Breast Fat Grafting

What Is Breast Fat Grafting?

Also called fat transfer breast augmentation, the procedure removes fat from a donor area (abdomen, flanks, thighs), purifies it, and re-injects micro-droplets into the breasts.

You can expect a subtle, half- to one-cup increase with a soft, implant-free feel. Most swelling eases in 7–10 days; about 60–80% of the transferred fat survives for years.

Ideal for:  Women seeking a modest boost and natural shape who have enough donor fat and tight skin.

How Breast Fat Grafting Works

  1. Prep & anesthesia

    local tumescent anesthesia with light oral sedation (general available if desired).

  2. Harvest

    Gentle liposuction of a chosen fat pocket; fat is washed and filtered.

  3. Transfer

    Surgeon layers micro-injections throughout the upper and lower poles; no implants, drains, or large incisions.

  4. Timeline:

    2–3 hours total; leave the clinic about 45 minutes after completion with a driver.

  5. Follow-up:

    Compression garment on the donor site for two weeks; in-office checks at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and doctor-guided follow-up to 12 months.

FAQs

How much does Breast Fat Grafting cost?
Starts at $12,900 and includes board-certified surgeon, private suite, local anesthesia, and 12-month follow-up. With approved credit, payments can be $275–$425 per month after deposit. Exact quote follows an in-person exam; add-ons like PRP enrichment are extra.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes. You’ll relax for monitoring, then head home roughly 45 minutes after surgery with an adult escort.
Will I need special after-care?
Wear a soft sports bra (no underwire) and a donor-site compression garment for two weeks, sleep on your back, and avoid heavy exercise for three weeks. No drains or stitches require removal.
How does fat grafting differ from implants?
Fat offers a modest, natural increase with no foreign material, but cannot match the dramatic boost implants provide. Implant sizing is precise; fat retention varies person-to-person. American Society of Plastic Surgeons
Does the procedure hurt?
Local anesthesia blocks pain; most women describe mild soreness similar to a workout. Over-the-counter pain relievers usually suffice.
Will I see scars?
Micro-cannula entry points (2–3 mm) hide in natural creases and fade quickly.
How long do results last?
About 60–80% of transferred fat survives permanently; weight stability helps maintain volume
Can fat grafting correct implant rippling or gaps?
Yes—fat can camouflage implant edges or refine shape after explant surgery, often in the same session (additional fee).
