Fat grafting with lipo transfer is an exciting advancement in breast augmentation techniques. This dual benefit procedure involves removing fat from one area of the body with liposuction and using it to increase volume in another area. This efficient procedure is an effective option for primary breast augmentation as well as correcting or balancing with breast reconstruction.
HOW FAT TRANSFER BREAST AUGMENTATION WORKS
Although fat grafting breast augmentation is a cutting edge cosmetic procedure, the concept is relatively simple. The first step of the procedure involves carefully removing fat – commonly from the abdomen, thighs or hips –utilizing liposuction. The carefully removed fat is then strategically injected into the breasts to increase volume or improve shape. Dr. Raskin uses autologous fat to reconstruct and augment breasts. She is able to rebuild an entire breast with the patient’s own fat, using the Revolve® fat transfer technique to ensure a high fat cell survival rate. This assures the long-term survival of the transferred fat.
EXCELLENT OPTION FOR POST-MASTECTOMY RECONSTRUCTION
This procedure is especially effective for women who have had a mastectomy because the procedure can recreate your breasts utilizing your own fat with no surgery or the resulting scars. The only tools utilized are needles and syringes, meaning no incisions and minimal patient trauma.

FAQs for Natural Breast Lift and Augmentation
What are the key differences between silicone and saline breast implants?
When choosing between silicone and saline implants, understanding the differences is crucial. Silicone implants are filled with a gel that mimics the feel of natural breast tissue and is preferred by many patients seeking a more natural look and feel. Saline implants, on the other hand, are filled with a sterile saltwater solution, making them slightly firmer. In the rare event of a rupture, the saline is absorbed safely by the body, but silicone ruptures may require medical attention. Dr. Raskin will help you decide which implant type best suits your body and aesthetic goals.
What should I consider when choosing between breast implants and fat grafting for augmentation?
When considering breast augmentation, you may have the option to choose between traditional implants and fat grafting, which uses your own body fat to enhance breast size. Fat grafting offers a natural augmentation and can be an excellent choice for those seeking a more modest increase in volume. However, it is typically less dramatic than implants. If you’re looking for a significant increase in size, implants might be the better option. Fat grafting also involves liposuction to harvest the fat, which can be an added benefit if you’re looking to contour another area of your body.
Who is an ideal candidate for fat grafting breast augmentation?
Ideal candidates for fat grafting breast augmentation are those who want a subtle enhancement and prefer a natural look and feel. Additionally, you need to have enough body fat for the liposuction process. This option is also great for women who are looking to avoid the use of implants. However, it’s essential to have realistic expectations, as fat transfer typically increases breast size by about one cup size. Dr. Raskin will assess your anatomy, goals, and body fat distribution to determine if you’re a good candidate for this procedure.
Can I combine a breast lift with augmentation?
Yes, many women choose to combine a breast lift with breast augmentation to achieve a more youthful, lifted appearance while also increasing breast size. This is especially common for women who have experienced sagging due to aging, pregnancy, or significant weight loss. Combining these procedures allows Dr. Raskin to address both the shape and volume of your breasts in one surgery, delivering a comprehensive result.
What can I expect during the recovery period?
After breast augmentation surgery, most patients experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which typically subside within a few weeks. Dr. Raskin will provide detailed post-operative care instructions, including how to manage pain, what activities to avoid, and when to follow up for your next appointment. You can expect to return to work within one to two weeks, but strenuous activities, including exercise, should be avoided for about six weeks to ensure proper healing.
