A. There is no risk of rejection or allergic reaction, since the fat cells come from your own body. The procedure also allows the surgeon to have more latitude when it comes to shaping the breasts than saline or silicone implants do. There are no incisions; however, there are multiple small openings from the liposuction and injection procedures.

A. The transplanted fat cells often do not survive long term. They may be absorbed by the body, liquefy, form a cyst, calcify or produce scarring within the breast tissues. If this happens, you likely will lose some volume and may develop some lumps. Fat grafting also provides limited volume (less than a cup size) as compared to traditional implants

A. The result is enlarged breasts that are very natural in appearance and feel, without the complications associated with implants. Unlike traditional implants, this procedure will not interfere with future Mammograms or breastfeeding. The technique does not require general anesthesia, typically requires only 48 hour recovery period and leaves permanent results.

A: Women who desire a permanent increase in breast size that is natural in appearance. The Natural Breast Augmentation is ideal for the person who has lost fullness in her breast due to age, weight fluctuations, and breast feeding. A 1-2 cup size increase and more fullness are expected from this procedure. However a person who would not be happy with anything less than a 2-3 cup size increase should consider Breast Implants.

• Women that have had several pregnancies
• Women that have had children at an older age
• Women that have lost a significant amount of weight
• Women over 50 with aged breasts

A: Studies have proven that newer digital mammograms can easily evaluate calcifications in the breast whereas the alternative enhancement procedure, Breast Implants, block more than half of the breast from the view of mammograms. Calcifications caused by the surgery can interfere with mammograms

Truth: Studies have proven that newer digital mammograms can easily evaluate calcifications in the breast whereas the alternative procedures, breast implants, can block more than ½ of the breast from the view of mammograms. The jury is still out on whether fat grafts can obscure readings on breast X-rays or mammograms or be mistaken for early breast cancer. As it stands, all women, whether they have large breasts, small breasts or breasts with implants, require mammography to effectively evaluate their breast tissue, and the techniques used depend on individual factors. In truth, all breast augmentation surgeries pose potential problems for cancer detection. If you have implants, it’s important to let the technician know so that he or she can use the proper technique for imaging augmented breasts. You should also tell the technician if you have had fat grafting to your breasts.
