Who may be a suitable candidate for Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer?

Breast augmentation with fat transfer is a surgical procedure that uses the patient’s own fat to create a naturally fuller breast shape without implants or synthetic materials.

INDICATIONS

Breast augmentation with fat transfer may be suitable for patients who:

• Want a moderate increase in breast volume, often in the range of approximately half to one cup size.
• Have enough donor fat that can be safely collected from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or back.
• Have lost breast fullness after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.
• Have mild to moderate asymmetry between the breasts.
• Prefer their own tissue rather than synthetic implants.
• Are in good general health and maintain a reasonably stable weight.
• Understand that some transferred fat is naturally absorbed and that final volume develops gradually.Breast

CONTRAINDICATIONS

The procedure may not be appropriate, or may need to be delayed, when:

• There is insufficient donor fat because of very low body fat or limited donor areas.
• The desired size increase is greater than can reasonably be achieved with fat transfer alone.
• Weight is unstable, pregnancy is planned soon, or major body changes are expected.
• Uncontrolled medical conditions, bleeding disorders, or wound-healing concerns increase surgical risk.
• The patient smokes and cannot follow the recommended cessation requirements before surgery.
• There are unexplained breast lumps, cysts, or changes that require evaluation first.
• Expectations do not account for partial fat absorption or the possible need for an additional session.Breast
