For whom is breast enlargement with autologous fat a suitable procedure?
Breast enlargement with autologous fat is particularly suitable for patients who would like breast enhancement with a natural look. The volume increase is moderate, but this means that the treatment is low risk and low in scarring. At the same time, fat is removed from “problem zones”. This means that the treatment is not suitable for very slim patients, because in this case, there are not enough fat deposits available for the graft.
What happens during breast enlargement with autologous fat?
The autologous fat is removed from a fat reserve in the patient’s body. The patient can choose the body region – it’s usually the hips, tummy or legs, on the condition that enough fat deposits are available at the site. The fat cells are gently treated and rinsed. The pure autologous (own) fat is then injected through small punctures in the cavities behind the mammary gland and into the subcutaneous fat tissue. Very thin tubes are used to do this.
By how many cup sizes can the breasts be increased with autologous fat?
Breast augmentation with autologous fat is suitable for moderate volume increase. The breasts can be increased by around one cup size.
What are the advantages of autologous fat grafting compared to breast implants?
Breast enlargement with autologous fat is a gentler treatment to the procedure with implants. The result is particularly natural and lasts a long time. The follow-up treatment period is shorter and scars can also be avoided. And fat can be removed from a desired problem zone at the same time.
What are the risks of breast enlargement with autologous fat?
Thanks to the highest medical standards at the Beta Aesthetic in Bonn, breast enlargement with autologous fat is low risk and low scarring. Nevertheless, it is never possible to rule out complications in any operative procedure completely. Small cysts or calcifications can occur through the autologous fat grafting process. This risk is very minimal, however, and is largely ruled out when state-of-the art techniques are used. Nonetheless, it cannot be guaranteed that all fat tissue survives in a breast enlargement using autologous fat. Several procedures may be necessary to achieve the desired volume increase.
From where is the autologous fat taken?
The autologous fat for breast enlargement is taken from fat deposits with enough reserves, i.e. from sites perceived by the patient as “problem zones”. This could be on the hips, the stomach or the upper thighs. The region should react as minimally as possible to weight fluctuations, so that long-term retention in the breast can be guaranteed.
What needs to be considered after the treatment in Bonn?
After the breast enlargement with autologous fat, swelling can occur. This swelling should not be cooled if possible, because this inhibits the blood flow and the healing of the cells will be less satisfactory. Patients should also avoid wearing tight clothing. Sport and strenuous physical activity should be avoided for several weeks. Patients will be fitted with a special compression bra which should be worn for around six weeks.
When can the final result of the breast augmentation be seen and is this permanent?
After a breast enlargement with autologous fat, the fat cells first need to integrate into the rest of the breast. The final result is therefore visible after around six months to one year. It cannot be guaranteed that all fat cells will grow successfully in the new position and a minimal reduction cannot be excluded. The final result is, however, permanent.
What are the costs of breast enlargement with autologous fat?
