Lipofilling (Fat Grafting to Breast)
Lipofilling
Lipofilling uses the patient’s own fat to enhance breast volume or correct contour irregularities, offering a natural alternative to implants.
Ideal Candidates
Patients desiring a natural breast appearance.
Individuals with sufficient donor tissue.
Those who have had previous radiation therapy.
Procedure Details
- Fat is harvested via liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
- The fat is purified and then carefully injected into targeted areas of the breast to improve shape, volume, or symmetry.
- Often used to refine results after breast reconstruction or cosmetic surgery, or to treat radiation-induced tissue damage.
Choosing the Right Surgeon:
Credentials and Experience: It’s critical to investigate a surgeon’s credentials, experience, and training when choosing one for a breast treatment. Expertise is demonstrated by board certification and membership in associations for professionals. Patient Testimonials and Reviews: Reading patient testimonials and reviews will provide you with a better understanding of the surgeon’s qualifications, demeanor on the operating table, and level of patient satisfaction. Personalized Consultation: Arrange meetings with many surgeons to talk about your expectations, worries, and aspirations. Select a surgeon who makes you feel at ease and confident in their skills, listens intently, and offers candid criticism.
