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.

Curious if your own fat can perfect your profile? Book a surgeon-led consult.

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).
Is nasolabial-fold fat grafting the same as a facelift?
No. Fat grafting fills creases; a facelift lifts and repositions deeper tissues. Fat transfer offers a modest, natural improvement and can delay—but not replace—the need for surgical lifting if significant skin laxity develops.
