Schedule A ConsultationWhat Is A Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
This surgical procedure uses your excess fat taken from your own body to enhance your breasts. It involves extracting extra fat from your abdomen, thighs, flanks, etc. using liposuction and strategically injecting it into your breasts to increase their volume and improve their shape.
Who Is A Good Candidate?
Candidates who desire to undergo fat transfer breast augmentation should meet the following criteria:
- In good health;
- Women who have lost volume due to breastfeeding or modest weight loss;
- Women who have one breast larger than the other (or other asymmetry issues);
- Women who desire a modest volume increase and/or minimal corrections;
- Women who have enough excess fat in other locations to use for their fat transfer;
- Women who understand the limits of fat transfer breast augmentation and have realistic expectations of the results.
Procedure Steps
Surgicare Arts & Aesthetics offers fat transfer breast augmentation in Atlanta in our fully equipped office as outpatient surgery. The procedure normally lasts between 2-3 hours, and you can return home the same day.
During a consultation, the patient and Dr. Angelina will discuss the procedure in detail and outline the desires and final results the patient is looking to achieve. The areas that will undergo liposuction to harvest the fat to be transferred will be identified, and the patient will be given any pre-procedure instructions.
The patient is sedated most often using general anesthesia but may depend on Dr. Angelina’s recommendation and the patient’s preference.
Dr. Angelina will make very small incisions in the area where the excess fat will be taken from, and a small medical device called a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) is inserted through these incisions and used to suction out excess fat. Dr. Angelina prefers using the VASER liposuction technique because it uses ultrasound waves to gently shake the extra fat cells loose without damaging them.
The extracted fat is purified and processed using a centrifuge with a filtration system to remove impurities, excess fluid, and damaged fat cells. This purification process ensures that only healthy, viable fat cells are used for transfer.
The purified fat is then strategically and delicately transferred by injection into the areas of the breast that have been targeted to recontour, correct, or add volume.
Benefits
The fat that is used is your own, so the fat should successfully transfer and not be rejected.
The injected fat will feel just like the rest of their other natural breast tissue, unlike an implant.
The procedure provides dual benefits as it slims down other areas where the fat is gathered as well as enhances the breasts.
Natural breast augmentation with fat transfer is a very safe, low-risk procedure.
The results provide natural-looking contoured breasts.
The results are permanent and will not require maintenance every 10 years like implants.
Recovery
The recovery from natural breast augmentation using fat transfer will vary by patient and will depend on things like the current health of the patient, the number of areas where liposuction was performed, the patient’s normal healing ability, and how well the patient takes care of themselves after the procedure.
Most patients recover anywhere between 1 and three weeks, but Dr. Angelina will provide you with aftercare information based on your specific fat transfer procedure. All patients must avoid strenuous activities for several weeks.
After undergoing liposuction, it is normal to experience swelling and bruising, and you may also experience these side effects on your breasts as a result of the fat injections as well. You may be instructed to wear compression garments for a short time to minimize bruising and swelling, but these side effects will eventually subside.
To get the best results from your fat transfer breast augmentation in Atlanta, you need to follow the aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Angelina with SurgiCare Arts & Aesthetics very carefully.
Results
You can expect to have a subtle increase in volume and a small amount of correction to any skin laxity you had prior to your surgery.
Fat transfer breast augmentation surgery is not designed to add substantial volume, and women who desire to increase the size of their breasts more than one size would benefit from breast implants. Sometimes, fat transfer is used in conjunction with breast implants to add volume while concealing the implant’s edges to create smooth transition lines.
Also, a fat transfer breast augmentation can help correct a small amount of loose skin but will not fix moderate to severe sagging. Some patients combine a breast lift with fat transfer breast surgery to get the best results.
How Much Does A Fat Transfer Cost
in Atlanta, GA?
The cost of fat transfer breast augmentation varies by patient depending on your personal aesthetic goals and your individual circumstances. The cost of a natural breast augmentation using fat transfer starts at around $3,000 and will be dependent upon the extent of the liposuction and fat injections required. During your initial consultation, our team will discuss the details of your procedure and provide you with the exact all-inclusive costs. They will also be happy to share information about our flexible financing options.
In just a few hours through a minimally invasive procedure, your own fat can be used to enhance your breasts. The procedure is preferred by patients who desire an alternative or addition to implants and more natural-looking results.

The most professional, yet compassionate set of people I’ve ever experienced. Dr. Medina, Stacey and Christine are heaven sent! I literally followed Dr. Medina from Boston to Atlanta because he’s an excellent surgeon and will deliver hands down.

Breast Fat Transfer FAQs
What Are The Most Common Side Effects Of Fat Transfer Surgery?
Depending on the liposuction technique used, bruising and swelling are normal, and numbness may also occur. Small incisions are usually made to insert the liposuction tool, but it normally does not require any sutures. Some patients experience tiny scars in these areas. Learn more about fat transfer breast augmentation risks and side effects.
How Long Will My Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Results Last?
The results of your liposuction procedure and fat transfer are considered permanent. Aside from being affected by the natural progression of aging, they will last for many years if you live a healthy lifestyle. This means consuming a nutrient-rich diet that is free from unhealthy high-calorie foods and engaging in regular exercise.
Keep in mind that after fat cells are eliminated through liposuction, they will not come back, but the cells that remain can still grow or shrink in relation to weight gain or weight loss. Also, the fat cells that were permanently moved to your breasts will respond in the very same way. If you gain or lose a substantial amount of weight, you may experience undesirable results.
