You’ll be recovering from both liposuction and fat transfer, so expect mild soreness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the breasts and donor areas.
Enhancement with Your Natural Tissue
Breast fat grafting uses excess fat from another area of the body to enhance breast shape, improve contour, or restore lost volume. This technique offers subtle, natural-looking results without implants while simultaneously contouring donor areas.
What It Treats:
-
Smaller breasts
-
Lack of volume
-
Asymmetrical breasts
Breast Fat Grafting Overview
Enhance breast shape while contouring another area of your body.
The Ideal
Candidate
Breast fat grafting may be right for you if you want to modestly increase breast volume using fat from your body while also contouring your shape with liposuction.
Things to
Consider
This procedure works best when you have enough donor fat available and want subtle, natural-looking enhancement rather than the larger size increase implants can provide.
What to Expect
Consultation
Dr. Spiro reviews your goals, medical history, breasts, and donor areas to create a custom fat transfer plan.
Planning
Dr. Spiro plans your procedure around breast shape, donor fat availability, and the amount of volume he can add.
Pre-Operation
You may need breast imaging, blood work, drug testing, an EKG, hematology clearance, and temporary medication changes before surgery.
Surgery
Dr. Spiro performs surgery under general anesthesia, using liposuction to harvest, purify, and transfer fat with precision in an effort to provide the highest percentage of take.
Where Your Vision Takes Shape
Discover a personalized plan built around your features, goals, and long-term outcomes. Your consultation is a focused, one-on-one conversation designed to bring clarity, guide decisions, and outline the most appropriate approach for you.
It’s important to wear bras or compression garments to help reduce swelling and support the contours Dr. Spiro creates with liposuction.
Most patients can return to work within a few days. Dr. Spiro monitors your progress and lets you know when it’s safe to resume normal activities.
You will notice initial results immediately, while your final outcome continues to develop over time. Around 6 months after surgery, as healing completes, the full result is revealed with improved proportions and a more attractive silhouette.
It is impossible for all of the transferred fat to survive long-term. However, Dr. Spiro’s technique consistently provides a high percentage of fat take. Final volume depends on how much fat establishes a lasting blood supply after transfer.
The Foundation of Your Journey
Good outcomes don’t happen by chance—they’re built with purpose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Typical donor sites include the abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs, hips, and lower back. Dr. Spiro uses an individualized approach to select where to remove fat based on your body composition and aesthetic goals, often choosing sites that will benefit from additional contouring. This dual benefit makes fat grafting a popular choice for body contouring.
Typically, 60–80% of the fat cells survive, with the results visible after several months. Dr. Spiro may recommend follow-up procedures for optimal outcomes.
Yes. Dr. Spiro specializes in this technique in New Jersey. Fat graft breast augmentation is an advanced procedure where Dr. Spiro uses a combination of implants and fat grafting together, merging the structural benefits of implants with the natural contouring power of fat grafting.
In this way, he creates more refined, organic-looking results. Implants provide volume and projection, while fat grafting sculpts, softens transitions, and enhances areas like the cleavage or outer curves that implants alone may not fully address.
Depending on your goals, Dr. Spiro may perform this as a single surgery or in stages, allowing the implants to settle before precisely placing fat for optimal symmetry and long-term retention.
Scarring from fat grafting breast augmentation is possible but minimal. This is thanks to Dr. Spiro’s masterful use of fine cannulas for fat injection and small, strategically placed incisions for liposuction. He uses expert surgical judgement to select incision sites, such as the inner thighs, flanks, or lower abdomen, so the remaining marks are discreet and fade over time. Injection sites on the breasts often heal without noticeable scarring.
Dr. Spiro provides patients with a comprehensive post-operative care plan to help scars heal and fade. Instructions include keeping incisions clean and dry during the initial healing phase, avoiding sun exposure to prevent pigmentation changes, and using medical-grade scar treatments such as silicone gels or sheets.
The amount depends on your goals and anatomy. Thanks to his decades of experience, Dr. Spiro is a master of this technique in New Jersey. With fat graft breast augmentation, he injects around 100 to 400cc of fat per breast, which is an increase of approximately one cup size. Because your body will naturally reabsorb some fat, he may slightly overfill your breasts or recommend follow-ups to achieve elegant results.
Yes. Since fat grafting employs tissue from another part of your body, the outcomes will harmonize naturally with your current breast shape. This technique is ideal for patients seeking subtle volume, improved shape, and softness.
Fat grafting is ideal for patients seeking a modest, natural-looking enhancement without implants in New Jersey. Fat graft breast augmentation patients should have sufficient donor fat, be in good health, and maintain a stable weight. It’s especially suitable for women who want to correct asymmetry, restore volume after pregnancy or weight loss, or avoid synthetic materials.
During your consultation, Dr. Spiro assesses your anatomy and goals to determine if this technique is the best fit.
