Before & After Photos

What are the risks of fat transfer breast augmentation?

Fat transfer breast augmentation risks include:

Cysts
Infection
Microcalcification
Necrosis (death) of fat cells
Possibility that some of the transferred fat cells will leave the breast area

Your plastic surgeon may also have you use a tissue expansion system during the weeks before your breast augmentation surgery to improve your results. You may have to have touch-up injections to retain your improved shape if you choose this surgery.

Breast Lift vs Augmentation
"A breast lift is really about moving the glandular tissue up, so the tissue that's kind of hanging over the fold of the breast, and sometimes, but not always, the nipple position as well. Putting an implant in is gonna fill out some of the upper space of the chest, but it's not gonna lift the lower tissue at all. It's just gonna fill the upper pole."
