About Breast Fat Transfer
Fat transfer to the breast uses Liposuction to transfer unwanted fat from the stomach, hips, and thighs to your breasts. This method may be favorable if your goal is to have a subtle enhancement that has a natural look and feel. Advantages of a fat transfer breast augmentation include no possibility of a rupture or hardening of a breast implant, no need for maintenance, no incisions, and the reduction of fat in the area of the body it was transferred from.
Am I a good candidate?
Fat transfer breast augmentations are a great procedure for candidates with additional fat volume. For those that are very slim, a fat transfer is not possible as there must be enough body fat to be processed and used for the transfer. Ideal candidates must also be non-smokers and in good health to undergo this procedure.
“Dr. Basile did my breast augmentation in February and less than 8 weeks later I feel 10x better than I did before! Hope his NP is such a doll and they made me feel extremely comfortable in sharing my story to meet the goal that I wanted. Kimber was so much help as well with all the questions along the way! I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else, and I will recommend them to anyone in the future! Thank you Dr. Basile and your team for giving me a new found confidence in myself!”What Our Patients Say
How is a Breast Fat Transfer procedure performed?
The fat transfer procedure consists of two procedures performed simultaneously. Dr. Basile will begin with Liposuction which uses a tiny “cannula” or small needle to loosen and remove body fat from the desired area. This fat is then processed and prepared to be harvested to a new area. The small percentage of transferred fat that can be used after it is processed is then inserted into the breast in various locations with small needles. The site of the original Liposuction procedure, as well as the newly sized breast, is then recontoured and positioned to fit naturally with the body.
You might have decided on a breast augmentation procedure, but haven’t decided what kind you want. That’s okay— each have their own benefits for different results, so make sure to ask any questions you might have during your consultation.

Results and Recovery
A fat transfer is generally less strenuous on the body, therefore, recovery time can be quicker than traditional breast augmentation with implants. Your initial recovery will last up to three days and swelling or bruising will subside within the next few weeks. Depending on your procedure, you may take a few weeks or a few months to return to physical activity.
