Fat grafting is a powerful adjunct procedure used in breast surgery, to enhance and improve the appearance of reconstructed breasts. This procedure allows for volume restoration in specific areas of a breast, where extra volume is needed around either implants or autologous tissue flaps.

​

Fat grafting is performed by using liposuction to remove fat from other parts of a patient's own body. This fat is then immediately washed in the operating room, and placed into injection syringes. It is then injected directly into the patient's breast, as a filler, to the necessary areas. This is usually injected under the breast skin, to give the breast skin a rejuvenated, enhanced volume appearance. This technique is also used to better mask any visible breast implant edges.

​

Once injected into the patient's breast, this fat heals to the surrounding tissue, and stays permanently in this new location, offering long term effect and benefits.

​

Because this process involves only liposuction and reinjection of fat using liposuction and injections, there are no large scars, and the procedure is efficient and quick.
