Breast fat transfer, also known as fat transfer breast augmentation, is a procedure that uses liposuction to harvest fat from one area of your body, which is then purified and injected into the breasts to increase their size and improve their shape.
During the procedure, Dr. Meegan Gruber will use liposuction to remove fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The harvested fat is then processed and injected into the breasts to achieve the desired enhancement. This procedure is also known as autologous fat transfer.
Yes, Dr. Meegan Gruber can perform awake breast fat transfer awake using local anesthesia. This approach allows patients to remain awake and comfortable throughout the procedure, avoiding the need for general anesthesia.
Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. Swelling and bruising may persist for a few weeks, and final results are typically visible after a few months as the transferred fat settles and integrates with the breast tissue.
Breast fat transfer may be ideal if you are looking for a natural enhancement and have enough body fat to donate for the procedure. A consultation with Dr. Gruber will help determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure and the best approach for your specific needs.
Yes, breast fat transfer can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as a breast lift or breast reconstruction, to achieve comprehensive results. This combined approach allows for a more youthful and balanced appearance.
