What should you remember when deciding to undergo breast augmentation with your own fat*

This procedure carries a low risk of complications, a relatively short recovery time, and no body reaction or rejection of the graft. The downside of this method is the possibility of enlarging the breasts by one size. In patients who are slim and have small reserves of adipose tissue, this method cannot be used.

The initial volume of transplanted adipose tissue is reduced by up to 50%, and the final effect of the procedure is visible even after 6 weeks from the procedure. Patients often have to repeat the procedure to achieve the expected effect.

The course of breast augmentation with your own fat

The procedure itself consists of two stages, the collection of fat tissue – liposuction and the administration of the collected fat to the target site. The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, performed under local or general anesthesia.

Post-treatment recommendations

After the procedure, dressings and a compression garment are applied. Depending on the type of anesthesia used, the patient remains in the hospital for several hours or leaves the Hospital after the procedure.

After the procedure, check-ups are necessary at the time set by the doctor. Convalescence lasts about a few days. In the first period, you should avoid: physical exertion, hot baths, sauna and solarium. The area where the fat tissue was taken should be massaged according to the doctor's recommendations.

The method of breast augmentation with one's own fat is an alternative for patients who want to achieve the effect of breast augmentation, but not necessarily with the help of a foreign body such as a breast implant . An undoubted advantage of the procedure is also the simultaneous body shaping when taking fat tissue from a given part of the body and transplanting it to the breast.
