Fat grafting to augment breasts

Breast augmentation employs breast implants to augment the breasts. It uses either saline or silicone in order to enhance the appearance of the breasts by making them larger and firmer.

However, not all women are comfortable with having foreign objects (breast implants) planted inside their bodies. Though they like to have firmer and larger boobs, the thought of having something far from natural stuck inside their bodies is more than enough to drive them away from breast implants.

As cosmetic surgery evolves through time, this particular dilemma is now addressed through the presence of fat grafting, a procedure that involves transferring fat by liposuction from certain parts of the body such as the thighs and waists to another such as the face and breasts, in order to give them a more defined shape and contour.

Toronto Star tells the story of Sue Davis, a satisfied client of breast augmentation through fat grafting.

Transferring fat from where a broad should be narrow as an arrow to where a broad should be broad is "fabulous," says a 39-year old Toronto woman we'll call Sue Davis. "It was pretty awesome, to take fat from here and put it there. Like, hello?"

This spring, Davis was among the first patients to have her breasts contoured by Toronto plastic surgeon Trevor Born with fat harvested by liposuction from her waist and thighs.

She went to Born to inquire about having her breasts lifted or getting implants to "fill them out a little - they weren't saggy but had dropped." But, she says, "I was never really comfortable with the thought of having something foreign in me."

Of course, this procedure has its own set of complications and risks as well. In fact, the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons thinks that augmenting the breast with the body's own fat should be prohibited because some side effects like cysts, calcification, and tissue scarring may occur.

Despite this warning, fat-grafting advocates such as Dr. Sydney Coleman and Trevor Born, believe that this procedure is generally safe and even exhort that the move to prohibit this practice was driven by politics.

Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting

As General Cosmetic Surgeon with extensive experience with use of both small and large volume fat grafting, the use in the breasts and buttocks has become a common treatment which has proved its safety and efficiency in more that 200 patients over the past 10 years. It is not a "new" concept or one that has been only recently started.....just now getting the surgical community understanding and acceptance as that proof is being brought forward.

The more important factor in the use of fat in facial, breast, buttocks or body depression has been us use of PRP (platelet rich plasma) added to the grafts. It GREATLY improves the clinical "take" (acceptance and retention) of grafts of fat, bone and cartilage (from the same stem cell origin). A company known as Harvest Technology has developed the best, simple and effective kit for isolating PRP from the patient's own blood with minimal draw needed.

I suggest anyone considering this learns the advantages and the dis-advantages of fat graft breast augmentation, and seeks care with experienced surgeons. RWAMD
