What Is Fat Transfer to the Breasts?
Fat transfer to the breasts is a natural alternative to saline or silicone breast implants using your own fat to enhance breast size and shape. This procedure is ideal for women looking for a more subtle augmentation or for those undergoing breast reconstruction after a lumpectomy. At John L. Clayton, MD at Southridge Clinic Plastic Surgery, Dr. John L. Clayton combines experience with an artistic eye to help patients achieve a fuller, more natural look. By using fat harvested from areas, like the abdomen or thighs, this method can restore volume and contour to the breasts without the need for implants. If you're considering primary breast augmentation or breast reconstruction using fat transfer, we invite you to schedule a consultation at our Riverton, UT office to learn more.
How Do You Perform Fat Transfer to the Breasts?
Fat transfer for breast augmentation or reconstruction begins with liposuction to remove fat from donor areas, like the abdomen, hips, or thighs. Once the fat is purified, it's carefully injected into the breasts to enhance their shape and size, offering a natural alternative to traditional implants. Dr. Clayton will work with you to determine the right amount of fat to achieve your desired results, whether you're seeking subtle enhancement or a fuller contour. The recovery after fat transfer is generally shorter than with implants, but following post-operative care is essential for optimal results.
What Are the Benefits of Fat Transfer for Breast Augmentation?
Fat transfer offers a range of benefits for women in Riverton, UT, including a more natural enhancement of breast shape and volume. By using your own fat, this technique provides several key advantages, such as:
- Achieving a more subtle, natural enhancement compared to implants
- Dual benefit of body contouring from liposuction in the donor areas
- Restoring breast volume after lumpectomy or breast reconstruction
- Lower risk of complications compared to traditional implants
Fat Transfer Reviews
I had an amazing experience! - Draper, UT - I absolutely loved the work Dr. Clayton performed on me. After having 5 kids my body was ready to get back to pre pregnancy look. I haven't been this happy with myself in 17 years before my first baby. I was so nervous for the surgery and how I would function afterwards. He took the time to reassure me that I would do great and I was a healthy candidate for the procedure, but also was real on the recovery of it. He didn't mask any of the pain I would feel. Everything was spot on with how I would feel at so many post days/weeks of healing. He was real informative after the surgery with the many questions I had the first few weeks. I would highly recommend him for a mommy makeover. I had breast augmentation, tummy tuck and liposuction in my flanks and stomach area. I had hardly any bruising because of the binder he put me in (not all physicians have you wear a binder) the binder is uncomfortable but so worth it for bruising and swelling purposes. The breast aug was pretty much painless and very clean cut. I am so happy with the results! The tummy tuck scar is amazing! As I looked at YouTube and other internet sites at peoples scars, I was prepared to look like Frankenstein afterwards. Not at all! The scar looks so great! And the stitches were sewn so nicely which makes all the difference in the final result of the scar. The scar is low enough I can wear a bikini and look like I'm 20 again! I will refer everyone I know to him!
Breast reduction, small implant & lipo on chin, back, stomach & fat transfer - I chose Dr Clayton because of his amazing bedside manner and before and after photos. Getting a breast reduction has always been a plan but life and breastfeeding push it out. While I was waiting, I did go to Mexico and have a tummy tuck (you can find those results on my profile). Even though Dr. Clayton was my first choice, I couldn't resist the pricing and insanely good results I was seeing. Unfortunately, it proved to be a mistake as I had a very large scar opening that I had to have taken care of her. That's how I originally found Dr. Clayton. He spent weeks healing me up and closing me open wound. He was absolutely incredible and I knew then that I wouldn't have done surgery with anyone else. Skip to March - I ended up with a very strange shape because of the way that the tummy tuck was done in Mexico. I had lost all of my curves. I was sure that I wanted to move forward with the breast reduction and augmentation through Dr. Clayton. But I grappled back-and-forth if I should also add all the liposuction to fix the fat pockets and give me back my curves. I research a couple other alternatives that are claiming to be a lot more aggressive to get your results, most notably MIA Aesthtics with Dr Van Borem. Dr. Clayton assured me that he is extremely aggressive and could give me the results I want.Dr. Clayton's nurse Quinn goes above and beyond and really makes you feel so welcomed while you are in the lobby, quotes and check ups. This was another reason I choose him over MIA. As I found them much more sales oriented and hard to contact. Dr. Clayton literally gave me his personal phone number to text with any issues! How could you not feel important? As of 4/8 I went into surgery doing a breast reduction with a small implant; Lipo on my chin, all of my back and all of my stomach and fat transfer to my butt. The results are still in the making but I'll continue to update with pictures as I progesss
