BREAST FAT TRANSFER
Transferring Fat From Your Problem Areas To Your Breasts
If you are unhappy with the size and shape of your breasts, there may be a solution. During a breast fat transfer surgery, Dr. Ghaznavi will take fat from other areas of your body and inject it into your breasts for a fuller, more symmetrical breast shape. Breast fat transfer surgery is a great option for women who want natural-looking results.
What Is Breast Fat Transfer Surgery?
In breast fat transfer surgery, fat is taken from other areas of the body and injected into the breasts. Many women report feeling happier with their appearance after surgery. Breast fat transfer can be performed at the same time as other breast procedures, such as a breast augmentation or a mastopexy. To prepare for this surgery, you will have liposuction performed on your body to remove the excess fat that will be used in your breasts. The surgeon then takes that fat and injects it into the breasts.
The fat is injected to give the breasts a more youthful, full appearance. Sometimes this will also change the shape of your breasts slightly, making them perkier or rounder. It resembles what happens when many women naturally gain or lose weight in their breasts over time, although it can be more dramatic than natural changes tend to be.
Where Is Fat Transferred From?
Many patients choose to transfer fat from areas of the body that typically contain more fat, such as the stomach, buttocks, back or arms. This fat is then separated through purification so that there is no excess fluid in the tissue. Once purified, the fat is injected into the breast. The advantage of this procedure is that it uses your own fat, so there is no risk of rejection. Additionally, the results are natural-looking.
Unfortunately, the fat tends to gradually reabsorb over time, and most patients undergo a second fat transfer procedure before the first is completely gone. There’s also no guarantee that body fat will retain its shape once transferred to the breasts; if it melts or gets reabsorbed into your system, you’ll need another injection of fat to regain the results. As with any surgery, there are risks involved, such as infection, asymmetry and loss of volume.
Benefits Of Breast Fat Transfer Surgery
The benefits of breast fat transfer surgery are many. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is that it enhances your appearance by increasing the size of your breasts. But breast fat transfer surgery also has other benefits, including:
Recovery From Breast Fat Transfer Surgery
Most women report excellent results following breast fat transfer surgery. Recovery times vary, but are typically relatively short. Most people can return to work within a week or two. Minor swelling and bruising are expected after the surgery, but this typically clears up within a few weeks. It is important to closely follow Dr. Ghaznavi’s post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery. Make sure to avoid any strenuous activity or exercise for at least six weeks after surgery. Also, be sure to wear a supportive bra during the healing process.
