Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Fat transfer breast augmentation is a stellar choice and a natural breast augmentation alternative for Westchester, Long Island, and New York City patients who seek a minor increase in breast size without the use of breast implants. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Newman performs this procedure by using liposuction to harvest fat from areas it’s not wanted, purifying the fat, and transplanting it to the breasts. Dr. Newman is highly trained in performing fat transfer breast augmentation procedures, so you will be in good hands.
How Fat Transfer to the Breasts Works
When a patient desires to undergo fat transfer breast augmentation, the surgeon will choose a viable donor site such as the patient’s love handles (flanks), thighs, or tummy. The fat is then harvested via a special liposuction technique, as it is needed to prevent fat necrosis. Pure fat is then processed from the suction fluid and used to develop enriched stem cell concentrations, which offer better results and enhance the healing process.
Next, hundreds of tiny individual fat droplets are meticulously and skillfully injected into the breast site with a cannula. After the harvested fat is deposited into the new site, it will be incorporated within the existing matrix of adipose tissue, allowing the patient’s breasts to enlarge naturally.

So professional, and kind. Very efficient, and I didn’t feel nearly as uncomfortable as I thought I would talking with him. I was scared to have surgery but he put me at ease and I have never regretted my decision. Great doctor.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Fat Transfer?
The best candidates for fat transfer breast augmentation meet the following criteria:
- Are dissatisfied with their current breast size and shape
- Want a fuller, shapelier chest
- Have realistic expectations about the results
- Are in good physical and emotional health
Should You Consider Breast Implant Surgery or Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Fat transfer breast augmentation is more suited to patients who are looking to shape and slightly enhance their breasts, whereas breast implants can be utilized for maximum breast augmentation. If you hope to achieve a ¼ to ½ cup-size increase or more, breast implant surgery is recommended.
Other Uses for Fat Transfer
Aside from increasing one’s breast size, fat transfer can also be used in breast reconstruction after a lumpectomy or mastectomy. This breast augmentation procedure has also been proven to be an effective treatment for correcting the shape and size of underdeveloped or misshaped breasts.
Recovery After Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
After surgery, the patient may experience mild to moderate bruising and swelling of the breasts and the areas from which the fat was harvested. You will need to wear compression garments on liposuctioned areas to minimize swelling and discomfort. Because live fat cells were transferred to the breasts, you will need to avoid any breast compression for at least 2 weeks. In addition, you must avoid sleeping on your stomach and avoid other activities that put direct pressure on your breasts.
When Can I Return To Work?
Most patients will be able to return to sedentary jobs within 5 days and a week for work that requires more active movement.
