Fat Grafting to the breast can give patients a soften shape and moderate increase in breast size. Patients looking to achieve very natural looking results, with an increase of half to a full cup size, are excellent candidates for lipofilling alone. One of the beauties of this procedure is that it can be combined with other breast enhancements such as augmentation with implants or a breast lift to give more dramatic results. Lipofilling can be used for patients who wish to have these procedures and additionally make custom shaping enhancements. It is also possible to use fat transfer for breast reconstruction in the case where a woman has had a mastectomy. Ideal candidates have adequate sites for donor fat, are in good health, and can undergo anesthesia.

The fat used to inject the breast is harvested from another area on the body with a special cannula. This fat is then prepared through a purifying process that removes unwanted components. Using a special technique, the fat is then injected into the breast tissue and under the skin of the breast. Not all fat that is injected will survive. For this reason, Dr. Mok evenly distributes the fat into multiple channels to give the cells maximum chance of survival. Fat injection not only creates beautiful breast augmentation results, but the fat can be taken from the hips, thighs and abdomen to create a more overall balance and curve to the body.

When are the results of breast fat grafting surgery noticeable?



The results of breast fat grafting surgery are noticeable immediately. However, it takes about three to five months for the final results to become actualized, as this is how long it takes for the body to heal completely and for any residual swelling to improve.
