Breast augmentation with autologous fat

Natural look and feel

The use of the patient’s own fat cells results in breasts that look and feel more natural compared to synthetic implants.

Minimally invasive

The procedure requires small incisions for fat removal and injection, which reduces scarring and recovery time.

Lower risk of complications

There is a lower risk of rejection, infection, and complications associated with implants, such as rupture or capsular contracture.

Dual benefit

The procedure combines liposuction and breast augmentation, allowing patients to contour a donor area while improving their breast size and shape.

Recovery schedule:

Most patients can return to work and light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, with full recovery taking approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

Post-procedure care:

Dr. Rosalia Luketina will provide you with instructions on how to care for the liposuction and breast areas, which may include wearing a compression garment, avoiding strenuous activities, and treating pain and swelling.

Activity restrictions:

Patients should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for several weeks after the procedure.

Follow-up appointments:

Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the healing process and address any concerns.

Although generally considered safe, breast augmentation with autologous fat transfer carries some risks, including:

• Infection, bleeding, or scarring
• Fat necrosis or cyst formation
• Uneven or asymmetrical results
• Damage to surrounding tissue or nerves

Choosing an experienced and certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Rosalia Luketina and following pre- and post-operative instructions can help minimize these risks.

The results of breast augmentation with autologous fat are usually long-lasting. However, it is normal for some of the injected fat to be reabsorbed during the first few months. The final results are usually visible after about six months, when the remaining fat is permanently integrated.

The recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure and individual healing ability. As a rule, patients should allow about 1 to 2 weeks to recover from the operation. During this time, they should avoid physical exertion and wear special compression garments.

Yes, breast augmentation with autologous fat can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as liposuction on other parts of the body or a breast lift, to improve the overall appearance.
