By removing unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks and then injecting those fat cells into the breasts, patients can enjoy a more contoured appearance as well as added breast volume. Led by triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Halpern, the entire Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery team is experienced in their craft and committed to providing patients with outstanding patient care and incredible aesthetic results.

What is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

A More Natural Option

Fat transfer breast augmentation is a more natural alternative to traditional implants and uses a patient's own fat to enhance breast size and shape. Starting with liposuction in areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs to remove excess fat, it is then purified and carefully injected into the breasts. The result is a natural-looking volume enhancement in the breasts with the added benefit of body contouring in donor areas. This method eliminates the need for synthetic implants and the possible risks that come with traditional implants.

Better, Longer-Lasting Results with the Viality System

At Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery, Inc., Dr. David Halpern takes fat transfer to the next level by using the Viality system—an advanced technology designed to help the transferred fat survive better and last longer. Developed by Sientra (now part of Tiger Med), this system gently cleans and preps the fat using a special washing process, improving how well it holds up after the transfer. The result is a smoother, more reliable result with better fat retention, helping you enjoy fuller, more natural-looking breasts for years to come.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Candidates

Contoured To You

This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking a modest increase in breast volume, those who want a natural alternative to implants, or patients who previously had implants removed and now desire a fuller look through fat transfer. Candidates should be in good overall health, at or near their goal weight, and have sufficient subcutaneous fat reserves for transfer.

Transformation Is In The Works

Consultation and Preparation

During your initial consultation, Dr. Halpern will learn about your overall health and aesthetic goals and assess fat availability for transfer. Together, you can decide if this procedure is right for you. Then, our team will create a customized treatment plan that includes expected outcomes, potential risks, and any additional procedures that may enhance your results. Patients may be advised to maintain a stable weight, avoid smoking, and pause certain medications leading up to the procedure to optimize healing and fat graft retention.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Procedure

Expert Treatment, Refined Results

Fat transfer breast augmentation may be performed either under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s needs, and it usually lasts about two to four hours.

First, liposuction is used to extract fat from targeted areas and then the harvested fat is purified by placing it in a centrifuge. Finally, the refined fat is strategically and precisely injected into the breasts in layers, ensuring smooth, even distribution for natural-looking volume and shape.

The Best Of Both

Combining Your Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation with a Breast Lift or Liposuction

For a balanced and comprehensive transformation, as well as concurrent recovery, many patients opt to combine fat-transfer breast augmentation with a breast lift or additional liposuction. A breast lift can correct sagging by removing excess skin and repositioning the breasts for a youthful, lifted look, along with the added volume from the fat transfer. Liposuction can also be used beyond what is necessary for the transfer and can enhance results in the donor areas or other problem areas.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

While this procedure tends to have an easier recovery than with traditional implant surgery, patients should keep in mind that they will also be recovering from liposuction in the donor area. This means two areas that will need to be monitored for optimal healing. Patients may experience some bruising or tenderness in either area and recovery typically lasts about one week to ten days. As the breast tissue settles and adjusts to the fat grafts, it may take as long as six months for final results to appear.
