Getting a Breast Fat Transfer vs. Breast Implants
A breast fat transfer is a surgical procedure that involves transferring one’s excess body fat into the breasts to achieve an enhanced look. In many ways, it is similar to the popular Brazilian butt lift (BBL) procedure with its appeal of using one’s own existing tissue as part of a more “natural” process.
Breast augmentation, on the other hand, uses synthetic breast implants to improve the appearance of breasts according to the individual’s personal goals. Implants are typically made with silicone or saline, which are both generally safe and provide their own unique texture and appearance.
Breast augmentation with implants generally requires downtime of about 4 to 6 weeks. In contrast, a breast fat transfer involves a shorter recovery period of only 2 to 3 weeks. It is typically the liposuction component of this procedure that requires the longest healing time.
Which One Is Best?
Selecting the best breast augmentation procedure depends on your unique characteristics and needs. If you are more comfortable with the idea of using your own body fat to enhance the appearance of your breasts, then a breast fat transfer might be right for you. However, if you are seeking significant augmentation that your own body fat alone may not be able to provide, there are several high-quality breast implant options you can choose from to achieve your desired look.
The best way to know if a breast fat transfer would help you meet your goals is to schedule a consultation with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon.
