Breast Fat Grafting
What Is Breast Fat Grafting?
The Procedure
Fat Harvesting: Fat is collected using gentle liposuction methods that preserve healthy fat cells.
Purification: The fat is processed to isolate strong, viable cells for optimal survival.
Fat Injection: Using precise micro-injection techniques, the fat is layered into different planes of the breast to create smooth, natural contours and improve long-term retention.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia and usually takes 2–3 hours, depending on the extent of treatment.
Recovery and Results
Mild swelling and bruising may occur in both donor and breast areas.
Most patients return to routine activities within 7–10 days.
Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 3–4 weeks.
About 50–70% of the transferred fat survives permanently; therefore, slight overcorrection or a second session may be advised.
Final, stable results become visible over 3–6 months.
