Breast lipofilling is a plastic surgery technique that allows augmenting or reshaping the breasts using fat harvested from the patient herself (autologous). It is indicated for women who wish to:
Lipofilling represents a versatile and entirely biological solution, ideal for those seeking a moderate volume increase with an entirely natural outcome. It is also used as a corrective technique in combination with other procedures.
The journey
During the consultation, the surgeon evaluates skin quality, desired volume, and the patient’s suitability for the procedure. It is essential to have sufficient adipose tissue in donor areas (abdomen, flanks, thighs).
Donor areas: fat is harvested from areas with localized deposits, generating a dual benefit: breast augmentation and body contouring.
Achievable increase: generally one cup size per procedure. For greater increases, multiple sessions can be scheduled.
The procedure consists of three stages: harvesting the fat via liposuction, purifying the adipose tissue, and targeted injection into the breast areas through virtually invisible micro-incisions.
Recovery is generally well tolerated. The use of a compression garment on donor areas and a soft supportive bra for the breasts is required.
