Autologous Fat Transfer to Breasts (Natural Breast Augmentation) – New Orleans
When it comes to enhancing the appearance of the female breast, Breast Implantation using either saline or silicone implants are the standard. Although these procedures are highly successful, some patients prefer a more natural solution to enhance volume to their breasts.
With natural breast augmentation, unwanted fat is removed from the body and transferred into the fat areas of the breast to create increased volume. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia leading to lower downtime and less restrictions than surgical breast augmentation.
With fat transfer to the breast, you can enhance your breast volume naturally with long lasting results and minimal downtime.
If you’re seeking natural breast augmentation, contact Être Cosmetic Dermatology & Laser Center at 504.227.3873 to schedule a consultation for autologous fat transfer to breasts in New Orleans.
Natural Breast Enhancement: How It Works
The concept behind fat transfer to breasts is simple: unwanted fat is removed from the patient’s body, and then this fat is injected into the fatty layer of the breasts to restore / enhance volume of the breasts. This procedure is performed in three steps:
- Harvesting the Fat: Fat is typically harvested from areas like the thighs, belly, or buttocks. The fat is removed using a gentle liposuction technique. Tiny incisions will be used, and they are typically placed within natural creases of the body so that any resultant scar is not visible.
- Processing the Fat: The fat must be refined and processed before it can be transferred. This is done using either a centrifuge or a filtration device. Processing the fat ensures that only healthy fat cells will be transferred.
- Transferring the Fat: Once the fat is ready for transfer, tiny incisions will be made around the breasts. The fat will be injected through this incision using a very thin cannula, which gently and gradually restores volume until the ideal look is achieved.
