When is breast augmentation with own fat possible and sensible?
A dream come true: a naturally enlarged, firmer bust without the use of foreign materials – and at the same time, less fat in problem areas like the belly or hips. Is this a wish that can come true?
This is a cosmetic procedure in which a person’s own fat is used to enhance the volume of their breasts. It is considered a gentle and natural way to enhance the breasts and can be a good option for those who prefer to avoid the use of silicone implants.
As a specialist in breast augmentation, I offer you:
A breast augmentation with fat transfer is only suitable for patients who have enough excess body fat. If that’s not the case, breast augmentation with implants may be an option.
Self-assessment is often not realistic. During a personal consultation, I will clarify whether a breast augmentation with fat transfer is appropriate for you.
The method is also then meaningful if you only want one cup size more.
Asymmetries can get balanced or existing implants can be camouflaged with own fat, e.g. in the case of so-called rippling.
There must not be a genetic predisposition for breast cancer. In order to be able to carry out a meaningful diagnosis during later preventive examinations, an ultrasound examination and mammogram are necessary before the operation.

Initially, the starting situation, i.e. the breast before the surgery, is documented on photos. Then, together with the patient, the problem areas are marked from which the fat should be removed. The ideal breast shape is determined and marked on the patient.
Marking
The incision lines for the surgery are marked on your body while standing.
Anesthesia
The anesthesiologist takes all necessary steps for the planned general anesthesia. I only perform breast enlargement under general anesthesia. You will be thoroughly informed in advance about the exact procedure, the effects, and possible risks and side effects of the anesthesia.
The surgery
I perform the surgery either in the Iatros Clinic in the center of Munich or in the MVZ Ottobrunn in a modern operating room.
After taking photos of the initial position, the problem areas from which the fat will be removed are marked with the patient. Then, the ideal breast shape is determined and marked with the patient.
In most cases, the surgery is performed under local anesthesia with twilight sleep, if desired also under general anesthesia.
During the surgery, the fat that has been suctioned is processed using an elaborate procedure. Only the treated fat cells can grow after the transfer. The fat cells are injected into the breast to be enlarged in a sandwich-like manner so that existing tissue and introduced fat tissue alternate in level. This ensures that many (about 90%) of the fat cells find a connection to a blood vessel in the first days after the operation.
The surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis. You should take it easy for the next 10 days. Follow-up appointments will be set depending on the extent of the surgery.
Fat cells that have attached to the blood supply remain permanently in the body and are involved in the metabolic process like all other fat cells. The breast can be enlarged by another operation by one cup size.
Advantages of breast enlargement with own fat:
Disadvantage:
Combining own fat and implant is possible, allowing the benefits of both methods to be utilized.
Breast enlargement with own fat as a gentle correction:
Inequalities or slight deformations that have arisen from a breast enlargement with an implant can be safely balanced and corrected using own fat. The second method optimizes the result of the first. To correct rippling:
If rippling occurs after a breast enlargement, the injection of own fat can abolish or significantly reduce the formation of wrinkles. In this procedure, the implants are covered by the fat, resulting in a smooth contouring of the breast.
The breast can be enlarged by one cup size per surgery. In several consecutive surgeries, the breast can therefore also be enlarged by several cup sizes.
A 3D simulation is only possible with implant enlargements.
