Natural Breast Augmentation

If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your breasts and want to increase breast size, breast volume, and improve your body proportions, you may be the perfect candidate for a breast augmentation. Women have two primary options to choose from: a fat transfer breast augmentation and a natural breast augmentation with breast implants. Your board certified plastic surgeon will work with you to determine the best option based on your current health and primary treatment goals.

Breast Augmentation With Breast Implants

The breast augmentation with breast implants is the most popular cosmetic procedure. It is completely customizable and can help women achieve larger breasts, improve their breast shape, and achieve the most natural-looking breasts with implants that compliment their body shape.

Women interested in breast enhancement who also want the most natural breast augmentation results can work with a board-certified plastic surgeon to customize the plastic surgery procedure so that the results look completely natural.

Which Breast Implants Look the Most Natural?

Silicone teardrop shaped implants are the most natural-looking implants because they resemble natural breasts visually and physically.

How Does It Work?

The first step in the breast augmentation process is to meet with an experienced surgeon who will confirm that you’re a good candidate for breast implants.

He’ll discuss your medical and family history and your current health to confirm that you’re healthy enough to undergo this outpatient procedure and that breast augmentation surgery will help you achieve optimal results.

Customizing Your Procedure

Once you’ve been cleared to move forward with breast augmentation, you’ll customize your procedure with your plastic surgeon. You’ll need to choose your desired implant type, either silicone or saline, your breast implant shape, either teardrop or round implants, and your desired implant size.

You’ll also need to choose the incision location and implant placement. You’ll also have the option of adding multiple procedures to your breast augmentation to address additional cosmetic concerns, including liposuction, a tummy tuck, a thigh lift to contour the thighs, and more.

Adding a Breast Lift

Adding a surgical lift to your breast augmentation promotes the most youthful-looking breasts. These two procedures deliver the most comprehensive results and enhance the breasts and body.

A breast lift enhances a natural breast augmentation by lifting the breasts higher on the chest wall, improving the shape of the breasts, and reversing the effects of sagging breasts by removing excess fat and skin from the area.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

The best candidates for a natural breast augmentation with breast implants are healthy people who aren’t smokers, can safely tolerate general anesthesia, and have realistic expectations about the process and the outcome. Patients must also be committed to following all of the post-operative instructions after their procedure.

Breast augmentation with breast implants is ideal for women who want larger breasts to achieve their ideal body proportions and women in need of breast reconstruction after breast cancer who want to undergo a natural breast augmentation that restores their feminine figures. It’s also ideal for women who have had one or more pregnancies and aren’t happy with how childbirth, weight gain and weight loss, and breastfeeding have affected the appearance of their breasts.

The Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

A fat transfer breast augmentation is a procedure that uses fat grafting techniques to increase breast tissue and breast size using each patient’s own fat cells to do so. This natural breast augmentation procedure helps women achieve larger breasts without breast implant surgery and delivers the most natural-looking results.

Unlike a breast augmentation with breast implants, a fat transfer breast augmentation will only increase breast size by approximately one cup size. You won’t experience the same increase in breast size as you would were you to get breast implants. Knowing this ahead of time is key to having realistic expectations about your final result.

How Does It Work?

The fat transfer procedure provides women with a completely natural way to enhance their breasts without using breast implants. The breast augmentation with fat is a minimally invasive procedure that increases the size of the breasts by a full cup size, but it also results in visible body contouring.

Harvesting and Preparing the Body Fat

The surgeon will begin the procedure using liposuction to remove fat from a specific area of the body with a high percentage of body fat: typically the thighs, abdomen, flanks, arms, buttocks, or legs. One of the benefits of a breast augmentation with fat is that you can address a problem area with excess body fat and reduce the total fat volume in that area while increasing the size of your breasts.

Before beginning the liposuction process, your surgeon will make very small incisions in the skin. Then, he will use liposuction techniques to harvest the fat from a problem area and shape the area to improve body contours. The surgeon will clean and prepare the transferred fat so that it can be injected into the breasts. In some cases, he’ll need to harvest more fat so that you can achieve your desired goals and desired level of breast fullness.

Injecting the Fat Cells Into the Breasts

Once the surgeon prepares the fat cells and ensures they are healthy and viable, he will perform the fat transfer. The fat cells are injected into the natural breast tissue during the fat transfer breast augmentation to increase breast volume and help patients achieve natural-looking results.

What Are the Benefits of a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

Because the fat transfer breast augmentation is a natural breast augmentation procedure that uses injected fat instead of breast implants to make the breasts larger, there’s no risk of an adverse reaction as the body cannot be allergic to its own fat cells.

There’s also no risk of losing nipple sensation, experiencing capsular contracture, or of scar tissue development since the fat transfer only uses minimally invasive surgical techniques to create more aesthetically pleasing breasts. It creates the most natural breast shape and patients won’t have to plan around an extensive recovery or long surgery.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate?

Patients who want to undergo a natural breast augmentation without implants make ideal candidates for a fat transfer breast augmentation. Patients must have enough fat in donor sites for removal to ensure the best and most natural results.

Patients must be in good health before surgery and be willing to follow all of the aftercare instructions after surgery.

What Kind of Recovery Should I Expect After Breast Augmentation?

It can take up to six months to fully heal after a breast augmentation with implants. Most patients will need to wear a compression garment after surgery to accelerate the healing process and allow the body to adapt to the increase in breast size.

After a fat transfer breast augmentation, patients must spend the first week recovering, limiting movement, and resting, so that the fat cells can settle into the tissue. Your surgeon will give you more details about what type of recovery you can expect after a fat transfer if you choose to augment your breasts with this particular procedure.
