aesthetic breast lift surgery : or fat injection?

Many questions refer to the possibility of breast augmentation avoiding breast implants by autologous fat injections. Firstly what is autologous fat? It is grease collected within your own body (thighs, stomach, arms, knees, etc. ...). That fat is then purified by centrifugation and back at the breasts.

This technique is routinely applied to reconstruction surgery for breast cancer. Not to rebuild a breast in its entirety but to make edits on asymmetry results or corrgier small defects in the chest by example.


In cosmetic surgery, this technique is currently very little practised for the following reasons:

The request for an increase in average breast cosmetic plastic surgery is 250 to 300 ml to win a two bonnets in size souten throat. Injections of fat do not allow such volumes in general. Indeed for 250ml, should be collected by the mons 400ml breast, or 800ml sampling in all. This volume is rarely available for patients seeking to breast augmentation that are usually rather thin or very thin.

The result is never guaranteed to the extent that we can not predict that the fat will remain in 100% of cases. All scenarios are possible. The fat may disappear completely, partially, so asymérique, etc. ... All this makes the outcome uncertain and insecure.

The duration of the intervention in this case is long. Two to three hours of intervention that strike the budget. 5000 USD price for breast enhancing or other word Breast Enhancement implants, 7000 USD cost for breast augmentation by injecting fat.

The monitoring of breast cancer screening is made more difficult because we do not know exactly what will become the x-ray images of fat injected. These are different diifficultes of the breast lift by injecting fat.

In return, the increase in breast implant silicone gel allows:

breast surgery and whose results are guaranteed.

Breast implants of silicone gel are very well tolerated by the body.
The intervention is quick (less than one hour), and allows affordable rates.
In conclusion, it is possible to achieve an increase in breast fat injections but we must accept the inconveniences that you could see. Subject to the technical feasibility of intervention (amount of fat to collect sufficient).
