Breast Lipomodelling
Lipomodelling surgery is a minimally invasive procedure of taking fat from one place of the body with liposuction (usually the thighs or abdomen) and transferring it to the breasts to improve the shape and appearance of your breasts. It can be combined with an implant augmentation, a mastopexy or just used to smooth out any irregularities or bad scarring from previous operations - for a more natural look and feel.
The procedure is fairly straightforward and takes around 1-2 hours to complete. Dr Victoria will make small incisions in order to insert a cannula (thin tube). The cannula is used to suction out the fat from another area of your body, which is then injected into your breasts.
After the procedure, you will need to wear a surgical bra for support whilst you heal. You may also need to take pain medication for a few days after the surgery. Most people report feeling sore and bruised for around 2 weeks following the surgery. However, this will vary from person to person.
