What is a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

Fat transfer breast augmentation is emerging as a sought-after way to increase breast size moderately. It is a two-part procedure with the added benefit of trimming excess fat from areas of the body, such as the buttocks, thighs, flanks, lower back, or abdomen. The carefully harvested fat cells are then purified and grafted to the breasts to add volume.

Combining My Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation with Other Procedures

Adding procedures to your fat transfer breast augmentation can help you achieve comprehensive results in one surgical session, reducing the amount of downtime you have to go through. Combining procedures also reduces anesthesia and facility costs.

Liposuction is typically combined with fat transfer breast augmentation to harvest the donor fat transferred to the breasts. If you want to remove additional fat from multiple areas, you can contour your body and refine your figure for a more slender profile.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

To qualify for a fat transfer breast augmentation with Dr. Rottman in Baltimore, patients should be in good overall health, understand the procedure’s expectations, and be willing to follow recovery guidelines to achieve optimal results. Some characteristics of these patients are:

  • Unwanted fat stores in your belly, thighs, hips, or abdomen that can be harvested
  • Looking for a subtle change in breast enhancement
  • Prefer to avoid implants
  • Want to fix minor shape problems or asymmetry
  • Stable weight

What Are the Benefits of a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

How to Begin Your Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Journey

The first step is a personal consultation with Dr. Rottman at his office in Baltimore to determine whether you have enough excess fat to harvest for the procedure. 

  1. Explain your honest goals, concerns, and objectives for the procedure, so you can give Dr. Rottman an accurate idea of what you are looking for
  2. He will conduct a thorough examination of your breasts and donor areas to map your unique anatomy, checking for available donor fat, evaluating breast tissue health, and ensuring the procedure will be safe.
  3. It is important to know what to expect at every step of the procedure, including the increase in breast size you can expect with a natural fat transfer breast augmentation in Baltimore, MD.
  4. Once it is determined that this procedure will create the increase in breast size you envision, your procedure will be scheduled.

What to Expect on the Day of a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Surgery

First, the donor site from which live fat cells are harvested is selected. The excess fat is then carefully extracted with a specialized liposuction technique. This is performed slowly and carefully to help maintain the viability of the harvested cells. Once this is completed, the fat cells are purified. After processing to produce pure fat, tiny droplets of living fat cells are strategically injected into your breast.

The skill with which the procedure is performed is critical to its success. The goal is to have as many fat cells survive the transfer to your breasts as possible. Dr. Rottman is known for his high-level surgical skill, the delicacy and care with which he performs this procedure, and for the beautiful, natural results he has achieved for his patients.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Care

The recovery process after fat transfer breast augmentation is typically easier than traditional breast augmentation because it avoids deep muscle trauma, large chest incisions, and foreign body integration. You will still have some swelling and bruising around the donor areas and injection sites, but this discomfort can be managed with prescribed pain medication. You’ll need to wear a compression bra for several weeks, which will help minimize swelling.

Rest is a critical component of the recovery process. As you rest and sleep, avoid sleeping on your front or sides. It will place uneven pressure on your chest, which can damage new fat cells and cause asymmetry. Instead, rest on your back with your upper body slightly elevated with extra pillows.

Other important steps while recovering include taking short walks to promote healthy blood flow, avoiding intense exercise for several weeks, staying hydrated, and eating a balanced diet to support wound healing.

How Much Does a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Cost in Baltimore?

The cost of a fat transfer breast augmentation in Baltimore depends on several factors customized to your procedure. These factors include how much fat is transferred, where the fat is transferred from, how many areas are treated, whether additional procedures are combined, and the surgeon’s expertise.
