Breast
augmentation
with fat grafting (lipofilling)
At OgeePlast Clinic, breast augmentation with fat grafting offers a natural alternative to implants, using the patient’s own fat to enhance breast volume and contour. This minimally invasive procedure, ideal for a moderate increase in size, involves harvesting fat from areas like the abdomen and thighs.
Natural breast augmentation with fat
Fat grafting is an alternative technique to silicone implants for breast augmentation. Breast augmentation with lipofilling is a short procedure and is mainly done in one-day surgery. Fat is harvested from different parts of the body using a minimal-invasive liposuction technique and then injected into the breast tissue using small cannulas. More than one surgical session might be required, depending on the desired final breast volume.
Who is a good candidate for breast lipofilling ?
Patients who are good candidates for breast augmentation with lipofilling are:
- Non-smoker patients.
- Patients with adequate fat deposits (abdomen, flanks, thighs, knees)
- Patients who wish to improve the breast contour, but mainly the upper part and the cleavage.
- Patients who desire up to one cup size increase in breast augmentation.
- Patients who desire a larger volume increase are better treated with silicone implants.
The EVE-system
In selected cases of breast lipofilling, fat survival can be better controlled if the EVE-system is applied. The EVE-system is an external bra that was invented by Dr. Khouri in Miami. The EVEsystem gently expands a woman’s breast tissue prior to fat transfer. The procedure begins with the patient wearing EVE starting two weeks before surgery. Using the EVE-system, an adequate matrix within the breast is created and the breast tissue is optimally prepared for subsequent fat transfer. Depending on your body and breast characteristics, your surgeon may find you a good candidate for this device.
Benefits and recovery period
With a breast lipofilling, you can enjoy and natural increase in breast volume without any noticeable scar. It is ideal for patients who are looking for a moderate increase in breast volume. The recovery period is limited to 1 week with easy dressings.
