What is Fat Transfer to the Breast?

Fat Transfer to the Breast provides a natural and lasting option for improving breast shape and volume using the patient’s own fat. The procedure can be performed on its own or combined with breast implants, depending on the desired outcome.

It involves carefully harvesting fat from another area of the body, purifying it, and then injecting it into the breasts to create a fuller and more balanced appearance. Because the fat is taken from the patient’s own body, it integrates naturally with the surrounding tissue. However, as some fat cells may be reabsorbed over time, additional “top-up” treatments might be recommended to maintain the best long-term results.

Is Fat Transfer permanent?

While fat transfer is generally regarded as a lasting procedure, there are factors that may impact the outcomes. The body has the tendency to reabsorb some of the transferred fat cells, and the extent of this reabsorption varies among individuals. The exact number of cells reabsorbed cannot be determined until after the procedure. Following the initial treatment, some patients may opt for a top-up, and in a few cases, a second top-up may be necessary. It’s important to note that any subsequent weight loss can influence the results, as the fat cells may shrink in size, and additional considerations, such as smoking, may further impact the metabolism of the transferred fat, potentially affecting the overall outcome.

Who is a suitable candidate for Fat Transfer to the Breast?

Optimal health is a prerequisite for any surgical or invasive procedure. Individuals who typically make suitable candidates for this particular procedure include:

Those aiming to augment their breast size by 1-2 cup sizes without resorting to implants
Individuals seeking a result that is both natural-looking and feeling
Those with surplus body fat in other areas that can be extracted and transferred
Individuals desiring enhanced breast symmetry
Those in search of a subtle lift or a restoration of lost volume in their breasts

What happens during Your Perth Fat Transfer to the Breast Procedure?

The procedure entails transferring fat from a designated area of the body to the breasts. Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) (MED0001196978) initiates the process by utilising Vaser Pro Liposuction to extract a portion of fat. Some patients choose to remove more fat than necessary for the transfer, aiming to support overall body contours. Fat is introduced through injection, which typically results in fewer scars and less downtime compared to conventional breast augmentation procedures.

Booking Process

In accordance with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) protocol, it is a prerequisite to obtain a GP referral for all cosmetic surgical procedures before scheduling a consultation with Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978). Additionally, a Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) questionnaire will need to be completed to assess your suitability for the procedure. To facilitate informed discussions and address any questions you may have, informational videos will be sent to your designated email prior to your meeting with Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) (MED0001196978). Following a second consultation with a member of our clinical team, a mandatory 7-day cooling off period will commence. During this time, we strongly encourage you to seek further information and education regarding your desired procedure, as well as consider obtaining a second opinion. After the 7-day cooling off period, you are welcome to proceed with scheduling your procedure and embark on your Absolute Cosmetic journey.

Arrival

Arrive on time to be fully admitted by the medical team. On the day of the procedure, fasting is mandatory, meaning you should refrain from consuming food or water for 6 hours prior to your scheduled surgical start time. However, you may take a small sip of water in the morning to consume any pre-surgery medication if necessary. These precautions are taken to optimise your safety and the success of the procedure.

Nicotine

Stop smoking, vaping and all nicotine treatments—and avoid passive smoke—at least 4 weeks before surgery and for 6–8 weeks afterward.
Nicotine can slow healing and raise the chance of infection or an unsatisfactory cosmetic result.
Surgery will be cancelled, with fees forfeited, if you smoke, vape or are exposed to smoke within four weeks of the procedure.
Use evidence-based quitting aids if needed; see the linked resource for support and further details on potential complications.

Medications & Supplements

Avoid blood-thinning agents for 10 days pre-op, including aspirin, Nurofen (ibuprofen), vitamin E, fish oil, green tea, turmeric and other anti-inflammatory treatments.

Blood Tests

Standard bloods: complete ≥ 2 weeks before surgery.
Cotinine (nicotine) test, if requested: complete ≥ 4 weeks before surgery.
