Lipofilling of the breasts, also known as autologous fat grafting or lipomodeling, is a cosmetic surgical procedure in which fatty tissue is harvested from other parts of the body and then injected into the breasts to add volume.
The procedure usually begins with the removal of fatty tissue from areas such as the abdomen, thighs or hips through liposuction. The removed fat is then processed to purify it and prepare it for injection. After preparing the fat, it is carefully injected into the breasts in different locations to achieve the desired shape and volume.
Lipofilling of the breasts is often used to make minor corrections, such as filling imperfections or improving asymmetry. It can also be used for breast reconstruction after breast surgery, such as breast-conserving surgery or a mastectomy.
The advantage of lipofilling is that it uses the body's own fatty tissue, which reduces the risk of rejection or allergic reactions. In addition, lipofilling can provide a natural-looking result over time, because the transplanted fat tissue grows and moves with the surrounding tissues.
However, it is important to note that breast lipofilling has limitations. It cannot provide dramatic breast enlargement like a breast implant, and the percentage of fat retained after the transplant can vary. In addition, it may be necessary to repeat the procedure several times to achieve the desired result.
If you are interested in breast lipofilling, it is advisable to schedule a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon. This professional can assess your suitability for the procedure and advise you on the possible risks and expectations.
