What is Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer?
Breast augmentation with fat transfer, sometimes referred to as "natural breast augmentation," involves extracting fat cells from one area of the body (such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks) using liposuction and then injecting the purified fat into the breasts to increase their size and improve their shape.
Dr. MacArthur is a top-rated Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Ottawa specializing in breast augmentation with fat transfer surgery. He is the Medical Director at New Age Medical Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, one of the busiest surgical centers in the city.

Before the procedure, a detailed consultation with Dr. MacArthur is essential to understand your desired aesthetic results and to evaluate the donor sites for fat harvesting. All of your questions will be answered, and Dr. MacArthur will create a digital preview of what you may expect after surgery.
The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia which means you will be comfortable and asleep during surgery.
Fat is harvested from the donor site using liposuction.
Not only will you achieve larger breasts, you will also get the additional benefits of body contouring from the donor sites.
The extracted fat is then processed to separate the viable fat cells from other components.
Injection: The processed fat cells are meticulously injected into the breasts at different depths to ensure an even and natural look.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer Surgery
Typically, the surgery takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the amount of fat transferred.
Is fat transfer safer than implants?
While there's no risk of implant rupture or rejection, there are other potential complications, such as fat necrosis. All risks will be discussed in detail during your initial consultation.
How long do the results last?
While some fat cells may be reabsorbed by the body, the remaining fat can provide long-lasting results. However, significant weight fluctuations can alter your results.
Breast augmentation with fat transfer offers a natural approach, patients must have realistic expectations. The achievable volume is often less than implants, and multiple sessions may be required to attain the desired size. Each person's body is unique, and what works for one might not for another. Everyone has her unique surgical requirements.
Will it help lift sagging breasts?
While it adds volume, it doesn't provide the same lifting effect as a breast lift. Some patients opt for a combined breast lift and fat transfer.
What are popular complementary procedures?
Often, patients seeking breast augmentation with fat transfer may also consider:
1) Tummy Tuck: If liposuction is done in the abdominal region, patients might opt for a tummy tuck to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles.
2) Breast Lift: A combined lift can achieve a perky, fuller appearance for patients with sagging breasts.
