Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation in Oakville, Ontario

Fat transfer breast augmentation, or fat grafting breast augmentation, is a process in which fat cells from another area of your body are injected into your breast tissue. It has the same objectives as using a breast implant without the same types of materials used.

In this method, we use liposuction to take fat from another body area. It is then placed into the breast tissue in the ideal position to create the desired results. This procedure can provide you with a small to mid-size improvement in breast size with overall natural results.

It is always important to have a formal consultation with a plastic surgeon before deciding which procedure to use. Some people may have limitations on the benefits of this form of breast augmentation, including if:

• They have a low body fat percentage.
• They have other underlying health considerations that make a procedure like this risky.
• Their expectations are not in line with what can be realistically provided in a safe manner.

During your consultation, we will align your goals and desired look and results with the most feasible outcomes possible. The process of assessing your health and discussing these options is extensive. We care about ensuring you always get personalized service.

Some people may not be a candidate for this procedure if they do not have enough fat cells to make a notable difference. Keep in mind that in every procedure, some fat cells will die. This is a natural and expected process. The procedures and processes used, along with your body’s natural chemistry, play a role in the percentage of fat transfer that will survive. In some cases, as much as 30 to 50% will not survive.

Any fat cells that do not survive are naturally absorbed into your body. This happens over time. It does not create any type of abnormal look.

During your consultation with Dr. Khanna, we will discuss every facet of fat transfer breast augmentation with you. This is a thorough conversation in which we encourage you to ask questions. Our goal is to create a strong bond and a level of trust with you so that you can make the best decisions for your needs and health.

A component of your consultation will involve discussing the differences between breast implants and fat transfer surgery to enhance the shape and size of your breasts. We look at your goals, body type, and medical history to determine what options could be a good fit for you.

Dr. Khanna’s commitment to providing you with exceptional care starts at the consultation. We encourage you to talk to us about all of the options and any concerns you have. This type of open-format consultation enables you to be more prepared for the opportunities that can come from this process.

During your initial consultation, we will review the specific opportunities for you, including what areas of the body we may be able to obtain fat cells from to use in your breasts. This is a very individualized procedure in every situation. The process involves the following steps:

• We use liposuction to harvest fat deposits from areas of your body. This may include several other areas.
• The fat is then run through a centrifuge device. This will remove any type of impurities from the fat tissues we harvested.
• A specially sized and type of syringe will then inject the purified fat into the different areas of your breast. This is done at different layers of tissues in the breast to create a very natural look.

As an outpatient procedure, you can go home the same day. You will have some aftercare steps to take to see the desired results.

Dr. Khanna and her team have extensive experience in this field, having performed breast augmentation with fat transfer for more than 20 years. We have the most advanced equipment and state-of-the-art technologies to provide you with the best overall procedure and results possible.

The procedure’s timeline depends on a variety of factors, including the location and fat harvesting methods. Most of the time, these procedures take between 3 and 5 hours to complete.

All breast surgery has the risk of leaving scars behind. However, we use very small cannulas and hide the scarring as much as possible to avoid any risk of potentially noticeable scars on your skin.

Breast augmentation with fat tissue is a surgical procedure. You will go home after it, in most cases, but you can expect some time to recover. Your recovery process will likely take between 6 months to a year to complete. After that period, the swelling is normalized, and you will have the desired look.

First Week of Surgery

• The day you go home, you will need to take some time to relax. We encourage you not to be alone and not to plan to do any work.
• Do not bend and pick up anything over 10 pounds. Avoid any type of exercise that is strenuous.
• Follow all care instructions provided to you by your plastic surgeon during your appointment.

Two Weeks Out

• Maintain minimal workouts and activity for the first few weeks. Allow the tissues to heal.
• Monitor your health and well-being. If you feel ill or you are experiencing pain, it becomes critical to report that to your doctor.

About six weeks prior to your surgery, you will have a pre-operative appointment. During this appointment, you will be given instructions specific to your needs on how to care for your breasts as they heal. This appointment also provides you with specific steps to take before coming in for your surgery.

The outcome of breast augmentation surgery using fat transfer differs from one person to the next. Most people will maintain their results for years, with some seeing a longer period of time.

Many factors influence the cost of fat transfer breast augmentation procedures. In addition to this, you may need additional procedures at the same time. Complementary procedures, such as a breast lift, may be recommended, and this could increase the cost of the procedure for you.

Remember that costs will vary from person to person. However, we are very transparent with you from the start. You will know what the cost will be for all expenses before moving forward. In addition to this, our team can help you obtain third-party financing to help you make installment plans. Ask us if this is something you are interested in.

Cost Breakdown:

• Fat Transfer to Breasts: Ranges from $15,900 to $26,000, depending on whether a breast lift is needed.
• S.I.E.F. (Simultaneous Implant Exchange with Fat): For those replacing breast implants with fat, the cost typically falls between $17,900 and $28,000.
