Case Study: Fat Transfer to the Breasts
Age: 23
Height: 5’2″
Weight: 132 lbs
Background & Patient Goals
A healthy and active 23-year-old, came to us seeking a natural solution to enhance the volume and shape of her breasts. While she had considered implants, she ultimately decided against them due to concerns about introducing foreign materials into her body and the longer recovery time typically associated with breast augmentation surgery.
Primary goals were:
- A subtle, natural-looking increase in breast volume
- Improved contour and proportion to match her petite frame
- Sculpting of areas where she had stubborn fat deposits
Procedure
After a detailed consultation and thorough assessment, fat transfer to the breasts was recommended as the ideal solution. This approach would allow us to use her own fat to enhance her breast volume while also refining and contouring areas of concern on her body, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.
The procedure included:
- Liposuction to gently remove fat from targeted areas back, flanks, abdomen & thighs.
- Purification of harvested fat
- Strategic injection of fat into the breasts to create a soft, fuller, and natural result
Results
Before
After
- Volume Increase: Subtle, natural enhancement of breast volume by approximately one cup size
- Texture and Feel: Breasts remain soft and natural to the touch
- Body Contouring: Improved shape and definition in donor areas, particularly around the waist and hips
- Downtime: Minimal – Patient resumed light activity within a few days and was back to full activity within 2–3 weeks
Patient Outcome
Our patient was thrilled with the outcome. She achieved a balanced, feminine silhouette that looked and felt entirely natural. The fat transfer approach allowed her to avoid the look and feel of implants, while the added benefit of body contouring helped her feel more confident in and out of clothing.
