The Traditional Breast Augmentation Procedure Option: Synthetic Implants

Breast augmentation with implants is the most common surgical procedure performed for women. Breast augmentation is done to enhance the size of women’s breasts, and it may be combined with a breast lift or mastopexy.

Challenges and Lifespan of Breast Implants

The overall complication rate for implant augmentation is around 24%. Breast implants don’t last forever, and they can sometimes cause problems which are very difficult to correct.

Benefits of Using Autologous Tissue for Breast Augmentation

We know from many decades of experience that using the patient’s own body fat is the best way to make a new breast after mastectomy. This technique has also been very safely and effectively used for breast augmentation.

Emergence of Autologous Breast Augmentation Techniques

These procedures are called autologous breast augmentation. Until recently, they have not been widely available for women seeking cosmetic augmentation. Because of recent developments and refinements of techniques and with the development of new operations, it is now possible to offer autologous breast augmentation for cosmetic purposes.

How Autologous Breast Augmentation Works and Its Benefits

These operations utilize the patient’s own body fat to enlarge the size of the patient’s breasts by transferring living tissue to the chest. The results are outstanding in that they are permanent. They can develop feeling, and most importantly, they are soft, natural, and normal in look and feel.

Cost Comparison and Hospital Stay for Autologous Procedures

These operations can now be offered at about the same cost as implant augmentation, and the patient only spends one night in the hospital.

Additional Factors to Consider

When choosing between breast implants and autologous breast augmentation, think about more than just the procedure itself.
