Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting: Before & After Photos

Although the photos are not cropped appropriately, it is apparent that the medial fullness was improved and the gap between the breasts was closed a great deal, which were the goals of this breast fat grafting procedure.

Fat grafting was performed to the left breast only as a balancing procedure.  Nothing was done to the right breast.  Fat grafting can be a very useful surgical adjunct to correcting disparities in size due to intrinsic differences and due to trauma or previous surgery for reconstructive purposes.

This is one of Dr. Hughes’s many breast reconstruction patients.  Dr. Hughes performed fat grafting in this patient who had chest wall surgeries in the past to correct chest wall defects.  Some of the remaining defects were improved with creative fat grafting techniques.  The shape and size were both improved.  Some of the chest wall abnormalities were camouflaged as well.  The patient did not want breast augmentation with implants.  Breast augmentation with fat grafting can only achieve 3/4 cup increase in size, and it is very important that patients realize and understand this limitation.  If more projection or size is desired, breast implants must be considered.

Dr. Hughes transferred fat to the upper poles of each breast due to the hollowing from breast involution following weight loss and pregnancy.  Dr. Hughes performs a great number of breast fat transfer augmentations and implant-based augmentations in his surgery center that serves patients in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills.

Dr. Kenneth Hughes, MD in Los Angeles uses one small incision under each breast to make the breast fat transfer procedure as minimal scar as possible.  Dr. Hughes injects the fat wherever it is needed.  In this case, fat was injected into the upper pole of each breast to provide for more fullness and to lift the breasts.

Fat transfer to the breasts or fat grafting to the breasts can be used to correct asymmetry, improve asymmetry, augment overall breast size, and also correct rippling from breast implants.  This case represents a perfect example of correction of rippling with breast fat transfer.  Dr. Hughes receives patients from Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and all over the world who are interested in his amazing liposuction and fat grafting to the breasts skills.

Dr. Kenneth Hughes, MD in Los Angeles fat grafted this patient’s breasts to achieve better fullness and roundness without the use of breast implants.  The result is about a 3/4 cup to 1 cup increase in size and better shape overall.

The right breast was fat grafted with about 200 cc of fat harvested from the abdomen to improve size discrepancy between breasts.

This patient had previous implants with visible distortion and size mismatch corrected by fat grafting.
