Why Choose Fat Grafting for Breast Augmentation?
Fat grafting is a gentle and effective way to enhance breast shape and volume using your own body tissue. It’s ideal for patients who want a subtle increase in size without the commitment of implants.
Fat grafting can:
- Restore lost breast volume due to aging, weight loss, or breastfeeding.
- Improve breast shape and projection.
- Enhance breast symmetry.
- Correct mild contour irregularities or defects.
- Add volume in a soft, natural way.
- Avoid foreign materials like silicone or saline.
- Refine body contour by removing unwanted fat from other areas.
Am I a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Fat grafting is best for patients in good general health who desire a modest increase in breast size, usually one cup size or less. You must also have enough donor fat available in areas like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or hips.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are looking for a subtle, natural-looking enhancement.
- Have adequate fat in other areas of your body for transfer.
- Want to improve shape or correct asymmetry.
- Prefer not to use implants.
- Are close to your ideal weight and not planning major weight loss.
Fat transfer is not recommended if you:
- Are very lean and lack donor fat.
- Want a large increase in breast size.
- Smoke or have difficulty healing.
- Have a history of breast cancer or abnormal mammograms without clearance.

How Is Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation Performed?
Fat grafting is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure.
Here’s what the process involves:
Dr. Loizides gently removes fat from targeted areas such as your abdomen, thighs, or flanks using a small cannula.
The harvested fat is carefully processed to remove excess fluid and impurities, leaving only the healthiest fat cells for transfer.
Using fine cannulas, Dr. Loizides strategically injects small amounts of purified fat into various layers of the breast tissue to sculpt and build volume.
The entire process is performed with precision to ensure smooth, even results that look and feel natural.
What to Expect After Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Recovery from fat grafting is usually smoother and quicker than recovery from implant-based augmentation. Swelling and bruising are normal in both the donor and recipient areas and typically resolve over a few weeks.
Most patients can return to light activity within a few days and return to work within one to two weeks. You may be asked to wear compression garments to support healing in the donor areas, and you should avoid pressure on the breasts (such as sleeping on your stomach) for several weeks.
While some of the transferred fat may not survive, Dr. Loizides accounts for this in the initial procedure, and most patients retain 60 to 80% of the volume long-term.

FAQ
Fat Transfer for Breast Augmentation
Typically, about 60 to 80% of the transferred fat will survive long term. The rest is naturally absorbed by your body in the first few months. Dr. Loizides uses careful techniques and overfills slightly to account for this expected volume loss. Final results are typically stable after 3 to 6 months.
Fat grafting is best suited for subtle to moderate enhancements, usually about one cup size. If you desire a more dramatic increase, implants may be the better choice. In some cases, Dr. Loizides may recommend a combination of implant and fat grafting for the most natural and balanced result.
Common donor areas include the abdomen, inner or outer thighs, flanks (love handles), and hips. During your consultation, Dr. Loizides will help determine the most effective areas for liposuction based on your body shape and where you’d like to contour.
The fat that survives the transfer process becomes a living part of your body. Once established, it behaves like natural breast tissue and changes with weight fluctuations or aging. There is no risk of rupture or capsular contracture as with implants.
Fat transfer offers a natural feel and look using your own tissue, with no need for synthetic materials. It avoids implant-related risks like rupture or implant displacement and involves less scarring. You also benefit from contouring the donor areas through liposuction.
Yes. Many patients who undergo implant removal choose fat grafting to restore volume and shape naturally. Dr. Loizides can discuss whether fat transfer alone will meet your goals or whether additional procedures may be helpful.
In some cases, a second session may be recommended to build additional volume or improve symmetry. This depends on your body’s response to the first transfer and your desired final
Yes, when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Loizides. Using your own tissue minimizes the risk of allergic reaction or rejection. As with any surgery, there are risks, but complications are rare when the procedure is performed properly.
