What Is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

Fat transfer breast augmentation, also known as fat grafting to the breasts, enhances the bust by transferring purified fat from another area of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms, to the breasts. This approach allows for natural contour improvement and body sculpting in a single procedure. Fat transfer augmentation addresses:

  • Desire for subtle breast enhancement without implants
  • Loss of upper breast fullness or definition
  • Asymmetry between breasts
  • Refinement after implant removal
  • Contour improvement in donor areas (such as arms or abdomen)

Am I a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

Candidacy is determined during a private consultation with Dr. Duncan, where your goals, anatomy, and donor areas are evaluated. Ideal candidates are in good health, have sufficient fat for transfer, and seek modest, natural enhancement rather than a dramatic size increase. This procedure is particularly beneficial for women desiring subtle definition or those transitioning from implants to their natural tissue.

NEO resolving chronic back pain

“I had chronic back pain before I started EmSculpt Neo treatment. I could never bend over without having a lot of pain. Now, even three months after treatment, I can move freely without issue! I can lie on the floor or the couch, do workouts, and stand for long periods of time without any back issues whatsoever. I highly recommend this treatment.”

Most of my life, I was happy with my C-cup breast size. But after having four children and turning 41, my breasts were small and sagging and barely an A-cup! I made a consultation appointment with Dr. Duncan because of her 20+ years of experience, and at my initial consultation, I immediately felt comfortable. Dr. Duncan listened to me and took the time to answer all of my questions. I consulted with two other plastic surgeons, who both recommended an implant size larger than that of Dr. Duncan. I would have been very unhappy with breasts larger than I have now!! I definitely made the right choice in selecting Dr. Duncan for my breast augmentation.

Everything went smoothly and healed up great

“I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Duncan about a month and a half ago. Everything went smoothly and healed up great! I had to get a septoplasty as well with a different doctor, and she was so great with accommodating for that. Little to no bruising anywhere, just a scar where my nose was opened, but with scar cream it is fading slowly. I love my new nose!”

What to Expect During the Procedure

Every procedure begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your goals and body proportions. Dr. Duncan develops a plan designed to enhance shape while maintaining harmony and safety.

  1. Fat is gently harvested from selected donor sites using precision liposuction.
  2. The fat is purified and processed to separate healthy cells.
  3. The refined fat is strategically injected into the breasts for smooth, even enhancement.
  4. Surgical dressings are applied, and patients typically return home the same day.

Healing, Results, and the Road to Confidence

Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for the first one to two weeks. Normal activities resume within several days, with final results visible after three to four months as the transferred fat stabilizes. While not all grafted fat survives, much of it integrates permanently, providing lasting, soft fullness. Staged treatments may be recommended to achieve additional volume and long-term refinement.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions

How much volume can fat transfer add?

Typically, one cup size can be added per session, depending on your anatomy and fat availability.

Will all the transferred fat survive?

Not all fat cells survive; around 60–80% typically “take.” Staged sessions allow for safe, lasting volume.

Are the results permanent?

Yes, once the transferred fat develops a blood supply, it becomes a natural, permanent part of the breast tissue.

What are the risks?

Risks are low but may include minor asymmetry, fat resorption, or cyst formation. Dr. Duncan’s precise technique minimizes these possibilities.

Is fat transfer right for thin patients?

Patients must have enough fat for harvest. If limited, Dr. Duncan may recommend targeted contouring before transfer.
