Fat transfer involves using a patient’s own fat tissue, taken from another area of the body, to modify breast volume or contour. Suitability and expected outcomes vary between individuals.
• Uses the patient’s own tissue rather than implants.
• May involve both liposuction and fat injection procedures.
• Results and recovery times vary depending on anatomy, fat availability, and healing response.
• All surgical procedures carry risks, including infection, changes in breast shape, or partial fat absorption.
Further details, including potential risks and expected recovery, are discussed during a consultation. Detailed risks are available in our FAQs.
Your safety and wellbeing are our highest priorities. Before recommending any procedure, your doctor will assess your overall health, medical history, and aesthetic goals. Together, we’ll discuss realistic outcomes and whether this procedure aligns with what you hope to achieve.
This procedure may be appropriate for individuals who:
• Prefer a modest change in breast volume.
• Have adequate fat must be available for safe harvesting and transfer.
• Prefer an autologous (your own tissue) approach without synthetic materials.
• Have noticed changes in breast volume following ageing, pregnancy, or weight changes.
Every surgical procedure carries potential risks, including infection, asymmetry, or the need for revision. Results vary from person to person depending on individual healing, fat retention, and other health factors. Your doctor will provide complete information on benefits, limitations, and recovery expectations before proceeding.
Your journey starts with a thorough consultation. Your doctor will review your medical history, assess your breast and body profile, and discuss your goals. This helps determine whether fat transfer is suitable for you and allows you to understand the expected outcomes, benefits, and potential risks.
Before your procedure, you’ll receive detailed pre-operative instructions to help you prepare. These may include lifestyle or medication adjustments. All your questions about the process, anaesthesia, and recovery will be addressed clearly during this stage.
Fat is removed through liposuction, processed, and transferred to the breasts. The amount transferred and final contour depend on individual anatomy and fat survival. Outcomes vary between individuals.
Recovery time varies from person to person. You’ll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions and attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
Your practitioner will guide you on when you can resume normal activities and what to expect in the weeks following surgery.
