Fat injection into the breast is one of the most natural breast augmentation methods for women who want to increase breast volume without using prostheses. This procedure is an attractive option, especially for women who do not want to undergo surgery or who want to experience the results of surgery without surgery.

Women’s breast volume may be congenitally small or may shrink over time due to factors such as childbirth, breastfeeding, weight loss and aging. This can lead to loss of self-confidence and aesthetic unhappiness. Thanks to fat injection into the breast, women can both get rid of their excess fat and regain their self-confidence by achieving 1 size breast enlargement.

What is Breast Fat Injection?

Fat injection into the breast is a non-surgical breast augmentation method performed by injecting the fat tissue taken from the person’s own body into the breast area after certain procedures.

These fats taken by Vaser Liposuction method are used to add volume to the breasts and to achieve a fuller appearance. Fat injection offers a natural result and is an extremely safe procedure since no foreign substance is used in the body. Breast augmentation with fat transfer is an ideal option especially for women who have excess fat in their body and do not want prosthesis.

Who is Suitable for Breast Fat Injection?

Fat injection into the breast is a suitable treatment option for women who meet certain criteria. These criteria are as follows:

  • Women over 18 years of age: The legal age limit for the procedure is 18.
  • Those with sufficient fat tissue: There must be excess fat in the body that can be removed for fat injection. This method may not be suitable for very thin people.
  • Those who are not pregnant: Fat injection is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Those who do not want prosthesis: Fat injection is a suitable alternative for people who are not suitable for breast prosthesis surgery or who do not want to undergo surgery.
  • Those who have completed cancer treatment: Women who have completed breast cancer treatment and do not have cancer risk can also have fat injection.

How is Fat Injection to the Breast Performed?

Fat injection into the breast is a procedure that is usually combined with liposuction. This procedure is performed under general anaesthesia. Firstly, the area where fat will be taken from the body (abdomen, hips, buttocks, hips, etc.) is determined. Fat is removed from this area by making tiny incisions.

Using the Vaser Liposuction method, the fat is drawn out and purified through special processes. The purified fat tissue is injected into the breast. Since some of the fat tissue will be absorbed by the body in the first injection, a little more fat is injected than the required amount. The procedure takes an average of 1-2 hours and the results can be seen immediately.

Breast Fat Injection Prices

Breast fat injection prices may vary depending on the amount of fat to be taken during the procedure, the type of anaesthesia used, the experience of the doctor and the clinic where the application will be performed. You can have a detailed examination in our clinic to get price information and to find out if the procedure is suitable for you.

Things to Consider After the Procedure

The recovery process after fat injection into the breast is fast and comfortable. Patients are usually discharged on the same day and can return to their daily lives. However, there are some points to be considered during the healing process:

  • Use of a corset bra: In order for the swelling and redness in the breast area to disappear quickly and the breasts to reach the desired shape, a corset bra should be used regularly.
  • Protecting the breast area: Avoid lying on it, exposure to blows and hot baths.
  • Sun protection: The breast area should be kept away from sunlight during the healing process.

Advantages of Breast Fat Injection

This procedure provides many advantages in terms of both aesthetics and health:

  • Natural and safe: Since one’s own oil is used, there is no risk of harm to the body.
  • Double benefit: It both helps you get rid of excess fat in the body and volumises your breasts.
  • Leaves no scar: Since the incisions are very small, there is no obvious scar after the procedure.
  • Cost-effective: It is more cost-effective than breast prosthesis surgeries.
  • Can be repeated: In case of need, the procedure can be repeated to obtain longer lasting and permanent results.

Breast Fat Injection Permanence and Results

The permanence of fat injection into the breast varies depending on factors such as the person’s metabolic rate, lifestyle and weight gain and loss. Permanence can be increased by performing a repeat procedure within 6 months after the first fat injection. In addition, it is important to follow the lifestyle changes recommended by the doctor to achieve permanent results. 20-30% of the fat tissue injected into the breast is absorbed by the body; however, the remaining fat tissue remains in the breast in the long term and provides a permanent fullness.

The Role of Fat Injection in Breast Shape

Fat injection not only increases breast volume, but also corrects symmetry and deformities in the breasts. If there is asymmetry between the breasts, fat injection helps to eliminate this problem. In very thin people, fat injection and prosthesis can be combined to provide both volume and a natural appearance.

Risks and Complications

As with any surgical procedure, fat injection into the breast may carry some risks. These include melting of the fat more than expected, infection, bleeding and visual deformities. However, these risks are minimised in procedures performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. When the application is performed under hygienic conditions, it is considered a safe procedure.
