Breast Micro-Fat Grafting
Q & A
What Is Breast Micro Fat Grafting?
Micro fat grafting, or fat transfer surgery can be used to contour, shape and plump the breasts, as well as other depressed or deflated areas on the body and face. Dr. Born has perfected this technique and can perform this procedure alone or in conjunction with other procedures including breast augmentation surgery, breast liftsurgery, Brazilian Butt lift and facial surgery. Micro fat transfer to the breasts is performed under general anaesthetic and can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours depending on the amount of fat to be transferred and the complexity of the particular case. During the procedure, fat is taken from a donor site using a liposuction cannula (a thin, tube like syringe) and is then prepared for re-injection into the recipient site. Because you are using your body’s own natural material to add volume back to the breasts, there is no chance of rejection or allergic reaction.
