Achieve Natural Breast Enhancement With Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation in San Jose

Also known as autologous fat transfer or fat grafting, fat transfer breast augmentation is an ideal way to achieve a moderate increase in breast volume while creating natural-looking and -feeling breasts. Autologous means it comes from the patient's tissue, so the results are as natural as possible; it's perfect for the woman who doesn't want the hassle or complications that come with implants. When you undergo fat transfer breast augmentation at Aesthetx, you can also choose to combine the procedure with a breast lift or with a breast augmentation to refine the results.

What Is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

Fat transfer breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts using the patient's own fat. The process involves liposuction to remove fat from areas of the body with excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The harvested fat is then purified and carefully injected into the breasts to achieve the desired volume and contour. This method provides a natural look and feel, avoiding the use of synthetic implants and reducing the risk of allergic reactions or complications associated with foreign materials.

The Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Procedure at Aesthetx

Consultation and Assessment

Before you undergo fat transfer breast augmentation at Aesthetx, you'll sit down for a private consultation with Dr. Zeidler or one of our other renowned cosmetic surgeons. During your consultation, your provider will take the time to understand your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. They will perform a detailed physical examination to assess your suitability for the procedure and identify potential donor areas for fat harvesting.

Surgical Planning

Advanced imaging and measurements may be used to help plan the surgery and visualize the expected results. Your surgeon will explain the procedure in detail, including the benefits, risks, and what to expect during recovery. They will also answer any questions you have, ensuring you feel informed and confident about your decision.

Fat Transfer Process

The basic idea for a fat transfer to the breast is simple enough; first, your surgeon extracts fat from places with extra to give, processes it, and then introduces it into the breast through small, strategically placed injections. To acquire the fat, Aesthetx uses a variety of modern liposuction systems; we tailor the choice of which to use to your body and your desired results.

Fat Extraction Techniques

The Hydrasolve tissue liquefaction liposuction system can achieve exceptionally smooth outcomes as a fat extraction system that gently removes fat from the body without disturbing the surrounding tissue. This process ensures the fat is as clean and high-quality as possible. Other forms of liposuction we use are power-assisted liposuction and VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction.

Fat Processing with PureGraft

Aesthetx uses PureGraft, one of the most advanced fat-processing systems in the industry. The purer a graft is, the more likely it is to survive; by relying on a completely enclosed, sterile lipolysis system, PureGraft creates some of the most viable, most concentrated pure grafts for longer-lasting and predictable results and more efficient fat transfers.

Expertise in Advanced Technology

Not only is Aesthetx proud to embrace such state-of-the-art technology, but our Dr. Zeidler also has a long history with Hydrasolve and PureGraft, traveling around the country and educating other physicians on their benefits as some of the most advanced tools for fat transfer to the breast.

What Is the Recovery Like After Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

If you receive a breast augmentation with fat transfer by itself, you should be able to return to work within two to five days. In many cases, patients choose to combine this procedure with a breast lift or augmentation, which can extend recovery times.

If your job requires strenuous activity or heavy lifting, we strongly recommend planning for additional time to heal before returning to work. Talk to your surgeon about what your work responsibilities entail, and we can help provide an exact answer as to how long you'll need.

Typically, it's best to wait at least three to four weeks before engaging in strenuous exercise. You may also be prescribed a special support garment to wear for several weeks after the procedure.

It's normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and soreness around the breasts as well as the area where your excess fat was harvested. These symptoms should subside gradually on their own, but they can also be managed with pain medication and periodically applying a cold pack.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation FAQ

If I have a low BMI, should I gain weight before fat transfer?

Will I get both liposuction and breast augmentation on the same day?

How much does a fat transfer breast augmentation cost?

If I have a low BMI, should I gain weight before fat transfer?

For some thin patients, fat transfer is not an ideal solution. If you don't have enough fat to transfer to the breasts, gaining weight can seem like the answer – but it's unfortunately more complicated than putting on a few extra pounds.

Generally, patients who gain weight before surgery are quite likely to return to their previous natural weight post-op. As such, your body may shrink the fat cells we've transferred, nullifying any augmentation. Ideally, fat transfer patients should be at their ideal, maintainable weight before transfer.

Will I get both liposuction and breast augmentation on the same day?

Yes, both liposuction and fat transfer augmentation happen within the same appointment. The combined benefits of a slimmer figure and enhanced breasts are a major draw to this stunning procedure.

How much does a fat transfer breast augmentation cost?

Breast augmentation with fat transfer costs can vary from one patient to the next. Depending on your goals, needs, and lifestyle, we'll create a customized treatment plan. Because each operation is as unique as you are, there's no set price.

During your consultation, we'll be able to give you an all-inclusive price estimate, which includes pre- and post-op appointment fees, surgeon costs, surgery center prices, and the cost of anesthesia. If you have any further questions, please give us a call.
