Breast augmentation without surgery (fat transfer to the breasts)
Lipofilling is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves extracting a quantity of fat from adipose tissue to be injected into the breasts, either to enlarge them or to correct irregularities. Breast lipofilling does not present increased risks of failure, as is the case with silicone implants for breast augmentation. The extracted and injected fat integrates into the tissues into which it was transferred, becoming part of the same host organism.
Breast augmentation with fat transfer is considered a more natural approach to augmentation because it uses the patient’s own fat cells instead of artificial materials such as silicone implants, and the results are satisfactory and long-lasting.
Breast augmentation without surgery, using own fat - what are the benefits?
The benefits of choosing a breast augmentation procedure without surgery, using own fat, are:
-
The fat remains stable in the area where it was injected, and there is no risk of displacement as in the case of silicone implants;
-
The fat is much lighter than the silicone implanted for breast augmentation, providing a more natural sensation;
-
The injected fat will not cause the breasts to sag over time, as it has a large volume at a small mass.
-
There is no risk of persistent scarring on the breasts after the procedure;
-
Weight loss and toning in the fat donor area for injection;
-
It can be used as an adjuvant procedure after an implant or in combination with a light implant procedure.
Main types of breast lifting
There are 4 types of breast lift procedures that can ensure breast reshaping and lifting:

02. Mastopexy with breast implant
03. Breast lift with breast reduction
04. Breast lift with ascension and asymmetry correction
What are the risks of breast augmentation using own fat?

Breast augmentation without surgery - Procedure steps
Before the breast lipofilling surgery, the patient who is to undergo the breast lipofilling procedure must prepare in advance according to the indications of the specialist doctor:
01. Evitarea administrării unor medicamente antibiotice
02. Hidratarea cu lichide în mod recomandat
The specialist doctor will conduct a breast assessment (ultrasound) to determine the health condition of the breasts and if they are prepared for the breast lipofilling procedure. Breast ultrasound is mandatory in the case of any type of intervention on the breasts.
