Do you want to restore your saggy breasts or enhance their shape and make them look fuller? Breast augmentation is a procedure through which you can change the size or shape of your breasts with fat grafting or lipofilling.
Breast augmentation procedures are getting more and more popular among women of all age groups. After weight loss or pregnancy, you can get it to restore the volume or even improve the contouring or asymmetry. Breast augmentation is also beneficial in breast cancer patients and helps in the restoration of focal defects.
In aged women, severe breast sagging (breast ptosis) cannot be corrected by breast augmentation, and a procedure called mastopexy (commonly known as breast uplift) is required to correct the situation. Sometimes surgeons combine both processes to get the best results.

Why Breast Augmentation with fat is better than silicone implants?
Natural Look:
You might have heard about the word “boob job” in so many movies or seasons or a model or an actress getting “silicone breasts.” You may not want to look that dramatic.
So fat transfer breast augmentation is here at your rescue. It is a good option for women looking for more natural results and who wish to avoid having silicone implants. Breast enlargement can also be achieved by getting fat from your body and grafting it to your breasts to achieve the desired results.
Less invasive
Also, fat transfer surgery is minor and does not involve many invasions. Your surgeon will simply inject the fat into your breasts and this means there won’t be any big cuts or scars.
Improves shapes and contours
Silicone implants only help in increasing the size whereas with the fat transfer you can define the shape and contours of your breasts easily.
Improvement of two body parts with one procedure
The most interesting benefit of fat grafting is that your doctor will do liposuction from the fat parts of your body, and isn’t it the best thing? You’ll get two treatments done in one?
Disadvantages of Fat grafting over silicone implants:
Every surgical procedure has some drawbacks and it depends on whether you prefer the pros over the cons. Also, a surgeon can decide what’s the best method for you in the long term.
Take longer time to complete
Fat grafting procedures take longer to complete (mostly two to three hours) and need a little bit of maintenance. You might need to go for 2 to 3 follow-ups.
Results are not predictable
In fat grafting, the amount of fat your doctor injects is not equal to the volume you’ll get. Sometimes after a few months of the surgery, your body can absorb some of the injected fat. But since the amount of fat used in the process is unlimited, so your surgeon can use as much as he wants. So, it is always recommended to choose a highly experienced and qualified surgeon for the procedure.
