But what is FAT GRAFTING?
Micro-fat grafting, or autologous transfer, involves harvesting fat from one part of the body (usually the flanks, hips, abdomen, thighs or lower back), and then re-injected into the needed areas. Fat grafting may have to be done more than once since fat survival varies with location: it is is best in areas which exhibit the least movement. For example, fat grafts in the cheeks survive better than in the lips or Buttocks. Furthermore, graft survival is variable from one patient to the other. Fat grafting carries a very low risk of complications which may include infection, asymmetry, or lumpiness. These occurrences are rarely seen. The advantage is that it is your own natural tissue, it is soft and it is permanent.
Breast Augmentation is a personal choice usually patients prefer a modest augmentation and one that is proportionate to their body. A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon can help you make the right choices customized for you.
Immediate improvement in patients’ symptoms is frequently seen seen after breast reduction surgery. Typically, breast hypertophy occurs in both breasts and happens at puberty or soon thereafter.
