Considering breast augmentation but desire a natural look and feel? Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a growing trend in breast augmentation procedures at The Piazza Center in Austin, TX. Dr. Rocco Piazza, MD BCPS, skillfully utilizes this technique to help you achieve your desired results.
What is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
This innovative procedure involves transferring unwanted fat from areas like the thighs, hips, or abdomen to your breasts. Dr. Piazza uses liposuction to gently remove fat cells, meticulously purifies them, and strategically injects them into your breasts to enhance size and improve contour. This method offers several advantages for women seeking a natural breast augmentation:
- Natural Look and Feel: Fat tissue provides a softer, more natural result compared to traditional implants. Many patients appreciate the subtle enhancement and realistic appearance.
- Long-Lasting Results: Once the fat cells are transferred, a portion will be absorbed by the body. However, a significant amount remains, offering long-lasting breast enhancement, unlike implants that require replacement every 10-15 years.
- Combined Liposuction Benefit: Fat transfer provides the added perk of removing unwanted fat from other areas, offering a two-in-one procedure for a sculpted body.
Fat Transfer vs. Implants: Making the Right Choice
While fat transfer offers unique benefits, breast implants remain a popular option. Dr. Piazza breaks it down in this video:
