Breast Fat Transfer in Tunbridge Wells, UK

Fat transfer for breast enhancement uses liposuction to remove fat from one area of the body (typically tummy/flanks/thighs) and inject it into the breasts, to create a fuller breast. Women often choose this option for its dual benefit of body contouring and breast enhancement, without the use of a foreign object, that is breast implants.

What is Breast Fat Transfer?

Breast fat transfer surgery is a procedure that increases the size and modifies the shape of the breasts without using breast implants. The surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and takes up to 3 hours. During the procedure, excess fat is carefully removed from unwanted areas like the thighs, stomach, or waist. The fat is then transferred to the breasts to boost volume and improve the overall shape. The surgery has two phases: the liposuction phase and the fat injection phase. Tiny injection sites are used to distribute the fat evenly into your breasts.

Fat grafting techniques can also be used to optimize breast shape during a breast implant procedure. If you have irregularities after breast implants, fat transfer can help fill in the irregularities and produce a smoother, more optimal shape.

If you find that you have breast defects following a lumpectomy for breast cancer, fat grafting techniques can help to fill in these defects. Fat grafting may also be an option for total breast reconstruction following a mastectomy.

Breast augmentation can help increase self-confidence and improve the contours of the breast if you’re self-conscious about your breast size or shape. Fat transfer breast augmentation surgery uses the patient’s own fat via liposuction to enhance and enlarge the breasts. The procedure uses fat grafting techniques and eliminates the need for implants to create a natural bust.

Breast Enlargment with Fat Transfer or Implants?

When considering breast enlargement, it is important to understand the differences between fat transfer and implants so you can choose the approach that best matches your goals and expectations. Fat transfer uses your own body fat to create a natural look and feel, making it ideal for those seeking a subtle enhancement without foreign materials.

Implants provide a more noticeable increase in size and shape, and may be preferred if you want a dramatic change or have limited fat available for transfer. Recovery and risks differ between the two methods. Fat transfer may require more than one session, while implants involve a single procedure but may need future replacement.

Dr Victoria Teoh will discuss both options with you in detail during your consultation, taking into account your anatomy, lifestyle, and personal preferences. This ensures you have a clear understanding of what each method can offer, helping you make an informed decision that aligns with your expectations.

Risks and Limitations of Breast Fat Transfer

Breast fat transfer is a popular choice for those seeking natural-looking enhancement using their own body fat. While the procedure offers many benefits, it’s important to be aware of certain considerations to ensure it aligns with your goals and expectations.

One key aspect to understand is that some of the transferred fat may naturally be reabsorbed by the body over time. This is a normal part of the process and, for some patients, achieving their desired enhancement may involve more than one session. Dr Victoria will discuss this with you during your consultation to help you plan for the best possible outcome.

As with any surgical procedure, your body will go through a healing process. Temporary effects such as mild swelling, bruising, or changes in sensation are common and typically resolve as your body recovers. Dr Victoria and her team will provide detailed aftercare guidance to support you through this process.

By understanding these considerations, you can make an informed decision about whether breast fat transfer is the right choice for you. Dr Victoria will work closely with you to tailor the procedure to your individual needs and goals.

FAQs About Breast Fat Transfer Surgery in Tunbridge Well, UK

You may be a good candidate if you have enough body fat for transfer, are looking for a subtle and natural enhancement, and prefer not to use implants. Dr. Victoria will assess your suitability during a consultation based on your goals and overall health.
The amount of fat required to achieve a noticeable increase in breast size depends on your individual body shape, how much fat can be safely harvested, and how much of the transferred fat survives after the procedure. It is important to know that not all of the injected fat will remain long-term, and breast fat transfer is generally best for subtle to moderate enhancements.
Scars from fat transfer are minimal and typically located at the liposuction sites. These small incisions heal well and fade over time, becoming barely noticeable.
Fat transfer breast augmentation can cause discomfort, and the level of pain experienced varies from person to person. During the procedure, you will be under local or general anaesthetic, so you will not feel pain at the time of surgery. However, after the operation, it is common to experience soreness or bruising in both the areas where fat is harvested through liposuction and the breasts where the fat is transferred. This discomfort can typically be managed with prescribed pain relief and usually improves over the days and weeks following surgery.The degree of discomfort depends on factors such as the amount of fat removed, the areas treated with liposuction, and your individual pain threshold. As with any surgical procedure, it is important to carefully consider fat transfer breast augmentation and discuss any concerns with your surgeon during your consultation.
Recovery typically takes 2–4 weeks. You may experience swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside. Dr. Victoria will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Avoid strenuous activities for at least 4–6 weeks.
The cost for breast fat transfer surgery will include the surgeon fee, anaesthetist fee and a hospital fee. The price also includes all your post- operative follow up clinic consultations. The final cost may vary depending on your individual needs and whether additional liposuction areas are required. You will receive a detailed quotation after your consultation following your specific treatment plan.
The total cost of breast fat transfer surgery in the UK varies based on several factors such as the surgeon’s expertise, the clinic’s location, pre-surgery consultations, post-operative care, and the complexity of the procedure. Prices may also differ between private clinics and hospitals.
In most cases, breast fat transfer surgery is considered cosmetic and not covered by the NHS or private insurance. However in some cases, your insurance may cover the surgery cost if it is performed for reconstructive purposes. Please check with your insurance provider to confirm.
