Breast Micro Fat Grafting
In BEVERLY HILLS
What is Breast Micro Fat Grafting?
Micro fat grafting or nano fat grafting to the body, also known as autologous fat transfer or fat grafting, is a surgical procedure that involves the transfer of fat from one area of the body to another. It is a minimally invasive technique used to enhance and contour different areas, restore volume, and correct any acquired deformities from previous liposuction or injury which resulted in a loss of subcutaneous fat.
During the procedure, excess fat is harvested from donor sites such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks through liposuction. The harvested fat is then processed and purified before being injected via micro cannulas into the desired areas, such as the breasts, buttocks, hands, or face, to achieve the desired shape and volume in a three dimensional fashion to ensure contact with a healthy blood supply. The procedure aims to provide natural and long-lasting results by utilizing the patient’s own fat cells.
What is the process?
The process involves three main steps. First, excess fat is harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs through liposuction. Then, the collected fat is carefully processed to ensure only pure fat cells are used. Finally, the processed fat is skillfully injected into the breasts using small cannulas, strategically placed in multiple layers to achieve the desired shape and volume. This procedure offers a natural alternative to prosthetic breast augmentation and can provide long-lasting and satisfying results.
Benefits of Breast Micro Fat Grafting
Natural Results
Fat grafting uses the patient’s own fat cells, providing a more natural look and feel to the breasts. The transferred fat integrates with the existing breast tissue, creating a softer and more natural appearance compared to synthetic implants.
Body Contouring
In addition to enhancing the breasts, fat grafting allows for contouring of the donor site(s) where fat is harvested. This can result in a more balanced and harmonious overall body shape, along with body contouring resulting from the liposuction.
Minimally Invasive
Fat grafting to the breast is a minimally invasive procedure compared to traditional breast implant surgery. It involves liposuction to harvest the fat, which typically results in smaller incisions and less scarring.
Reduced Risk of Complications
Since the procedure uses the patient’s own fat cells, there is a reduced risk of complications such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or implant-related infections that can occur with breast implants.
Dual Benefit
Fat grafting provides a dual benefit by removing excess fat from unwanted areas and using it to enhance the breasts. This can result in improved body contouring overall, creating a more sculpted and proportionate appearance.
Customized Results
With fat grafting, Dr. Chahin can precisely inject the fat to achieve the desired shape and volume in specific areas of the breasts. This allows for a more personalized and customized outcome based on the individual’s aesthetic goals.
Minimal Scarring
The incisions made during liposuction for fat harvesting are typically small and result in minimal scarring. This can be advantageous for those who prefer minimal visible scarring. Often times, this procedure is combined with tightening and rejuvenation of the breast envelope with the use of Renuvion helium plasma technology to provide patients with optimal results.
Procedure Timeline
CONSULTATION
During the initial consultation, you will meet with Dr. Chahin to discuss your goals, expectations, and medical history. Dr. Chahin will evaluate your breasts and overall body shape to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. They will explain the fat grafting process, discuss potential risks and limitations, and answer any questions you may have.
PRE-OPERATIVE PREPARATION
Once you have decided to proceed with the fat grafting procedure, you will undergo pre-operative preparations. This may include medical tests, such as blood work and imaging studies, to ensure you are in good health for the surgery. Dr. Chahin will provide instructions on medication management, dietary restrictions, and lifestyle modifications leading up to the procedure.
SURGERY
On the day of the surgery, you will arrive at the surgical facility. The anesthesiologist will administer anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Liposuction will be performed to harvest excess fat from the donor area(s) agreed upon during the consultation. The harvested fat is then processed and purified. Dr. Chahin will carefully inject the purified fat into the breasts to achieve the desired augmentation and contouring.
RECOVERY
After the surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area to be closely monitored as you awaken from anesthesia. The medical team will ensure your initial recovery is progressing well, manage any discomfort, and provide post-operative instructions. It is normal to experience swelling, bruising, and mild to moderate discomfort during the initial recovery period.
POST OPERATIVE APPOINTMENTS
Following the surgery, you will have several post-operative appointments with Dr. Chahin. These appointments are crucial for monitoring your healing progress, assessing the results, and addressing any concerns or questions you may have.
