Fat Grafting

Fat Grafting

Natural Enhancement for Lasting Beauty

Fat grafting is a versatile option that can correct surface concavities, thin or atrophied skin, and volume deficiency of the breast.

Fat grafting, often termed fat transfer, involves the process of harvesting fat through liposuction, fat processing, and delivering fat to the breast. It is commonly used to smoothen any lumps, bumps, or surface irregularities of the skin after mastectomy.

For some patients, imperfections from their breast reconstruction are related to thin or stretching skin. This will appear as implant rippling or abrupt visibility of the implant mound in the upper chest. Fat grafting can thicken the skin and cushion the skin-implant interface to provide a natural and youthful appearance of the breast. Your surgeon may harvest fat from a single part of the body (such as your abdomen) or multiple parts of the body (such as your arms and thighs). Fat can also be transferred to fill lumpectomy defects or augment breast volume after your reconstruction.
