Learn More About Natural Breast Augmentation

Women who want to enhance the size and shape of their breasts but prefer a more natural look make good candidates for fat-transfer breast augmentation. Fat grafting is especially beneficial for those with areas of unwanted fat that are candidates for liposuction to reduce these areas. Women who want a more dramatic increase in breast volume or lack adequate donor fat would be better candidates for breast implants.

Ideal candidates should be overall healthy and have realistic expectations for the procedure outcome. During a detailed consultation, Dr. Sarhan will help you determine if natural breast augmentation is right for you.

Natural Breast Augmentation is an exciting new procedure that avoids artificial breast implants. We use the Body-Jet liposuction system to remove unwanted fat from areas such as thighs and abdomen. A special Lipo-Collector system is used to purify the fat tissue; the fat cells are then injected into the breasts to provide an everlasting volume augmentation.

Artificial breast implants are very effective at increasing breast volume but unfortunately can produce unnatural looking results, especially if done too aggressively. Breast implants can result in an overly rounded appearance with sharp edges between the implant and the surrounding chest wall. Many women prefer a more natural result without the obvious appearance of breast implants. With Natural Breast Augmentation fat grafting is used not only to increase breast volume but also to taper the areas surrounding the breasts. Natural Breast Augmentation can even be used to improve the appearance of existing breast implants, for example, to add cleavage.

In any fat grafting procedure, it is critical that the harvested fat is of the highest quality. The Body-Jet delivers controlled bursts of salt water (actually local anesthetic solution) directly to fat tissue during liposuction. This water jet gently “washes out” fatty tissue as separated clumps of fat cells (including the beneficial stem cells that reside within the fat tissue–see below). The aspirated fat clumps are suctioned into the Lipo-Collector,

a sterile container in which the fat cells are gently washed and concentrated in preparation for fat grafting. The purified fat tissue is then transferred to syringes, which Dr. Sarhan uses to place the tissue in the recipient’s breasts.

Surprisingly, fat (adipose) tissue is the body’s richest source of adult stem cells. Adult stem cells are present in everyone and are different from embryonic stem cells (the cells that theoretically could be used to “clone” a person). The adipose-derived stem cells are present within the fat cells and have the ability to develop into different cell types including blood vessel cells. When fat tissue is transplanted, as in Natural Breast Augmentation, these stem cells play an important role in supporting the grafted fat cells, because the fat cells need a good blood supply in their new location. The gentle extraction process of the Body-Jet system assures that both healthy fat cells and adipose-derived stem cells are successfully transferred to the recipient site during Natural Breast Augmentation.

Recovery from breast fat transfer is typically faster than breast augmentation with implants. Most patients only need a few days off work after natural breast augmentation.

You can expect swelling, bruising, and soreness in your breasts and at the liposuction donor site. Dr. Sarhan will give you instructions for managing any discomfort and using pain medications. Any tenderness should subside within a few days, and bruising and swelling will fade over a few weeks.

Though you can resume most daily activities within a week, you’ll need to wait longer for strenuous exercise. You should avoid heavy lifting, cardio, and pressure on your breasts for approximately one month after the procedure. Dr. Sarhan will give you detailed instructions and tell you when you can resume all your regular activities.

Swelling will initially obscure your results after fat transfer breast augmentation. Additionally, not all the fat that is transferred will remain in its new location. Transferred fat that remains after six months is typically permanent.

Fat transfer results are long-lasting. Your natural breast augmentation results should be permanent with a healthy lifestyle and weight management. However, weight fluctuations can affect the transferred fat, so maintaining a stable weight is essential for long-term results.
