Breast augmentation with autologous fat (also called lipofilling) is an alternative to traditional breast augmentation procedures that use a silicone or saline implant. In the true sense of the word, fat is transferred to achieve a natural result of the breast surgery. The procedure is also known as lipofilling. Through a series of multiple steps, I can harvest fat from one area of the body and transfer it to the breasts, giving them a fuller, more voluminous appearance.

First, the fat is taken from your body. Either from the abdomen, waist, thighs or another area. During liposuction, I perform either water assisted liposuction (“Water Assisted Liposuction, WAL”) or PAL (“Power Assisted Liposuction”). 
It is important to know that I do not do this just for the purpose of liposuction. I also use this liposuction as a way to achieve beautiful

Body Contouring. The fat is then treated to extract and activate the stem cells. The stem cells are then injected into the breast in a concentrated form. I inject the fat precisely and gently into the breasts, always respecting the natural shape.

I have developed a procedure for breast augmentation with lipofilling, which means that I use the patient’s own fatty tissue, which is a rich source of stem cells and regenerative cells, to give women the opportunity to enlarge their breasts. The stem cells allow the transferred fat tissue to expand its own blood supply and become an integral part of the breast. This enables breast augmentation with particularly natural results.

What results can I expect after breast augmentation with autologous fat?aThe final result is a breast augmentation with a particularly natural result. Since no foreign body is used, lipofilling does not have the complications associated with implants. Unlike traditional implants, this procedure will not interfere with a future mammogram or breastfeeding. The technique requires no general anesthesia, usually only a 48-hour recovery period, and leaves lasting results.
After the injection, the stem cells can help:

• Grow new blood vessels to supply the fat.
• Release anti-inflammatory substances to aid in healing.
• Release growth factors to tighten the skin on top of the breast.

Advances in the field of breast augmentation with autologous fat can increase your breast size by half to a full cup size. In many cases, this depends on how your body reacts to the re-injected fat. There is some absorption of the fat that is to be expected. However, the result of lipofilling is a permanent, very natural increase in breast size.

New techniques ensure greater “survival” of the fat than in the past. Nowadays I use a technique that achieves a “survival rate” of up to 85% of the injected fat. But in fact, a greater amount of fat may be reabsorbed by your body. In this case, and if you are not satisfied with the final result, we may have to repeat the procedure.

There are advantages to each of the different breast augmentation procedures using autologous fat or implants. Overall, breast augmentation with autologous fat has fewer potential problems and can increase breasts up to a full cup size in a single treatment. However, if you have been thinking about augmenting your breasts and you would not be satisfied with less than a 2-3 size increase in cup size, then you should definitely consider breast implants.

Because I use your own tissue, there is no chance of an adverse reaction to foreign bodies, as can be the case with traditional silicone implants. What this means for you is that implant complications, such as capsular contracture (hard breast implants), are eliminated and there is no risk of rupture of the implants. Any other complication associated with artificial implants becomes null and void with breast augmentation using autologous fat.

This increasingly popular method of lipofilling has the added advantage of leaving no scars on the breast.

Yes, if you are looking for moderate breast augmentation with natural results. Breast augmentation with autologous fat is ideal for women who have lost fullness in their breasts due to age, weight fluctuations and breastfeeding. Also, in the event that you have had a procedure or illness and the shape or size of your breast has been affected, reconstructing your breast with lipofilling could be ideal for you. Whether you have just had a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or other procedure, natural-looking breast reconstruction could be an option for you to return your breast to its original condition. Because you are using your own tissue, there is no risk of encountering common implant-related problems.
