Breast augmentation with autologous fat for gender incongruence

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 about 40-60% of the fat to remain after a fat injection into the breast. The rest is absorbed within three months. You may have to plan one to three sessions to achieve the desired volume.

Who is breast augmentation with autologous fat suitable for?

This method is well suited to patients who are looking for a moderate breast augmentation of around half a cup to a full cup size. Patients who already have a silicone implant can also switch to 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.
