Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation is surgery to change the size of the breast.

Breast augmentation can involve a reduction, or the use of fat, referred to as fat transfer breast augmentation, to increase the size of your breasts or restore breast volume that has been lost. Breast augmentation is clinically referred to as augmentation mammoplasty. Breast augmentation can increase fullness and projection of your breasts, improve the balance of your figure, and enhance your self-image and self-confidence.

Using your body’s own tissue without sacrificing muscle with a natural tissue “flap” or by fat grafting is an alternative to implants for increasing the size of your breasts. Available fat is transferred from one area of the body, called the donor site, to the breast. This transfer of fat often results in improved body contour at the donor site. One such example is the result similar to a “tummy tuck” with the DIEP flap that uses extra fat from the abdomen.

If you are seeking a more natural look and feel in your breast augmentation, transferring your own soft, warm body tissue from where you have extra may be an excellent alternative.
