If you are considering a breast augmentation or a change in breast shape, breast augmentation with fat transfer in Toronto (also known as breast fat grafting) may be an excellent option. Fat grafting can be considered alone or in conjunction with a breast lift, augmentation, or revision. In this breast procedure, fat is removed from an area where it isn’t needed and is used to create additional breast volume or to enhance breast shape.
Since fat must be harvested from elsewhere in the body, only patients with enough extra fat are good candidates for these procedures. The fat is most effective when used in combination with a breast implant or breast lift. In some cases, a breast augmentation with a fat transfer procedure in Toronto can be performed alone to achieve modest augmentation or to fill in a specific area of deficiency.
In general, breast fat grafting in Toronto is an excellent option in well-selected patients after a thoughtful consultation. The risk profile is very low, and recovery is very reasonable, with most women returning to normal activity within a few days after fat grafting alone.
Risks specific to fat grafting are rare but include:
Fat grafting outcome lengths can be highly variable. Fat is a natural living tissue that will heal differently in different people. As such, the amount of fat that stays in place after surgery can change over time. Some of the fat that is placed may be reabsorbed by the body, but the amount that stays in place is usually stable and permanent by approximately four months after breast augmentation with fat transfer surgery in Toronto.
During this procedure, liposuction is used to harvest excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. The fat is processed during the surgery and reinjected into the breast area to improve its overall shape and provide additional volume for augmentation.
If breast fat grafting in Toronto is combined with implant exchange or removal, switching to a smaller implant often requires modifying the remaining breast tissue. Depending on the amount of extra skin and breast tissue remaining, this can be performed with a breast lift and/or fat grafting procedure. In many cases, fat grafting to the upper and middle areas of the breast alone can help improve the shape of the cleavage area.
