Breast Fat Transfer Surgery

The best candidate for Fat Transfers to the breasts are those who need some shape and definition as well as those who want to increase their bust size without the need for implants. Reserves of fat elsewhere on their body are needed; namely abdomen, thighs or back. It’s important to carefully consider your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon before proceeding. You must have realistic expectations.

On the day of your fat transfer procedure, patients are given twilight sedation – which eliminates the need for general anaesthesia and its associated adverse effects.1

Vaser Liposuction is then used to remove fat from the area of your choosing. The fat is then purified and the healthy fat cells are separated. These healthy fat cells are then re-injected into your breasts. Different amounts of fat may be injected into each breast to even out any size differences (breast asymmetry) already present. The length of the procedure will vary depending on the amount of fat required and extracted via liposuction. Both procedures can be performed on the same sitting.

Fat transfers have also become popular in the Buttocks region – for a procedure known as the Brazilian Butt Lift.

Breast Fat Transfer treatment prices vary depending on your overall situation, expectations and degree of liposuction being performed. As a guide:

• Where liposuction is performed on one area and fat transfer to the breast, the cost is $11,000

Your initial Breast Fat Transfer consultation and subsequent procedure can be undertaken at our cosmetic clinic in Australia (be it Sydney).

Dr Kim (Sydney) and Dr Rahbar (Sydney) have received training in the Bodyjet fat grafting technique to the breast. Doctors from Germany have spent time at Cosmos Clinic sharing training on the preparation and injection of fat into the breast. Cosmos Clinic now use Vaser Liposuction which is gentler than Bodyjet and have been trained by our doctor of Miami Breast Center.

We also treat many interstate and overseas patients each year at Cosmos Clinic.  Therefore, we have set procedures in place for those travelling to our clinic for treatment. For travelling patients please use the contact form located at the bottom of this page to send us images of the areas you wish to have treated, which Cosmos Clinic you’d like treatment at, and where you’re located in the description so our staff can include all the appropriate information for travelling patients as part of your personalised quote.

The breast fat transfer procedure is a day procedure performed by one of our specially trained breast surgeons. As it is a day procedure, it is important to note that you will go home on the day you receive treatment. Most patients are usually back to normal activities after about 2-5 days. You will have to wear a compression garment on the areas treated with liposuction full time for 3 weeks, and part time for a further 3 weeks. You will not be able to wear a bra for 6 weeks after the procedure.
