Fat Transfer, sometimes referred to as Fat Grafting, is a revolutionary procedure in which a patient uses their own fat to improve the volume or appearance of a physical feature. The process involves removing fatty tissue from a donor site, usually through liposuction (where there is an excess of unwanted fat tissue), and re-injecting it to a target site elsewhere on the body.

A fat transfer has many advantages over traditional silicone and saline breast implants, such as:

• Fat is a completely natural substance that comes from your own body
• Harvesting of the fat can be used to slim and enhance your shape
• The breast can be sculpted and shaped to your desired size
• There are minimal incisions with this procedure, which reduces the possibility of scarring
• Fat grafting to the breasts can be used to disguise breast implants that do not look natural
• How much larger can I make my breasts with a Breast Fat Transfer?

Since fat grafting to augment the breasts will require a large volume of fat, Pixl Clinic usually enlarges up to one cup size per surgery. Enlargement beyond one cup size will often require additional procedures.

The beauty of a Fat Transfer is that your body augmentation is created with your own living tissue. For the Breast Fat Transfer procedure, we will harvest fat from your thighs, flanks, or abdomen, then clean and purify the tissue, before placing in your breasts.

The Breast Fat Transfer generally takes from 3-5 hours. Since the fat is meticulously removed from the body, purified while protecting the living tissue, then finally layered in the breast to assure blood flow, the process is slow.

A fat transfer is extremely safe because it involves your body’s own tissue, and therefore will not cause an allergic response or any rejection. As with all surgeries, there is the slight risk of a reaction to the Lidocaine, scarring, bleeding, infection, and numbness. There is also the small possibility of an additional procedure being needed, should not enough fat tissue survive to reach the goal cup size.

Since the procedure requires no incision and no implanted objects, there is generally no scarring.

Pixl Clinic will inject the harvested and purified fat into the breasts, through a tiny syringe, in several locations. He will be able to visually sculpt and shape the breast to the desired size. The injected fat will be layered within the breast tissue, to promote blood flow and attachment; the stem cells of the fat will also begin to produce new fatty tissue around the transfer.

When you come to our office for your consultation appointment, Pixl Clinic will review your medical history, discuss your surgical goals, and answer all of your questions. He will also help you visualize your potential results with the help of advanced computer imaging. Pixl Clinic will take time to explain the entire fat transfer procedure, including his technique, your recovery, risks, expected outcomes, cost, and available financing options.

No anesthesia is used, we use a infiltration of Lidocaine during a Breast Fat Transfer.

You will see immediate results with a Breast Fat Transfer. There will be some swelling, and a small amount of the injected fat may be absorbed by your body, so your final results will take about three months to appear.

The results from your Breast Fat Transfer can last for decades to come, even permanently. A small amount of the fat injection may be absorbed by the body, but the fat that remains after the swelling has completely subsided (after about three months) will remain indefinitely.
