Benefits of Fat Grafting Over Implants

Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is an option for breast augmentation. Fat grafting uses the patient’s own body tissue, which some individuals may find preferable for a more personalised outcome. 

Risks and Considerations

Fat grafting avoids using synthetic materials but, like all surgeries, carries risks. It is essential for patients to thoroughly discuss these with their surgeon. Dr. Rhys van der Rijt can provide detailed information during a consultation.

Dual Benefits: Body Contouring and Breast Augmentation  

Fat grafting can be used for both breast enhancement and body contouring by transferring fat from areas such as the abdomen or thighs.

This approach may be considered for patients seeking adjustments to body proportions and overall appearance, depending on individual suitability.

No Need for Implants

A significant advantage of fat grafting over implants is that it avoids the use of synthetic materials. For patients seeking a breast augmentation option without long-term concerns associated with implants, fat grafting offers an alternative.

Minimal Scarring

With fat grafting, small incisions are used to harvest fat, which may lead to less visible scarring compared to implant surgery. However, every procedure has its own considerations, and scarring can vary.

Long-Lasting Results

One of the long-term benefits of fat grafting over implants is that fat grafting does not require implant-related maintenance. Patients looking for breast augmentation can consider this approach, keeping in mind all potential risks and outcomes.

Fewer Post-Operative Restrictions

Patients who undergo fat grafting typically experience fewer restrictions post-surgery compared to implants. Recovery tends to be faster, making it an appealing option for those considering breast reduction or breast lift surgery.
