Is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

Is fat transfer the same thing as breast augmentation? Today we discuss this common question in the article below.

Understanding the Procedure

Fat transfer is used during a breast augmentation.

During this procedure, liposuction is used to remove fat from one area of your body in order for it to be injected into the breasts for a smoother, more voluptuous shape.

What Are the Risks?

As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with fat transfer breast augmentation.

These risks include cysts, infection, microcalcification, and more.

How Can I Improve My Results?

Your doctor can help you take certain steps before your surgery including using a tissue expansion system to improve your potential results from this treatment.

You may also be required to return for follow up injections in order to improve the shape in your breasts following your surgery.

How to Choose the Right Doctor for Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

The first and perhaps most important thing to look for when locating a reputable surgeon to perform your surgeon is to ensure that they are board certified as a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

This information is easily found online.

It is also a good idea to schedule a consultation with a potential surgeon in order to see pictures of past patients and to make sure you feel comfortable working with this doctor.
