Breast augmentation with autologous fat is suitable for women who want a moderate breast augmentation of around half to a full cup size. Women who already have a silicone implant can also switch to an autologous fat breast augmentation.
It is also possible to make breast augmentation with silicone implants more natural by injecting additional autologous fat.
A prerequisite for breast augmentation with autologous fat is the presence of sufficient fat deposits in the body.
Breast augmentation procedure with autologous fat
For breast augmentation with autologous fat, fatty tissue is suctioned from existing fat deposits in the body. After careful preparation, the fat cells are injected in small quantities in several places around the breast. Breast augmentation with autologous fat has been used in Switzerland for about 5-7 years with good results.
In principle, you can expect around 40-60% of the fat to remain after a fat injection into the breast. The rest is absorbed within three months. You may need to plan one to three sessions to achieve the desired volume.
Breast augmentation with autologous fat can also be combined with a breast lift be combined.
Risks of breast augmentation with autologous fat
To date, retrospective studies on breast augmentation with autologous fat have shown no negative effects on the breast and no increased incidence of breast cancer.
Due to the possible stimulation of cancer cells by fat stem cells, which has not yet been completely ruled out, there are special precautionary measures that must be evaluated according to family history and individual risk. For example, fat injections into the breast should currently not be carried out if a breast cancer gene (BRCA-1, BRCA-2) is known to run in the family.
Aftercare
After a breast augmentation with autologous fat, you will be given an antibiotic for five days. A metal-free sports bra should also be worn for six weeks.
