Breast Fat Grafting

At Elite Plastic Surgery, one of our most common procedure we perform is fat grafting also called autologous fat grafting to improve reconstruction and augmentation results.

During fat grafting, fat tissue is removed from a body using liposuction in desired areas. The tissue is then processed into liquid and injected into the breast area to recreate the breast, increase size, or to fine tune the appearance of a reconstructed or augmented breast to provide the most natural appearance.

Fat grafting can be combined with cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. Cosmetic procedures include mastopexy (“breast lift”), breast reconstructions, breast augmentation with and without implants. Fat grafting can also be combined with autologous (using your own tissue) and implant based breast reconstruction.

Benefits of Fat Grafting:

• It uses your own tissue instead of an implant.
• Fat is removed from desired areas resulting in contour enhancement from where liposuction is performed.
• Improvements in the superior portion of the breast to provide a more natural transition of the upper slope.
• Improvements of the medial (or middle) portions of the breast to enhance cleavage.
• Fine tune the appearance of the breast.
