 

BREAST FAT TRANSFER IN CHESTERFIELD, MO | CHARLES NATHAN, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING BREAST FAT TRANSFER

A micro fat transplant is an advanced procedure designed to restore
volume that has been lost due to aging or other factors. This
technique involves harvesting fat via minimal liposuction and
transferring it into specific areas of the body, including the
breasts.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Fat is carefully extracted from areas with excess fat through small
incisions less than 5mm in size. The procedure can be performed under
local anesthesia in the clinic, offering patients a minimally invasive
option for subtle breast enhancement.

BENEFITS OF BREAST FAT TRANSFER

 	* Natural volume restoration using patient's own fat
	* Minimal surgical intervention
	* Potential alternative to traditional breast augmentation
	* Can be performed under local anesthesia

PROCEDURE DETAILS

FAT HARVESTING AND TRANSFER

The innovative technique involves extracting fat from donor areas with
excess adipose tissue. Approximately 20-30% of transferred fat is
naturally resorbed by the body within three months, which allows for
potential additional grafting procedures.

BREAST ENHANCEMENT EXPECTATIONS

Patients should understand that breast fat transfer provides subtle
enhancement. The result is typically comparable to slight fullness
experienced during menstrual cycles, not a dramatic size increase like
traditional breast augmentation.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

IMMEDIATE POST-PROCEDURE

Patients can expect minimal tenderness, some swelling, and potential
mild bruising. Incisions are typically left open to drain or closed
with a single dissolvable stitch if minimal liposuction was performed.

RECOVERY TIMELINE

 	* First Week: Swelling and bruising peak around day 4 and begin
settling by day 7
	* One to Two Months: Initial volume assessment and potential
additional grafting

PATIENT CONSIDERATIONS

St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery recommends a personalized consultation to
determine individual suitability for breast fat transfer. Each
patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals are unique, requiring a tailored
approach.
