Breast Augmentation with Fat Natural Breast
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
Breast augmentation with fat, often referred to as “natural breast augmentation” or “fat grafting breast enhancement,” is a popular, minimally invasive alternative to traditional breast implants. Unlike implants, which involve inserting foreign materials into the body, fat transfer uses a patient’s own fat, harvested from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, and transfers it to the breasts. This approach achieves a more natural look and feel, with additional benefits of body contouring in areas from which the fat is removed.
The procedure begins with liposuction to harvest fat from specific areas. The collected fat undergoes a purification process to ensure that only viable, healthy fat cells are used for the transfer. Once purified, the fat is injected strategically into the breast tissue, layer by layer, to achieve a fuller, more natural contour. The result is a subtle yet noticeable enhancement that provides an organic look and feel, ideal for individuals looking to avoid the artificial feel of implants.
Natural breast augmentation with fat is suitable for those seeking a moderate increase in breast size without the maintenance or risks associated with implants. However, it’s important to note that the amount of enhancement is limited by the available fat in the patient’s body and the viability of the transferred fat cells, as not all will survive the process. This technique is also appealing because it results in fewer visible scars than traditional breast augmentation methods, as the incisions for liposuction and fat transfer are generally small.
Procedure Duration
The total time for a breast augmentation with fat transfer varies, typically lasting between 3 to 5 hours. This timeline can fluctuate depending on the extent of fat harvesting, the complexity of fat purification, and the precision required for fat injection. The first stage of the procedure involves liposuction, which can take up to 2 hours, as fat is carefully removed from chosen areas to optimize both the aesthetic outcome of the breast and the donor site.
Once the fat is harvested, it undergoes a purification process, which usually lasts about 30 minutes. This step ensures that the best-quality fat cells are retained and prepared for transfer to the breasts. After purification, the surgeon injects the fat into the breasts using specialized cannulas in a meticulous, layered fashion. This step requires skill and precision, as the surgeon must ensure the fat is distributed evenly and integrates well with the natural tissue.
Recovery from this procedure varies, but patients can expect an initial healing period of 1 to 2 weeks, during which they may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Complete results may take several months to become apparent, as the body adapts and the transferred fat cells settle. Most patients resume light activities within a week, but they are advised to avoid strenuous activities and pressure on the breasts for at least a month.
Benefits
- Natural Appearance: Provides a subtle enhancement with a natural look and feel, using the patient’s own fat.
- Dual Benefit of Body Contouring: Fat is harvested from areas with excess fat, helping to contour areas like the abdomen or thighs.
- Minimally Invasive: Uses smaller incisions, reducing scarring and overall surgical impact.
- Lower Risk of Rejection or Allergic Reaction: Since the patient’s own tissue is used, the risk of rejection or adverse reactions is minimized.
- Long-term Results: Provides a durable solution with results that can last years, provided weight is maintained.

Risks & Considerations
- Fat Absorption: Not all transferred fat cells will survive, which may lead to a partial loss of volume over time. Patients may require additional sessions to achieve their desired results.
- Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection at the incision sites or in the injected area, which requires vigilant aftercare and adherence to hygiene protocols.
- Asymmetry: There is a risk of uneven fat distribution, resulting in asymmetry that might require corrective procedures.
- Necrosis: Fat necrosis, where fat cells die, can occur, leading to hard lumps or calcification within the breast tissue.
- Longer Procedure and Recovery Time: Since fat grafting involves liposuction and transfer, it may take longer than traditional breast augmentation procedures, both in surgery and recovery.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
When selecting a doctor and hospital for natural breast augmentation, prioritize experience and certification. Look for surgeons certified in plastic surgery with specific expertise in fat transfer techniques. Consider checking if the surgeon has undergone specialized training or has significant experience with fat grafting procedures, as this skill is crucial to achieving optimal results.
Choosing a hospital or clinic with a strong reputation in cosmetic surgery and advanced technology is equally essential. Make sure the facility adheres to high safety and hygiene standards, offers transparent pricing, and provides comprehensive pre- and post-operative care. Opt for hospitals that are equipped with the latest tools and provide a comfortable and safe environment for recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
