgery to the second position.

Breast surgery in general, comprising breast lifts, breast reduction and gynecomastia (male breast reduction surgery), is among the top 10 procedures performed in the U.S., says the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and has grown at a spectacular rate during the decade ending 2011.

One of the main reasons for the popularity of breast implants is FDA acceptance of silicone gel breast implants. Most women feel that silicone implants offer a more natural look and feel than their saline counterpart, though they require a larger incision to insert as they come prefilled.

Another option which is becomingly increasingly popular is fat transfer breast enhancement. This technique uses autologous fat tissue to boost the breast volume. In other words, the plastic surgeon harvests excess fat tissue from one area of your body and transfers the graft to your breasts to improve size and shape. This technique is ideal for women who have fat to spare in their hips, abdomen or flanks.

Many women who go in for breast augmentation also have other cosmetic surgery procedures such as lipoplasty to improve contour in various areas. Plastic surgeons utilize the latest minimally invasive liposuction modalities to remove excess fat and skin from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, back, neck and face.

In short, it’s all about looking good and with the advancements in technology and surgical techniques, achieving your cosmetic goals is becoming easier and safer.
