Hybrid Breast Augmentation at Dr. Kelly® – Implant and Fat Transfer, Thoughtfully Combined

Hybrid breast augmentation – also known as composite breast augmentation – is a surgical procedure that combines two well-established methods in a single operation:

1. Breast implant – for volume, projection, and defined shape
2. Autologous fat transfer (lipofilling) – for natural transitions, softer contours, and a more lifelike feel

The implant is intentionally chosen smaller than in a classic augmentation. The remaining volume is provided by your own fat tissue – placed precisely in the areas where implants alone often appear unnatural: the upper pole, the décolletage, and the lateral transitions.

The result is a breast appearance that is indistinguishable from nature.

The procedure takes place in our own AQC-certified operating suite in Hünenberg See (Zug). No busy hospitals. No changing of care teams. Your team knows you – and you know your team.

Step 1 – Fat Harvesting (Liposuction)

We begin by gently removing fat tissue from suitable donor areas – typically the abdomen, waist, thighs, or flanks. This is a precise, careful liposuction that simultaneously serves as body contouring. The harvested fat is then specially processed and purified.

Step 2 – Implant Placement

As in classic breast augmentation, a high-quality silicone implant is placed. We prefer the Dual-Plane technique: the upper portion of the implant sits beneath the pectoral muscle, while the lower portion lies under the glandular tissue. This reduces the risk of capsular contracture and creates a natural-looking transition. The implant is chosen slightly smaller than would be needed for the full desired volume – because the fat transfer in the next step completes the picture.

Step 3 – Fat Injection

The processed fat is injected in fine layers, precisely and gently, into the breast – primarily in the upper pole, the lateral areas, and the décolletage. There, it conceals implant edges, creates soft transitions, and gives the breast the natural appearance that an implant alone cannot achieve.

Total duration: 2 – 2.5 hours. You can go home the same day. We accompany you through the entire aftercare – personally, directly, and reachable around the clock.

Pure fat transfer (lipofilling) is an elegant method for moderate augmentation – and for women who wish to avoid foreign materials entirely. But it, too, has limits.

With pure lipofilling, we can typically increase breast size by half to one full cup size. Those who want more run into biological limitations: too much fat injected at once cannot fully integrate.

If a patient desires more than one cup size increase, wants clear projection and defined shape, or has limited fat reserves – then pure lipofilling is often not sufficient. Hybrid means: combining the right element from each method. Nothing more, nothing less.

1. Implant incision: Small incision in the inframammary fold. Well concealed, heals excellently.
2. Liposuction entry points: Very small punctures (approx. 3–4 mm) at donor sites. Barely visible, no significant scarring.

We always work with the MST (Minimal Scarring Technique) and the Keller Funnel (No-Touch Technique). 99% of our patients develop a very inconspicuous scar.

We think in decades – not in Instagram cycles. This is not a slogan. It is the foundation of every treatment decision we make.

The implant:
A lasting solution. The latest generation of silicone implants has no prescribed replacement date.

The fat:
Your own body tissue – permanently integrated. Typically, 60–80% of the injected fat remains long-term. Physiologically normal reabsorption is factored into the planning.

The overall result:

• Looks natural and feels natural
• Moves with your body
• Does not appear ‘foreign’ with time
• Stands up to critical medical scrutiny over the years

The price for breast augmentation is CHF 8,900.- 

Your well-being and an optimal result is our top priority. Each patient has an individuality whose needs are the focus of my treatments. Therefore, it is not always possible to give a general estimate of the costs. Therefore, please understand that we cannot give generally valid prices for breast augmentation. The costs of each surgical treatment also depend on your personal initial situation and your wishes.
