Overview
We believe in providing personalised solutions to help you achieve your desired breast shape and size. Breast lipomodelling, also known as fat transfer breast augmentation, offers a natural approach to enhancing your breasts using your own body fat. Our team will utilise this advanced technique, ensuring you achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.
What is Breast Lipomodelling?
Breast lipomodelling is a procedure that uses liposuction to harvest fat from areas of the body where it is unwanted, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. This fat is then purified and injected into the breasts to enhance their size, shape, and symmetry. This technique can be used for primary breast augmentation or in conjunction with breast implants for added volume and natural contouring and cleavage formation.
Benefits
Natural Look and Feel: Since the procedure uses your own fat, the results are soft and natural-looking.
Dual Benefits: Achieve body contouring from liposuction of donor areas while enhancing your breasts.
Minimal Scarring: Small incisions for liposuction and fat injection result in minimal scarring.
Reduced Risk of Allergic Reactions: Using your own fat reduces the risk of adverse reactions or allergies.
Customized Results: Fat can be strategically placed to correct asymmetry and improve overall breast shape.
Components of the Operation
Breast lipomodelling for augmentation involves several steps:
Liposuction: Fat is harvested from donor areas using liposuction. Common donor sites include the abdomen, thighs, and flanks.
Purification: The harvested fat is purified to remove any impurities, ensuring only healthy fat cells are used for injection.
Injection: Purified fat is carefully injected into the breasts in multiple layers to achieve the desired size and shape. Our surgeons meticulously sculpt the breasts to ensure natural-looking results. If used in combination to implants, fat can be used to improve shape and improve your cleavage.
Fat Transfer with Implants
For patients seeking more significant augmentation or a combination of firmness and natural contouring, fat transfer can be used alongside breast implants:
Implant Placement: Breast implants are inserted to achieve the desired volume and projection.
Fat Injection: Purified fat is injected around the implants to smooth contours, correct asymmetries, and create a more natural transition between the implant and the breast tissue.
Recovery
Recovery from breast lipomodelling varies for each individual, but general guidelines include:
Initial Recovery: Most patients take 1-2 weeks off from work and normal activities to rest and heal.
Wearing a Support Bra: A surgical bra or support garment is recommended to minimize swelling and support the breasts during the healing process.
Managing Discomfort: Pain and discomfort can be managed with prescribed medications. Swelling and bruising in both the donor and breast areas are common but subside over time.
Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ups are necessary to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.
Resuming Activities: Light activities can be resumed after a few weeks, but strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks.
Scar Care: Specific instructions on scar care will be provided to promote healing and minimize scar appearance
