Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Candidates
Ideal candidates for breast fat grafting augmentation are patients who are generally healthy and dissatisfied with the shape, symmetry, and volume of their breasts. Women who have or experienced the following are also good candidates for fat transfer breast augmentations:
- Women with asymmetrical breasts
- Women with depressions in their breasts
- Women who have had their breast implants removed
- Women with a reliable amount of body fat
- Women who have experienced multiple capsular contractures with implants
- Women who have been pregnant and breastfed that lost volume in their breasts
- Women with no personal or family history of breast disease
- Women with more fatty and less glandular breasts
What to Expect During Your Consultation
During your breast fat grafting augmentation consultation, I review your medical history with you, including your pre-existing health conditions, current medications, and previous surgeries. Once I have gone over your medical history, I discuss your goals and desired results for the surgery. My team and I will evaluate your breasts and create a customized plan that details how you want your breasts to look and where to harvest the fat from your body. I examine the areas of the body that will best contribute to the fat transfer, including your outer thighs, inner thighs, abdomen, and hips. During this time, I will answer any questions you may have and go over the outcomes of the procedure.

How to Prepare for Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
I recommend the following instructions to prepare for your breast fat transfer:
- Do not consume alcoholic substances for 24 hours before the procedure
- Avoid taking blood thinners or anti-inflammatory medication for at least a week
- Stop smoking six weeks prior to the procedure to improve healing
- Arrange for someone else to drive you before and after your procedure
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation in NJ at Spiro Plastic Surgery
I perform fat grafting breast procedures on an outpatient basis in New Jersey. The procedure typically takes two to three hours to perform depending on how much fat needs to be harvested and transferred to your breasts. After selecting a donor site on your body, I extract the fat from the donor site using liposuction to prevent the fat cells from being destroyed. The fat I harvest is purified and carefully processed, obtaining pure fat to preserve the stem cells. I carefully inject the purified fat into the breast tissue to create volume, fullness, and symmetry in your breasts while improving the breast shape.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Recovery
Your initial recovery from a fat grafting breast procedure is 1-3 days. You may experience soreness, tenderness, and bruising, but over the next few weeks after your procedure the swelling and soreness will go down. The complete recovery time for the procedure can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks.
Although fat transfer breast augmentations are less invasive, you are recovering from two procedures: liposuction and fat grafting. Liposuction can take a week for the bruising and swelling to resolve and 3-6 months for you to fully recover. I will continue to monitor you during your recovery, and advise you on when you can resume your normal activities. You will start to see full and natural results six months after the procedure, revealing better proportions and a more attractive silhouette!
