Fat transfer breast augmentation with lift is a plastic surgery technique that addresses two common concerns: breast sagging and loss of volume. This innovative procedure uses your own fat tissue to enhance your breast size while lifting and shaping the breasts for a perkier, more youthful appearance. For the fat grafting step, liposuction is used to collect excess fat from another area like the abdomen, flanks, hips, or thighs.
This fat is purified and injected into the breasts, using expert techniques to enhance volume and contours. The breast lift step involves removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and elevating the breast and nipple-areola complex to a higher position on the chest wall. Combining a breast lift with fat transfer provides holistic rejuvenation with long-lasting results.
To begin your journey with fat transfer breast augmentation with lift Phoenix patients will have a thorough consultation to discuss their goals and design a surgical approach tailored to their needs. On the day of surgery, you will be given general anesthesia. Your surgeon will then carefully harvest fat from the donor sites using advanced liposuction techniques. The harvested fat is purified and prepared for transfer. For the breast lift step, incisions are created, usually in the lollipop or anchor pattern:
Your Phoenix fat transfer breast augmentation with lift surgeon will use these incisions to remove excess skin and lift and reshape the breast tissue. The nipples may also be repositioned or reduced in size for a more balanced, youthful appearance. The purified fat is then injected into to enhance breast to enhance volume and contour. Fat injections can be administered in specific areas like the upper portion of the breast, providing a fuller, more appealing contour. The entire surgery may take 3-4 hours to perform. Patients typically return home that day, after being monitored in a comfortable recovery area while the effects of anesthesia wear off.
Fat transfer breast augmentation with lift targets several common concerns in one comprehensive procedure:
By using your own fat, the breast lift with fat transfer procedure provides a modest but noticeable increase in breast size while reshaping and lifting sagging breasts.
Our surgeons focus on enhancing your breasts in a way that blends seamlessly with your physique. Fat grafting eliminates the maintenance associated with breast implants, as well as the risk of complications like implant rupture of capsular contracture. As an added benefit, fat grafting sculpts away unwanted fat in another area of the body for more holistic body contouring.
Phoenix fat transfer breast augmentation with lift patients should in in good health with no underlying medical conditions that could impair healing. Candidates should also have sufficient excess fat in donor areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks for the transfer process. Non-smokers or those willing to quit prior to surgery are also better candidates, as smoking can affect healing. If you are planning any future pregnancies, your plastic surgeon may recommend delaying surgery until after having children, as pregnancy and breastfeeding can compromise your results. During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will thoroughly assess your goals, medical history, and potential treatment areas to ensure you are a good candidate for this cosmetic procedure.
Recovery typically takes 2-3 weeks with a gradual return to different activity levels. Most patients can return to work within 2 weeks but should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the breasts and fat donor areas during early recovery. We will provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions for optimal fat survival and results. Your surgeon will closely monitor your progress through follow-up appointments, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcome.
