Fat transfer involves using a patient’s own fat tissue, taken from another area of the body, to modify breast volume or contour. Suitability and expected outcomes vary between individuals.
• Uses the patient’s own tissue rather than implants.
• May involve both liposuction and fat injection procedures.
• Results and recovery times vary depending on anatomy, fat availability, and healing response.
• All surgical procedures carry risks, including infection, changes in breast shape, or partial fat absorption.
Further details, including potential risks and expected recovery, are discussed during a consultation.
Your safety and wellbeing are our highest priorities. Before recommending any procedure, your doctor will assess your overall health, medical history, and aesthetic goals. Together, we’ll discuss realistic outcomes and whether this procedure aligns with what you hope to achieve.
This procedure may be appropriate for individuals who:
• Prefer a subtle, natural enhancement – Ideal for those seeking modest volume increase rather than a significant change in size.
• Have sufficient donor areas – Adequate fat must be available for safe harvesting and transfer.
• Wish to avoid implants – Suitable for patients who prefer an autologous (your own tissue) approach without synthetic materials.
• Would like to restore mild fullness or symmetry – Commonly sought to address gentle loss of volume related to ageing, pregnancy, or weight changes.
Every surgical procedure carries potential risks, including infection, asymmetry, or the need for revision. Results vary from person to person depending on individual healing, fat retention, and other health factors. Your doctor will provide complete information on benefits, limitations, and recovery expectations before proceeding.
Your journey starts with a thorough consultation. Your doctor will review your medical history, assess your breast and body profile, and discuss your goals. This helps determine whether fat transfer is suitable for you and allows you to understand the expected outcomes, benefits, and potential risks.
Before your procedure, you’ll receive detailed pre-operative instructions to help you prepare safely. These may include lifestyle or medication adjustments. All your questions about the process, anaesthesia, and recovery will be addressed clearly during this stage.
During the procedure, fat is carefully removed from selected areas of your body through liposuction, purified, and then precisely transferred to the breasts. The aim is to achieve a balanced, natural contour using your own tissue. Every step is performed with your safety, comfort, and informed consent as priorities.
Recovery time varies from person to person. Mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort can be expected and will gradually subside. You’ll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions and attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing and discuss your progress.
Your practitioner will guide you on when you can resume normal activities and what to expect in the weeks following surgery.
