What are some DC Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation FAQs

There are various questions you may ask yourself and our doctors regarding fat grafting breast augmentations. This surgical procedure involves various steps before, during, and after the surgery.

If you are wondering what the difference is between a traditional breast augmentation procedure, and a fat grafting breast augmentation surgery, there are several things to note. While a traditional breast augmentation procedure will resize and reshape with a silicone or saline implant, the fat grafting breast augmentation will achieve similar results with a careful injection of fat.

During your consultation, your physician will work with you to determine how to achieve your desired look and the amount of fat necessary to meet your needs.

If you are wondering what will happen during the procedure, you may expect:

  • During breast augmentation with the fat grafting procedure, repurposed fat is used to reshape and contour the breasts.
  • Small, needle-sized incisions are made in discreet locations of the breasts in order to achieve the desired shape, size, and lift.
  • For candidates using fat grafting, there is a dual benefit by targeting unwanted fatty deposits and using them for breast enhancement.

Combining Fat Transfer Breast Augmentations With Other Procedures in DC

You can also combine procedures, as this surgery already uses liposuction to transfer fat from unwanted sections to your breasts. Many women choose to combine this with another procedure like a tummy tuck. This is so the recovery for both of your procedures can happen at the same time.

Patients are usually allowed to fully exercise within a day or two. Scarring is minimal during this procedure, as incisions are very small. However, the healing processes may differ between individuals.

What are the benefits to a Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting in DC
