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.

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.
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.
