subject: The New Trend In Breast Augmentation: Natural Fat Grafting [print this page] When you think about it, having breasts augmented through fat grafting makes perfect sense; the patient has excess fat removed from her mid-section which is then used to give her a fuller look where she wants it: up top. The wonder is why this technique wasn't used from the beginning. If you are considering breast augmentation, take the time to find out more about fat grafting.
How it Works in a Nutshell
A patient will undergo a special form of liposuction that safely removes excess fat cells from problem areas without damaging the cells themselves. These healthy fat cells are then transferred to the breast area through a series of small injections. The patient is awake through the entire procedure and therefore will not suffer any ill effects from being "under."
Who is the Ideal Candidate?
Fat grafting is not for women who want to achieve dramatic changes to their look. Rather, it is for women who simply want to go for a moderate increase or who want to restore their breasts to their prior look following the birth of and nursing of children. Women who do not have excessive amounts of body fat in general also do not make good candidates since they don't have enough cells to spare for breast augmentation.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation Through Fat Grafting
--The resulting feel is extremely natural
--It is a great choice for women who worry about possible leakage or failure of saline or silicone gel implants.
--It is a much less invasive procedure than traditional breast implantation which means that recuperation time is faster and less painful.
--There are very few incisions involved, so there is a minimal amount of scarring.
--Fat grafting is a great tool for helping women with existing implants obtain a more natural, overall look and feel.
--Breast augmentation through fat grafting will not interfere with mammograms and breast cancer detection since the material used for augmentation is all-natural.
--The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so there are fewer chances of complications in this area.
Every woman wants to look and feel her best, but many have resisted traditional breast augmentation for a variety of reasons, most notably because they like a natural feel and they don't like the idea of implanting foreign objects. Thanks to fat grafting techniques, you can get the little help you're looking for without the drawbacks.
